Was intentionally coming in hot, went to throttle up and go around, but engine hiccuped. I tried to slow her by wagging the tail with the rudder, but the rudder was too responsive, a wheel collar let go, and half a cartwheel resulted. 1 broken prop, 1 bent gear, 1 paint chip, and 1 pair of undershorts were the only casualties.

Sweet bird ! , what size engine do you have in it , I think I can land one of those on my field . At least you didn't have to rebuild as I did. I also must mention you have a very steady hand and stick control. I guess you don't drink

GL repairing .

45cc Homelite conversion powers her. The maiden was after two beers. That is why my inputs are smooth. I fly WAY smoother with a coupla in me. ...at least I think I do!

What kit is that? And what is the wingspan? I have a cap 21 but not sure of what it is but looks really similar to that one.

The landing looked fine to me. You did sorta had too much rudder though. At our field, if you come in a little hot and run out of runway, theres high grass at each end to stop the plane. It will stop the plane without usually any kind of damage whatsoever.

YOU WERE DRINKING THATS JUST WHAT WE NEED IN THIS HOBBY UNBELIVABLE!!!

Deadeye

Oh Christ, keep your pants on. 2 beers hardly qualifies as 'drinking'. I've seen guys fly more dangerous sober. Pfft.

Gee, I wonder what the AMA might have to say about THIS!!!!

Deadeye

Gee, I'm not sure. Why don't you and timothy thompson up there turn me in and we'll see? Please. I implore you to turn me in to the AMA. Then they can come and confiscate my radios and planes. Sonofa... Don't you guys have anything better to do? What a couple of whiners! It's enough to drive a man to drink. [X(] LOL!

RC-Captain

Deadeye, I'm sorry for opening a can of HELL..... I thought I would get away with having a man to man conversation with out everyone chiming in on something you have to take responsibility for.

P.S. it funny how the people attacking you had nothing to say until it was a negative attack.

Deadeye

Hey bud, no sweat. It's gonna take a lot more than those two to upset me. I've got pretty thick skin.

RC-Captain

Did you steal my spare skin ? .......

Deadeye

Yeah. I had to so I could sell it and buy more beer!!! LMAO!

Deadeye and RC-FIEND,

AMA general rule number nine effective January 1, 2005 states:
I will not operate my model aircraft while under the influence of alcohol or within eight(8) hours of having consumed alcohol.

RC-Captain

I think you need to chill out a little . The title of the thread is 'Cap-21 maiden, botched landing' not are you drinking while flying a toy plane. Who are you anyway the AMA police ? Relax and enjoy the movie.

Your flagrant disobedience of AMA policies should have you thrown out. I don't want to be tied to you for your pathetic inabilities to read or obey the rules. When you applied for AMA you were told to sign your name to verify that you had read and understood the rules. I would tell you to read the rules again, but you're probably too stewed to even read this. I am an AMA member who obeys the rules.

RC-Captain

I'm not the party in question and feel you are out of line ! If this was a post in a AMA thread you would be making sense , but it isn't so please use common sense when answering a post. STICK TO THE TOPIC , it's just that simple.

My post 16 and 18 are as much in line as your post 12 and 14.

RC-Captain

But your first post had nothing to do with the thread so I'm done responding to you GL .
