That would ruin your whole afternoon. What is the engine? And the plane? Looks a bit like a Silver Swallow and the model could be a rat racer? I only have one Silver Swallow these days and it is only 1.5cc. Runs well though in a small oldtimer.

I had some similar "fun" today but it did not involve diesels. I was trying to land my Hanger 9 Piper Pawnee and I pulled the throttle off too much (you need to fly it in and I did not) and she dumped into the ground and ripped the tail wheel off. All fixed now but very embarrassing with the "peanut gallery" watching.

Hope you can find some parts.

PS Like the grass. If I took a similar picture here in Dubbo, it would be mostly sand. And we have had a good season.
