Didn't Bill Hempel do that a few years back?

Geez, now all you guys think it's "fashionable" to land that way!



(good job!)

Does anybody know what caused it? Midair? Snap roll?

That was insane....I saw that video in HD fomat @ [link=http://Higher Plane Productions]www.higherplaneproductions.com[/link]. The owner of HPP(Fred Midgett) is a real airplane enthusiast, he goes to a lot of the big rc events and films, then uploads lots of videos. So it like almost being there live. He even does special requests, i aske him to ask John Glezellis what engine and prop combo he had, and he wrote back and said he'd do it. Well he interviewed him just for me, that was awesome....

Not sure if he is a member here, but Thanks Fred!!!

Most of those on the you tube link are of that fake full scale landing. The first one from down under is pretty good though.

Some of the first H9 260s had some wing problems but they have redisined the wing. The new version is really good.

There are actually several RC broken wing landings in the listing.
