I am sorry I disagree with an intentional dead stick....a dead stick is the only time in RC aviation where the the dead aircraft has the right of way...in other words a true RC aviation emergency.......most of the time it is no big deal.....but the trouble with a dead stick is you are commited to land.....and with a novice........there is no going around when the idiot at the other end of the flight line walks on the runway unannounced........to me it much better to pull power back to a low idle, and talk the student through a couple of don't add powers, land it from heres........you will probably have a dead stick or 2 during your trainning cycle......use those as your real dead sticks
