Default RE: Firebird maiden

Jeremy,

Thanks.The structure is incredible.We're thinking that the residual thrust was increased as the ECU was compensating for the rub.I knew it was fast,but couldn't go around again,as the engine was failing.Held it off as long as I could with the available runway length.The grass is rough all the way out there,and the bumps contributed to the hop.Very lucky,only 2 bent struts.
