couldn't resist...

Post by n421nj »

So I took off today in the mk1 with 3 blade and immediately shut the radiator flap and began climbing at about 140 kias to see what awaited me. Coolant temps rapidly rose and around 120 smoke began bellowing out from the engine. A few moments later the engine quit and I became a glider. Turning off the mags and securing the fuel I made a perfect belly landing, bending back all three blades around the nose. I felt bad purposely inflicting damage to such a beautiful airplane but just couldn't resist seeing accusim in action. No other planes on the market are so in depth.

Hey Andrew, I belly landed my B-17G and I also ditched it in the water. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do! Finding out what Accu-Sim will do is one of those times!

Ouch, the best/worst is when its by accident, when your coming in and waiting for that touch down bump and sound and instead get a thud and sounds of a different type :oops:
