Great Planes Cherokee ARF - Video 2 - Landing

Second part of my Cherokee. Had a bad landing. There was nothing at the end of the runway that could have caught the nose gear, except for grass. It forced the pant into the fuse and bent the gear slightly back. The second landing had the same effect, a complete nose over. I kept it on the runway for the third landing. I guess that this particular wheel pant and nose gear is bad news for a grass field, so I will have to remove the pant if I can't keep it on the runway. I lowered the idle as low as possible and it appears to be slow enough to land that way.

were you using the flaps on this landing?

@Deadshot1130 I was using flaps for later landings. However, even with flaps this baby is fast. I had a difficult time flying it, it just does not slow down. I eventually crashed it in a fun fly.
