RE: Wild Hare 29% Sukhoi Build
Welll...we all get smarter, I guess...I had a deadstick into the tall grass (pilot stupidity); tore up both landing gear legs (the right gear leg; a lot; the left, not so bad), and even bent the wing tube some.
Apparently my dead stick was caused by the clunk getting bent around inside the tank (series of downline snap rolls apparently; should have put a bit of brass tube on the zygon tubing insde the tank so it wouldn't bend forward...lesson learned)...I landed the first deadstick fine (had plenty of altitude). Checked ignition, battery, gas, servos...all okay...test ran engine, all okay...took it up again, touch and go... okay, downwind leg it cut out again, not enough altitude...had to put it down in the rough. Right gear took most of the brunt...snapped the landing gear ply plate in half...right wing took some impact and bent the wing tube and shattered some ply as well. Left wheel aluminium bent some...wings are okay as is most of the fuse.
Looks like I can fix it okay...
