    Oh Crap Moment, caught on film!

    Flying my Dynam WACO, this happened! Fortunately, I fly beside a hay field, I was able to bring it in slow and let it stall onto some tall grass. No damage to the plane, still looking for the wheel;-)

      Yup, that song came into my head too!

      What's funny is, I didn't see it fall off and didn't even notice it was missing until I was nearly back on the ground. Had to throttle up and go around while I decided what to do.
      Watching the video later is when I realized it had captured the moment that sneaky wheel abandoned the plane.


      Fortunately, MRC had new landing gear in stock, so I already have new gear on the plane.
