Title: My first SAPP landing attempt
Post by: Latrobe on April 18, 2008, 04:11:23 PM

Yes, i know, too many parts are still intact, but not too bad for a first try. Still working on the roll over when landing. So SAPP, hows this for a first attempt?  :D

NO NO NO NO NO! Ailerons are there...rudders...one engine is fine, and your gear are all fine.

A fine effort, and added points for not being the default skin, the burning engine and both wings missing..  Dual rudder removal is a big part of landing a 38 in correct SAPP fashion.

You are clearly on your way though  :aok

I was going to point out the lack of rudder removal too, but ya it was a good effort for a first try, I'd give ya a 7 out of ten   :aok

The beginning of a true S.A.P.P. landing cartwheel.
