Dead Stick Landing
I was flying my Flatout Biplane a few days ago and in the middle of a snap roll the prop flew off. The airplane does not glide very well but I was able to turn it back to the runway and land safely. When I went over to retrieve the airplane I realised that the prop had cut a big slice in the wing and ripped off one of the aleron controll linkages that connects the upper aileron to the lower aileron [:'(]. There is one linkage on each side. Thank redundancy! Has anyone else expierienced a prop saver failure like this? The prop saver looked okay before the flight. A little worne out but no huge noticiable cracks.
Thanks!
Thanks!
