Goirish. I had a sneaky feeling you were also in a down wind turn. I've been caught in the same predicament many many times and once in while ended up bellied in or broken the gear. Like you stated this was not your home field, Some fields you have no choice on which way you enter the landing, and having to make that downwind turn to base. You would be surprised on how many older RC Pilots still make this mistake and loose the plane. Then blame it on the plane being a POS, Then the very next day they go out with another airplane and do the very same thing. What is really sad they will not take any advice nor believe they were actually stalling the plane causing it to crash. OH YEH just take the guy a sandwich and a cold drink next time you go out LOL!!!
