ha ha It came to me after watching one of my club members land his plane using the famous cartwheel maneuver
Hey you know it's funny you mention that. CAUSE THAT IS BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY!
My D**N enya engine quite on me today RIGHT after takeoff. And there is NO missed approach or emergency landing area where we fly. YOu have to be good and lucky. Thankfully I had enough sense not to try to force it back full circle and tried to keep it as upright as possible as it doved toward the ground. I ripped my landing gears from teh fuse, bent the front strut which is amazing as it is VERY thick and strong. Ripped the fin from teh back just from the shock of hitting, and put a 1" hole in my wing. All and all it was onyl about a 1 hour repair job and now she is ready to go. The only cost was a prop and some time. Sigh.
