Default RE: 1st Crash

Nice work!

Although all this talk of 'dead stick' landing makes me laugh. I learnt to fly on slope gliders, where every landing is a dead-stick (albeit with MUCH lower wing loading than a motorised model). Nowadays I cut the throttle just to keep my glider skills up to date (glide slopes, energy retention, thermalling) :-)
