ScienceIsCool,

Congrats on flying your first dead stick! [sm=thumbup.gif] I remember my first dead stick...I was flying with 2 other guys so I couldn't hear the engine quit and continued flying around...then, my instructor (more like advisor...I'm soled and I hold the only transmitter controlling the airplane while he yells stuff from behind ) said the engine quit and just to fly it in...well, flying a taildragger avistar, the mains hit about halfway down the runway, but the tail flew for quite a while before I could give it up elevator without going back into the sky

Happy RCing!
