Wow! Great Zero! Does it still live?
No, unfortunately it crashed in a landing process – pilot error.
Previous flights I used to lower the gears first and then the flaps.
When gears was down the Zero had a little nose down attitude, but when flaps came down, it stabilized itself and was rock solid on landing approaches.
But for a change I would try to lowered the flaps first and then the gears – stupid.
At low altitude and downwind with low speed I lowered the flaps, and the Zero boomed up very rapidly and stalled.
I quickly gave full power on the engine, flaps up, and tried to softly pull up on the elevators, but it was too late. I never got the Zero under control again, and then it happened.
