Hey all:-( CeeGee my UCD has 4-40 on it... They do pretty good... I have
C.F. on my 4*60.....

Anyway the 4-40 did not help me today:-( I was flying for a while and was
making a approch to land but instead did a touch and go, then I thought just
one more try on a flat spin.... So I go vertical, then transition into the one of
my greatest flat spins, a ways down I give more power to climb in a flat spin,
But the engine was a slight bit down on power on this hotter morning... So it
did just hand there for a while looking nice, I even got a comment from the
members about it... Then I heard the words.. You better think about doing
something Ron your pretty low... Anyway I tried to roll it out but it was a no
go.. So I thought I'd just fly out inverted this was about 10-15' (I got into the
flat spin hopnotized again) Anyway after trying to roll it, I lost a bit more
altitude now being about 8' and I just started losing sight of it(ground level
and into the wash) anyway before I lost sight of it, it looked like it started to
be in position to fly on out so I held the sticks and I was waiting for it to
reappear.. But then I heard the engine die... Then that nasty sound:-( If I
had more fuel.. I think I would have had another one of those amazing
saves.... But not so on this day:-((((.... Damage was not as bad as I thought..
wings and tail feathers in great shape, Did lost a horn on the left ail.. broke
the prop... But the fuse got a good hit just after the canopy... Very fixable
but not a great feeling:-(
My wheels did not touch the groung first today:-(((((
