Thanks...
On the contrary i'm more motivated to get this "thing". I suppose if i kept crashing alot i would get the hint... but we'll wait and see.
As far as panic... i don't think so. When it was starting to drop i actually increased power but it still never pulled up. I live here in the rockies and we get these weird wind patterns up here. I suspect that i had more down wind at the plane than where i was. I had made that turn several times at about the same speed/bank so maybe it was a drop in signal (which my ego really wants to believe
) but i suspect the wind was a bit stronger and i lost lift.
As far as the finicky engine goes... they would run awesome on the ground then just quit. It's been behaving lately though. At 8500 ft. You really have to dial them in and even then they don't have the same power as sea level.
