I would chop throttle about 10 feet out and get a nice soft landing, if I kept any power on it would glide forever. The first dead stick happened just as I passed over about 20 feet up, I was too far over the runway to bring it down, so my only option was to go around, and thanks to the nice glide time I was able to bring it around and almost made it to the runway, landed about 10-15 feet out in the beans. If the beans had been harvested, it may have made it all the way.

I am really surprised at the problems you had with the T-34. I flew mine without a buddy box after about 10 flights of the Apprentice. I didn't maiden it, I let my friend do that, good thing too, turned out I had the CG off. Once I corrected it, I then flew it and love the way it flies.
