Guys,
A link to the video.A little background.The motor test ran fine,then got cranky at flight time.Once running,it checked ok,and we launched.First dirty approach was to get the feel of the sink rate.I was told to expect alot more sink than that,off power.On the go around,the motor started popping and spitting,and then never made full power.Wind dead calm.Last approach was still fast,but I was afraid to go around again,for fear the engine would quit.It's a US Microjets(AMT USA)450,which I will probably replace.In any case when it touched it was still fast,and I got the dreaded hop.Good news is,there's not a scratch on the jet.Just 2 bent struts.
I will get the motor issue straight,and add some more flap and crow,and now know that it takes long,flat approaches.I can't say enough good things about this airplane.Flies like a nuclear locomotive,and every design and component is top notch.
