I did a wall 5 ft over the runway, and ran out of fuel. It did a hammerhead right into the ground. Broke the fuse forward of LE former. Anybody need a wing?
LOL. I did the same thing tonight. I did a wall about 15 feet above the runway, the engine died and the plane fell forward. I gave some up elevator, but there was not enough speed to pull out. I tore the Saito off and broke the engine mount, but it's pretty easily repaired. I need to get a new mount and do some epoxy work. I hope the engine was not damaged. It looks fine and turns over well and has good compression. I'm gonna check the valves just to be sure. Not sure why the engine died because it's ran great all summer. Worst part is I was doing walls all night long up high, but the first one I did down low stopped the engine Oh well, ***** happens.
