Default RE: World Models Super Chipmunk 90

On my second flight for the afternoon the engine quited about 3 minutes into the flight, we had a wind coming right on the runway's direction and about 6 mph, gliding her was not a problem, she came all the way to the runway just fine but at the last minute I decided to add the flaps, man! she slowed down to much and wamb!! stalled about a foot over the runway, needless to say the landing gear took the heat.

This is my excuse to go in there and reinforce or re glue the landing mounting blocks, the damage is minor but I'm going in there to make sure the blocks are the way I like to have them.......glued
