Default First Dead Stick

Hey all...went flyin yesterday and the weather was a little chilly but i needed to take it up(sunny and hardly any wind...with that weather you cant pass it up) Well i was flying around for a while and went decided to go into a hammerhead, it went straight up for a while and then...nothing. OH NO! Man does she fall fast lol. I tipped the nose down to gain airspeed and came in to my approach just like i would with the engine running and brought her home...that was my first dead stick and i was surprised how well it flew even with no engine. Only now i KNOW i have to bring it down and dont have the luxurie of powering out of it

anywho...just thought ide share, i got her tuned after that and took it up right after and it runs great.
