Cant say I thought id ever be pleased the little alpha's sink like stones with full flap, no power, and a slight side slip, but sure saved my bacon on my cpl flight test! I was high, due to visual illusions of the sloping terrain (idiot), pulled out all stops to get down. I dropped to 150ft agl before going around. I told him during the preflight I would go round at his discretion...
Had a lovely 'chat' about making the paddock back on the ground!!
Great little plane for flight tests the r2160..just dont try drag her in with a howling gusty xwinds onto a sealed runway...they dont like tail strikes! Il Never forget that!
