Default RE: DECATHLON crash and BURNED

Looks like the Seagull Models Decathlon...? Well I had one and I will tell you you probably did not have a glitch. These birds fly like cow dung. As soon as your airspeed drops to low, make a sudden manauver that changes airflow over/under the wing these things go to death spiral mode and splat like the $#!^ they are. I saved mine a few times but alas her destiny was dirt. Funny how the wing is so strong though, I still have mine and it seams yours is intact as well. I think you have inspired me to go ahead and burn my wing to so I don't do anything stupid like buy another one.
