That's my plane in the NSCRA add! First time published.

CA Models Eclipse on Final, 3rd flight in competition ever in Riverside CA. Funny thing is I crashed from this position......not really a crash as much as I pancaked it in. If you look at the pic closely right above the leading edge of the wing there is a faint line. This is the neon green string I was using to help keep my gear in place. I had broke out the landing gear plate during practice and didn't have the time to or tools to perm fix it. I set it up that every landing had to be soft or risk damage. That flight had been the best of the competition and the landing was setup perfect.......guess I got lazy and didn't flare. Gear plate broke again and I got zero on the landing.


Here's a color picture
