Of course as is the nature of You Tube you're going to get a fair share of arm chair pilots. Here is my two cents.....The right gear hit first in a nose down attitude striking the forward section of the wheel. A rather heavy plane for such a hot nose down landing on one wheel. Do doubt it was simply to much impact for the mount to handle. One has got to find that balance of slow landing speeds without the tip stall usually associated with war birds. Drag the tail a bit more next time.
Aww that sux bro, why did the gear fold anyways? I'd love to have one of those Ziroli kits, have been kit building way back but have been an ARF'er for the last ten years now, how difficult are ziroli kits to build anyways. Nice mustang btw, that landing mishap was okay and coulda been worse. glad to see it stopped on the grass in one piece. a beautiful Mustang nonetheless!
