Forgot to fly it!!
My RCM trainer met it's fate when on final approach I didn't do any
of that throttle management. Just left the throttle where it was,
(low idle), and watched as it floated in then just stopped in mid
air! Nosed in from about 15 feet up and hit hard. That OS .40FSR
took the hit well and is still running today. The plane was a total
loss. I don't feel so bad now, because at our Jumbo Fly-In this
past summer a highly experienced pilot did the same thing with
a beautiful, huge Mr. Mulligan. His looked even worse than mine!
