Default RE: ParkZone P-51 Mustang RTF

afpe45 thanks for verifying that cog for me.

Remind me never to pull near-verticals when the liolpy is nearly depleted .. lawndarted into some high weeds, no damage ( count our blessings)
Yeah a LONG time ago I trashed a stang doing that exact thing. I was too far away to hear it die and by the time I figured out WHY it had fallen backward (looked for all the world like a Hammerhead stall[X(]) I could not gather it up before it lawn darted straight in. It was only about 120 feet up at the time also. I now try to fly about 200 feet or more up (or 3 mistakes high) and can pretty much always recover no matter when the motor quits.
