had forgotten about this til i recently stepped into gas........the airplane was tough to land as the idle changed drastically........the ending tells the whole story.
the member is a great guy, so no pun intended to him, but it's reality that makes one realize why a kill switch needs to be installed.

What is that expression that defines an action that is repeated over and over expecting a different result even though the conditions have not changed? Seems that flying a pattern until the gas ran out and then landing dead stick would have been a better approach.

I think a properly tuned engine prior to take-off would've prevented that mishap. I'm very jealous of that mile long runway. Some modelers have all the luck.
