Hey XXX
Glad I gave you a chuckle and I agree engine cuts on idle power may not be classed an engine failure. I can tell you it was a big surprise and very sudden. It was not as a result of ham fisted yanking closed either.
The flaps were manual on left side of roof. Half a broom handle and a bush which kept popping out of the hole holding the flap setting. Sudden bang and loss of lift which really scared the student in left seat!
Wing root cracks starting in windscreen. I was told that is just the gel coat she'll be right. Still not a good look and I never totally believed them. I have never seen this type of defect in other composite ga aircraft. Seems ultra light are a different breed.
Z!
