Very cool Dustin,

You'll soon find out that you best landings will almost always be when it's deadstick. Simply because you know you have one chance to make it and all your concentration will be on the plane.

Glad you tuned it. Cooler air needs a tad more fuel so just by pointing the nose straight up and it quitting says you were a tad lean. Good job in all respects, really good job. Oh yea, you may have noticed that the plane seemd to fly way better in the cooler air.

Planes like cooler air, it's a more dense air so the wing becomes better at making lift.
