RE: 1st Crash
My trainer had a bum motor in it. It would only run at full throttle and cut off anything below that. I had a few members look at it and they even said it was a faulty motor. Anyways gettting back on topic I found it easier to deadstick a plane than actually landing it powered when I started in the hobby. Don't know why. With a warbird it is a different story and a little more dicey. There is no telling how many times I have had to deadstick my TF p-47 and belly land on the grass due to a a certain brand of engine which I will not name here.
