RE: Run time and deadstick
Mike, the "fly it like ya stole it" is a funny line. My buddy has that on his spoiler on his dirt car racer. Its a common saying around the local dirt car tracks. Why keep nose up? Because I was coming across the end of a corn field. Nose down and I'd be repairing something. If you were far enough away from the landing zone, you'd never make it keeping the nose down.
