My Posts This: Topic Forum | I thought my Century friends would find this funny, I know I did,,
man O man,, in 9 years of flying I had my first forced Auto do to a Flame-out and it blew my mind LOL,, I was in such awe wondering what happen, it took me 2, 3 seconds to think "hit the Auto Switch",,
the guys said I was up maybe 40ft, I would say more like 30ft, she was out over the high grass when she flamed-out on me, and the nose just happen to be in the wind (what luck cause it was very windy today, so as I hit the A-Switch all I could think is that I would loose HS and I would dump it in the high grass and damage it, but at that second I remembered "push the nose over some" and she flew down right over to the cut grass, I started to give'r pitch at about 5ft, then lowered the pitch at about 2ft, she hit the ground at about 0 pitch just right and skidded to a stop,,
the thing is like I said, I haven't had a heli engine flame-out on me in 9 years, it just blew my mind, but she lives to fly again LOL
Awe,,

I go flying, autos are part of my routine. I guess you can equate it to like learning to ride a bicycle for the first time. The more and more you do it, the more proficient you will get.
