RE: My first deadstick!
As has been said by others before - my deadsticks are usually my best landings. I think it is because I concentrate that much more.
I don't deadstick as much as I used to, but they usually result in some old timer correctly yelling "Leave the $%#@ needle valves alone. You youngsters are always messing with your needle valves!!" Or something like that....
Congratulations on handling yours like a pro.
