Not sure why he’s so happy. I may rip him out of his seat and punch him in his happy face.
Two wings, prop, cowl, axel, elevator.
Dead stick. Head wind. No altitude.
Second flight.

Ugh. Man I hate when that happens. Especially on a new plane.

Me too @AKNick . As in I hate to see that for ya. Those Edges along with the 35RA are pretty awesome combos but I know you aint feeling awesome right now. Hate to admit it but when you said "Punch him in his happy face" made me giggle . So the "Happy Camper" (NOT) and bush pilot thing popped into my head . Sorry for that .

Sorts sorry to see that way to soon. That must have been painful, and it seems that every part has a little damage.

When out flying early this morning. Had three good flights and then t started to get quite dark and the wind started to pick up. So packed it in and went home half way home sun is shining and no wind, look over my shoulder and it pitch black. So you are riding home wondering if you should go back to the field, but I did not will flying again another time. Really starting to get the hang of this 84 inch Sundowner. And it is flying good and fast even if the engine is on the small size. Need to build a cowl for it to look a little better, or maybe buy a DLE 35 Ra and see how fast it really is.

Put a Moki 2.10 on that plane and it will really pick up speed.

It was . Got 2 flights on each plane before the late afternoon T-storms. QQ300 and Cap232ex where both a hoot. Rock Star flew solid too. Cap is becoming my favorite . Had the field all to my lonesome .
