My Knife edge is very ugly, and I do not mix, I just fumble it to make it look as smooth as possible! Call me a freelance flier. If I can get several flights in a day without a crash its a success! This is my 5th year flying and only took lessons one weekend day from a good pilot.

License??? What is that? My club has a training program but I never participated. I have been through at least 18 40 sized planes. Only 2 of them have crashed beyond repair. I am down to 4 Planes now, I got rid of the ones I really didn't fly much..

My Thrilling new TWIST, Hanger 9 advanced 40, Kyosho Super stearman Bipe and my original trainer Hobbico Super Star (still in one piece).

As far as dead stick landings: I have had more than a dozen, I just expect to have them now and then. I have been lucky every single time to bring the plane down harmlessly.

I have learned everything from my one flier buddy, online here and trial and error and lots of patients.

My flying club is only about 80 members. So when I go out I am usually the only one there. Seldom do I see another pilot. I only know they exsist from the sign in log in the white mail box by the porta potty.

That means no pressure and I can take as long as I want doing all of the pre-checks and fly making mistakes without spectators.

So the point is: Yeah my Knife edge is pretty Bad, but we always pratise and learn and maybe someday someone will see me do a nice one besides my kids!!!!

Hahaha

Twist Rocks!
