hitman45... Sorry for your loss....

I had almost the same thing happen to my Avistar/LA 46... It was my first dead stick
after soloing(plug went sour).. Anyway, I was just coming out of my turn heading for
a pass over the runway at speed when the engine quit, being my first dead stick I
went ahead and brought her down way too fast, but all came out good.. As I brought
the model back to the table, my trainer said, You know you had plenty of speed and
you were at the runway... Next time if the same conditions exist, make a circle or two
and bleed that speed off before landing, read what the model is doing, check your
location, and make the best choice to get her down safe.....
