nothing 'Crash' about this!...just a professional at the very top of his game!...wonderful

First I thought they had faked it by letting the landing gear disappear per retouche.

But when he opens the door, you really see it's true.

This was a most perfect landing! He may not have even damaged the propellers!

Who needs the landing gear?

Want to see a short take off and landing? Here's the Fieseler Storch:

Someone doing his job well. Superb bit of flying.

 

Olham, I've got a flying model of the Storch which, the previous owner discovered, can also land unexpectedly. I'll get to repairing it one day.

[+Olham]

Would such a model have the same STOL attitudes as the real craft?

Yes indeed Olham. Exactly the same.

During the last war..my old man was in SOE...and was always amazed at the short takeoff and landings of the Lysander too

A more modern version of a STOL aircraft is the PZL Wilga. It will never win any beauty contests but it does the job of getting off and back down from the ground handily enough..

I'd like to see that, the RC Takes benefit of the huge wing area. However the STOL capabilities are due to the design of the flaps

 

The short landing is responsable for the repair job, you now face

 

Sooo theoretically short landings ARE possible . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ONCE

 

 

 

A scale model is "a scale model". It has the same control surfaces as a real one and behaves in the same manner. The repair job was actually the result of pilot error.
