You CAN do dead stick landings in a 701...- In fact you must practice. pr
actice, practice this type of landings until you master them.-- Is impo
rtant to get used to the drag and low weight...---
-First you (practically) dive the airplane at 50 miles indicated (engine
at idle), yes the 701 is no sail plane.- Be ready to use the power in cas
e you level too high, is better at first tries than too low, of course :-)
The level time is short, then you beguin to pull gently but constant and fi
rm the elevator to keep the flair as close as possible to the strip, until
you touch down, then keep the front wheel up until you beguin loosing eleva
tor authority (to slow airflow) then gently help the wheel to touch down...
- No brakes needed to stop :-)

Brady,
The only fatality I'm aware of happened in New Mexico.- According to what
I've read, it was a new sport pilot who was buzzing his house and got a win
g
too low.
One of the important things that people like me who are transitioning from
GA to LSA need to work on is short final.- These little light airplanes w
ill
get away from you if you aren't careful.- I don't think ultralight pilots
have the same problems because they are used to bouncing around when flying
and landing....
If in doubt, go around.- The 701 will get you out of trouble if you don't
insist on landing when you should go around.- This is not a Cessna that y
ou
glide down to the runway.

Just forgot something,- I use 15=AA flaps when I have the landing spot (s
trip) secure, and keep 55 -60 mph.- Helps me a lot- to gentle the flair
...-- maybe because the density at 5,000 ft ASL. here.-
Probably with the engine off (prop stop) will be less drag, but I just dont
feel yet as trying "the real thing" (engine off landing) on porpouse, plan
e is still too pretty to rebuild :-)- :-)
Knock wood...
