Default Re: Puerto Rico visits Florida

Me and Mike were both flying at the same time. He was in a low harrier I think and the motor quit. I think it just bent the gear. Funny thing is he says I think I ran out of gas. I start thinking to myself that I must be low because I went up before him. I circle around and just as I get it pointed at the runway the motor quits. We have a 8 foot berm at the end of our runway. I came up short and landed in some tall grass on the other side of the berm. I had no sight of the plane the last 6 feet or so. I ended up breaking the carbon gear that was already damaged from when the plane was shipped to Joe Nall and busted the exhaust tubes on my cannisters. I also was borrowing Mikes Mejlik prop and broke that as well. I got an aluminum gear on it today and just need to get some cannisters and its ready to go. I need to learn to set a timer. Just haveing too much fun.
