I don't know if you realize it but it ain't lookin good for the home team. I don't see any control surface deflection so it musta been a control failure?

Must have been a really calm day, otherwise you could not have balanced it like that on the runway.

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Tried a steep approach with flaps down, and the ground ended up being about a foot further down than it should have been. One of the retract scissors broke and the gear spun sideways.

Sorry no carnage, but I got that picture and had to share it. I have however had one similar that impacted the ground at a high rate of speed at a a similar attitude.[:@]

H9 1.50. Flies like a *****cat. Usually lands like one too. Only damage was a 20.00 prop and the gear, which Horizon replaced free.
