Default RE: Showtime

Some days, you just know you should have stayed home. First flight of the day on the ST, 4th flight overall. Tried the SFGs for the first time, too. Don't know if I like them or not. Anyway, about 10 minutes in, the engine died in a low inverted flat spin. Managed to get it upright and flat before it hit. Not much damage, but it did rip the gear out, broke both wheel pants and 1 SFG, and poked a hole in the covering on the wing bottom. Should be a pretty easy fix, but I don't know if I really want to. Although the plane flies great, it really doesn't fit my style of flying. I've become addicted to profiles...
