Default LT 40 deadstick

Well myplane got damaged today third time at the field, **** happens. One of the guys had her upand I was just going to takethe sticks when she deadsticked low.She landed across the runway and ran into the safety fence. I experienced the walk of dread for the firsttime as we went to see the damage.



Will repair her asap as really keen to get back in the air, need to get another plane finished so I have a spare.

Well, I'm sure you know this but when you're handing her over she should be high, trimmed out, flying straight and level, and not full throttle.

Hope you can fix her.

Well thats her repaired and has been tested as I got three good flights with her, she is as good as new.

Covered her as quick as possible so I could get flying but apart from maybe adding some more stripes to balance it upI think I will leave it as.

Was quite lucky as the damage was wing.
