Anything would have caught fire today... It did hit 50c... Well, 49.9c officially!!!
Looks like a good off airport landing - all walked away!

Anyone else notice the lack of tyre marks behind the wreck??

With full load, slow speed and landing in soft sand with a fairly inclined uphill gradient, the wheels literally dig in on impact and the landing run sometimes comes down to less than ten feet. Yes, I am not exaggerating, I have landed once with a flamed out engine in a piston on freshly ploughed soft earth and the landing run/marks did not stretch beyond the point where the tail finally came to rest. Also, they are liable to get obliterated pretty fast in sand.

No doubt there will have been plenty of skid marks elsewhere!! ;)
