Ok so I'm flying a hanger9 pizazz with a satio 50 it ran good for the first five flights or so and then just starts cutting off every flight. Our field is atop a landfill and just on the other side of the runway is a gully going down about 65 degrees. Once I was up and flying around and the engine cut off I was directly in front of me about 70 feet up. so I try to make it back to the field and it's coming strait toward me it's about to stall so I put it into a shallow dive. I then loose sight of the plane. I was thinking oo crap! so for some reason I pull back on elevator and it pops back over the top and then stalls 5 inches off the ground. I came so close to crashing it into the side of the hill I had just enough speed to pop back over the hill plane did not roll 2 feet! You would not believe the silence that fell over the field when it went out of sight and then all the noises after it popped over the top undamaged!

another time the same day after we think we have the problem solved I'm flying at around 50 and as soon as it got right in front of me it quit....... Well it stalled and started to come straight down very fast. I pull back on the elevator and nothing happens. It falls till it's about 1 to 2 feet off the ground and pulls level then stalls for a landing.... how is that for luck! It did nothing at all until the last second and finally pulled up. I brought about 6 of my family members to watch me and there were about 15 other people at the field. All I heard were screams, ooohhs aahhhasss, all kind of noises. I turn around and every body is like why did you do that, what were you thinking, did you do that on purpose

I solved the problem by buying an os 61fx
