:shock: :wtf: :shock: :wtf: :shock: :wtf:

I have never seen these things Stall, they always seem to have good speed and I have seen them fly... But! What I have seen these things do is when buzzing by over the land, doing flybys 4 ft from the ground, they may sink fast and nose da Fly into the earth, that they sink out at low altitude when doing a fly by (showing Off) I guess if they wanted to they can call that a stall, aerodynamically speaking the Fly does come to a sudden stop, not for the best, but it does stop.

Thanks Al.

To everyone else, this topic is the merged result of two similar topics. So if it seems like there's some duplication of posts it's because all of the original posts were preserved in the merge.

Can anyone post a link to a report on this accident?

Also, what was the outcome for the people involved?

Thanks.
