Title: For those who want to land with syle...Inquire within.
Post by: StokesAk on August 05, 2009, 12:46:16 AM

Typhoon helps me set this up. Take 1/2  my wing off, we have the start of a good landing!

Oh no! I touched down a perfect angle? No flames spouting out of my plane? This might not look to good!

Thank god for my blender! I pull it out real quick and put it on max tubo throwing my plane off balance.

I rebound off the ground putting my tail into the air and i balance nicely on my nose cone. Thankfully my blender is still plugged in so I fall to the gound.

Well, it does seem as though your gear is intact. What were you thinking?

pfffft. Too many parts still on that bird. And you didn't maintain the nose-stand long enough.

<----- once landed an A6M5 hard eough that, in addtion to shedding gear and wingies wound up near the end of the runway doing a nose-stand that must have lasted at least 10-15 seconds before the plane finally fell back over on its canopy.  :rolleyes: I don't remember who it was but one of the other "friendlies" defending that base was sitting right on the end of the runway in a wirble and saw it and was laughing over vox at my "olympic-calibre dismount!"

wish I had film of that one....  :frown:

As an air Force Mechanic I must say this can be repaired with duct tape. A little safety wire and bubble gum to pull and keep the wings in place and duct tape to cover up the wounds then alittle paint and the pilots will never there was anything wrong with it :devil

then again this is all he heard from the crew chief afterwords :furious

If you're not missing the rear fuselage, don't bother posting.

Gorilla Tape is a useful alternative when you can't wait an hour.

I'm sorry but after that near perfect first touchdown this is like the nerd trying to look cool after he sees the cute girl looking at him.

SAPP uses duct tape only. We have a test contract with the company that manufactures it.
