I was doing some hovering the other day (Last Good Flying Day in Central IL) with my Profile Hots and got it to lower to the ground by the motor souring. It was the best tailslide I have ever done. I was hovering about 20 ft up and slid down about 10-15 ft then the motor completely died and the plane flipped over and went it. I had enough altitude to flatten the plane out but it pancaked and took the nose gear off and snapped the vertical off. That was the only damage. I am getting pretty good at this hovering stuff but only because I burn the fuel when I can and use the sim when I am not in the shop. I hope to burn another gallon or two this weekend if the rain will ever stop.
