September 19, 200916 yr Caught fire ? or did you ask the emergency services for some foam on the runway ?Got any pic of the of the engines and propellers after that ?I know it ain't a J41, but one was just down the road from me. The aircraft was in pretty good condition afterwards. But the cleanup was messy, a lot of carbon fibre fragments (from props and strakes) necessitating breathing gear etc. All in all a textbook effort.
September 19, 200916 yr Author No, there was no damage or fire on the model afterwards. It just made me think about how hard it is to slow this plane to begin with. And with no gear down, it's even harder. I wasn't able to slow enough to belly land the first pass, I had to go around and keep my speed low. Interesting scenario.Tim D.
