So Russell, what's the final verdict on the plane crash? Or should I say, in the final analysis, as Shannon concluded; you put the plane in a mush stall situation within insufficient altitude and or power to recover.
I have read and reread your description and the part about being near power lines raised red flags to me and now that you have had some time to heal up and think about it, what are your thoughts on the incident.
My concern in regards to my own plans, focused mainly on increasing the power and leaving the rest of the plane alone. I haven't flown a plane without rudders. Now that I've read about your experience and others, it has me thinking that the modification to change to rudder pedals is probably a good idea.
As someone who has done just about every risky thing in a ultralight that you can do I certainly am not criticizing anybody else's flying. But I know from experience the sooner I get to 2000 feet above ground level the sooner I can relax a little bit and know that I have a little bit of breathing room or should I say a little space to make an error and be forgiven.
Anyway, I'm glad you're all right and looking at putting your plane back in the air.
