RobdeVries Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It was many years ago and I had recently earned my war bird rating. I was one of those fortunate individuals who breezed right through flight training. However, that experience birthed in me a dangerous overconfidence that almost cost me my live. Port Macquarie..while turning from base to final...a rumble a turning stall. I managed just to pull it in a nose up attitude, forgot to lower the gear, and I'm glad I can still virtually walk away from it I just love the A2A Accusim Razorback. It really keeps you on your toes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrin Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I love the plane where whenever the stallhorn sounds it means you are actually in trouble, especially when you've ran out of altitude! Starting to understand this plane. It's top quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxter Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yes indeed, it can bite pretty savagely... The men and boys that flew these things in real life were truly very brave individuals. Cheers and thanks for the screenie. Your results were much better than my first attempts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankees Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ooops, a bit of a messy landing there... I've had a few of those as well, but it's getting better.. Jan Kees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Dog Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Aren't you glad you don't have to actually pick up the repair bill! Great shot and great landing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 That's a sad sight, just as well its virtual as you could have been up for a court martial. That's a great model, the damage modeling is awesome. This reminds me of a book I read about Bob Johnston, he was a Tbolt ace in ETO. There was a passage in the book about stalls when he was checking out in the Tbolt, very bad for what is a very heavy airplane at low alt! Gripping story, very skilled pilot and amazing airplane...
