 Re: Geesh I hate this
sp2pilot,
Seems like you have the concept down. As always bad luck will most of the time preval for a beginner pilot as i have had my fair share of bad luck.. In a little bit these things may still happen but you will learn to compensate for these things. I know it is an after thought but take every plane you have as high as you can go and kill the throttle(not the eninge kepp it running) just pull the throtle all the way back and see how the plane reacts when you have little power. This wil help really help the next time the plane deadsticks for sure. I used to do this with my can-do only i felt stupids enough to kill the engine. Sometime at about 10 feet inverted to see if i could land it. This has helped with the bigger planes. I will also not bring in the can-do sometimes until it died. I do not recommend this as i said i was felling stupid. But it did help when my goldberg edge would deadstick. Which happened alot with the new glow enigne. I reconvered it about two time from this and i contribute it all to the practice on the Can-Do. Sorry to hear about your loose dont loose hope and keep up the good work...
