This is what happens flying a Spit16 too low too slow with flaps extended( i didnt realize they were until late in the flight)

i wasnt really trying to accomplish anything in this vid...i was kinda just jackin around...its still amusing to watch though lmao...and YES my wing actually scrapes the ground at one point just past the hangar.

lol they didnt go up by themselves i noticed the little flaps on the wing that only pops out when you drop your flaps.

and thereason i was going so slow is because the majority of the flight they were down. add that with the fact that i was going up down and almost every direction in between and we got some probs.

er..... going SLOW in a Spit16 is below 90 mph..... and your flaps autoretracted at 0:51 mins into the film. That was one of the reasons you crashed... flaps *down* will reduce your stall speed significantly.
