Default RE: Good Ali save.

I was fairly sure you would not mind me posting the link Ali, there's a lot can be learned from watching the video, not least of which is never stop flying them.

I also think that although events transpired against you the layout of the model, in particular the large tip tanks, may just have also helped in delaying any tip stall onset. Of course you still need one of those weirdly hard wired brains that maybe only a few have to take advantage of that fleeting window of opportunity in which such a save is possible.

I've maybe only had one occasion where one of my own jets has looked destined for the deck but somehow survived. Depending on how certain a prang looks I know a point is reached where I shut the engine down to try to minimise the severity at ground zero, thankfully rare these days.
