  • Well lesson learned sometimes the hard way. I was getting use to using full flaps and landed it on the quick to avoid crashing into Johns Sweet Dually truck. It was a blind STOL landing which I luckily only broke a propeller and bent one main wheel. I had a propeller that fit at home and re-bent the wheel strait. So I was very lucky it was not more damage or that I hit John's Truck. Sometimes its better to be lucky than good.

    Wow it looked like a T Bone into the truck. Glad the damage was minimal but the lesson was great. So glad your SWS and John's truck are not damaged. Tug take care, thank you. Jeff in LA USA

    A scare - but thankfully very light damage. Glad it came out so well. Good flying - and I love your blue sky and wide open spaces. ( I agree about the position of the autos being an issue.)

      We have learned our lesson for sure. The blue sky heals the soul and we love all the space to fly. Thanks for watching and your kind words.

    Whew. Held my breath for a few seconds there. Glad damage was minimal Tugg. Another blue sky day I see you had there. Got to take advantage of that when you can. 👍

      I seen it was too low and was worried about hitting John's Truck. STOL landed it on the quick and got lucky I didn't hit that truck. AMEN. Thanks for watching and The SWS Turbo Timber lives to fly again.

    Luckily it wasn't too bad . Nice plane .
    I had a warranty issue with my 1.5 TT EVO but Horizon fixed me up . Love flying it .

      the 1.5 Evo TT is a great plane as well. The 2.0 Balsa TT is a great plane also however I need to get use to using Full Flaps to slow it down on landings. I rarely had to ever use full flaps till I got this plane. Thanks for watching.

      Oh I was very lucky I was at full flaps and was able to STOL land it quickly. The blind landing was what scared me because I was avoiding hitting John's Truck. I knew I flared it hard but still broke the prop and bent a wheel. Thanks for watching Randy.

      Well I call not hitting John's truck lucky, It was a blind STOL landing that broke a propeller and bent a main landing gear wheel No big deal but some would say it was a crash because damage were done, Thanks for watching,s
