Hey All,
What a GREAT thread this is!!! Please don't let it die as I have perfected the three point landing. If it really is wing tip nose and wing tip, am I right?? If so then I have it right as I've been practicing it lots...LOL Telemasters are SO forgiving and tough what a great designed plane..
TTYL,
Bruce

Hey All,

A friend of mine flies a (full scale) Meridian for his personal plane,, he flies in the front, his wife sits back in the back,,,they go back and forth from Texas to New Hampshire,,they stop for fuel along the way,,one time the weather was really nasty, but Jim wanted to go ahead and get fuel,,he said the landing was hairy,, he bounced it in (this is a guy with several thousand hours),,,he said he was taxing to get fuel when his wife said "do you get to log that as one landing or three",,,he said he wouldn't talk to her for the rest of the trip

Hey All,
I usually say something like I hope I can recover ALL of her vital organs... This was at Fly For Tots, just north of Raleigh, NC this past year and after her last candy drop on Sunday, the red Giant Telemaster in the back shucked a wing...lol Not pretty but I recovered most of her organs to fly again. The pretty red/yellow in the front one lived to fly again..

Here is a short conversation I had with my instructor on the second flight of my new airplane. I had another one before for a few months, so I was already landing.
Him: Are you landing?
Me: Um...
Him: Oh, its deadstick...
Me:Oh...
Him: Keep it level!
Me: oops
The approach looked great so he let me land.We noticed it was deadstick just before the bounce. It bounced a few feet and stalled, landed on the front gear first, and the fuselage split in one spot. Just a bit of epoxy fixed it though...

LOL what a thread, I actually madden my 100% composite 126in 54 pound B17 yesterday, It raided earlier in the day, so I deiced to go out by my self to madden the plane that way there was no one there to watch or say anything if it decide to go in as I was uncertain of the wing spar, and the CG as I had no directions to go off of. But the flight went great,

Where did that DOG come from?????
No kidding, actually said that after putting my Biper in a ditch. Had a very bad maiden, CG was way off, almost got it down, and some fool drove a front loader across the approach, had to go around, was nursing it back when the plane started a hard left roll that I couldnt correct and fly stable, and this dog came out of nowhere and started sniffing my leg, Not sh***ing you. I finally eased it down to where it didn't get totaled on impact.

I know what you mean about the depth perception, I was on final one particularily windy day thinking I was going to clear two small trees when suddenly they were in my flight path, one wing hit and it did a flat spin and I thought I was going to rev the engine and actually land it, but alas the motor died and she landed wrong also
