Did you know that if you have your engine off before a belly landing, you don't get a prop strike? Surprised me!

~S~ Ivan...just a thought...but don't try to fly with your engine turned off!!!! Sorry...just couldn't resist.....MM :icon_lol:
 
Actually my test here was a goof up. I was using my son's computer to test stall characteristics and didn't realise that with his "Invincible" turned on, a prop strike simply doesn't happen. Can restart. Cannot take off because the friction is too high.

I was just wondering if you were maybe "belly landing" a Zero :icon_lol:

Cheers gents :ernae:
 
Just a little thing i enjoy doing is with a multi-engined type, I switch off one or more engines, do a vertical climb for the prop to stop and then fly home on severly reduced power......makes you very wary of any turns, landing speed etc.
 
Hi Womble55,

Will try the undercarriage idea. I turned off "invincible" on my sons computer right after I figured out what was happening. I also needed invincible off in order to check collision bubbles.
