HIROBO Freya - Sceadu - Shuttle > THIS is luck!!!!

I was flying my 15 year old shuttle ZX ( modified with an OS 46)
I was happily flying in my local football field, and on top of a 360 stall turn .......suddenly silence! the glow plug came loose and the engine died.
I`m just starting to do autos but this was one of the forced ones that you cant choose the aproach , angle and speed.......you are there and that`s it . Either you land it or you land it.

Well! in lack of options i just Auto vertically and prayed to avoid trees.
To my surprise, it landed between the trees, rocks and other objects with just 2 feet to spear all around, Zero damage. I was rrrreeeaaaaallly lucky

WOW!

In the southeastern US we have an old adage that seems to fit many times: "Sometimes even a blind hog finds an acorn," which means every one has some great luck once in a while. Congratulations on your good luck and I'm sure there was some pilot skill involved also.

On a dog sled team, if you're not the lead dog, the view never changes.

Why can't that happen to me?

Nice save!

I made a mistake once, but I was wrong?

Thanks for the replies. Its nice to see there is someone out there that actually reads what I have to say.

We also have a saying in Mexico, it more or less goes:
“when it`s not your turn to go, it won’t happen to you, even if you put yourself in the middle
and
when it`s your turn to go, it will happen to you, even if you run away”

(it doesn`t sound as nice in English. the rime and the simplicity gets lost in the translation, but that`s the idea)
