    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Shoulda just stayed home today... Inverted dead stick on third flight, had enough altitude to get rolled over and head somewhat towards the runway. But not enough. Fly on a hump and plane disappeared behind the hump. Stalled it and it crashed from 6-10 ft up. Well it fits in the bed of the...
