Default Soy Beans saved my SSE

Had a real lucky day flying today. As I'm sure you all know, it's hotter than h here in the south and I did not adjust fuel mixture to compensate so was running lean. Had just made a practice approach and pulled up and was about 50-60 ft in the air and then no engine, was over nice soft soy beans and was able to bring it down very slowly and it settled in without any damage.

Boy do I love geen soy beans but don't try it in dried ones, they really tear up covering.

Default RE: Soy Beans saved my SSE

My experience wasnt quite as nice,,,my 1/2A Cap 21 went down in a soybean field, about 1000 feet out, at a funfly, so I grab my Tx and head out to my last visual fixed point, everyone landed and shut down except this one a hole, he and his unmuffled warbird continued to do low pass and victory rolls with his home made giant stick over me so that I couldnt hear my servo's move because of the noise... I turned around and threw my arms up, but to no avail...finally I came close enough to hear my plane move and got it, most of the fun trip back through the soybeans I thought of accidently falling on this idiots plane, but decided to thank my bud for the invite and explain I had some things to get done that day and left instead...mine turned out to be battery failure....Rog

Not nearly as bad as corn stalks.
