Title: T-5 Provost suffers flameout then belly lands
Post by: DominicM on April 07, 2018, 01:19:37 AM
It was going well until a flameout coming down the runway...fortunately John executed a masterful belly landing.

This model is built from a Jetwelt kit (no longer made as they are sadly no longer in business). Powered by a G-Booster 160).

He didn't engage his Landing Gear to land on the grass

No and that was exactly the right thing to do. Unless you can execute a proper landing under power so you can flare the jet and land gently on its wheels my preference would be to belly land. You would rip the landing gear out otherwise.

Yes. The above was an observation, not a question. Good presence of mind nonetheless
