I've had 3 'near-death experiences' with this plane. Maiden flight was super tail-heavy, stalled on landing and fell in, ass-end first, straight down. Luckily, they were a few days delayed in mowing the weeds due to rain, so the 5' tall weeds caught it and left me only with grass-stains. Got into the alpha-lock and watched it very slowly descent, nose-high, no matter what inputs I gave, into other brush. No damage other than bent ordnance. Third one was brand new K-55 blew up and she dead-sticked in. Somehow landed on her feet and again, no damage whatsoever.
I absolutely LOVE this plane and have another NIB!
