A lot of stuff was going on but I suspect he'll admit to making mistakes. I'll probably head to the factory in a day or so to check out the plane. I think it's getting shipped there for evaluation. I'll get pictures if any are interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO7BuPG_vVo&feature=popularYou are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #2 June 7, 2010 Wow. Nice recovery, Matt. Did he just bank too steep and lose altitude? It looks like someone swatted the wing as he came around. Good job either way but I bet his skivvies were totaled. My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know, that was a pretty shitty landing... he may need some more practice bringing it in a little softer and more level."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
