Dave,

I had three more flights with mine today (#10.#11 and #12).
The landings are now perfect, almost walking pace with no wind.

I ALMOST put mine into the ground today. I think it is called "Controlled Filght into Terain". I was doing a full power fly past and it got a bit close. I sort if blinked and just missed the ground by about a foot.

That sure would have left a smoking hole in the ground.!!!

Anyway I have learnt a good lesson, keep your eye on the ball.

I have always been closing the throttle in the dive after a high split "S". When you were doing you high speed pass did you keep full throttle during the dive?.
How sharp was the pullout?.

I am scared I will rip off the wings if I do a full power dive.

Fuel tank now perfect, no air in the UAT at ther end of the flight.


Regards
