Default RE: Parachute?

Yeah a parachute sounds good, and the use of it on "real" aircraft...
well will see.. But I perfer to just land it on it's wheels:-) Though,
today someone mentioned it while I was "testing my repaired
radio and hovering my 4*60 at about 12' then tried to tail slide it,
it was going pretty good but at about 8' it started falling towards
the canopy, I gave it a couple clicks of throttle and some "push"
and it looked like it started to strighten out but then it fell inverted...
full "push" and "Come-on 91 pull me out@#$^&%$.. Well It returned
control to me at just about 2' off the Ground...))))))) Well moral of
the story.... Stay calm... Have LOTS of power and..... I do not think
a chute would have helped me:-)
