Cap 232 hard landing/video

Rate of descent a little too steep.....fuselage snaps in half.....throttle pulls wide open...watch what happens..

Wow--thats what happens when you try to drag your Cap in like a trainer. The plan looks like it's about to stall all the way down. Should have used more throttle and a faster approach.

Cap's shouldn't be harrierrerred in anyway. They're IMAC planes, not 3D planes.

Just my humble opinion.

Not a 3D plane? Have you ever seen one fly? The most stable harrier machine ever!

RE: Cap 232 hard landing/video

I've seen Matt fly a lot...never seen him make a landing approach like that (ie- stalling it in from 10' off the deck)!!! Ouch. Sorry for the loss. Looked like a nice CAP...
