With those kind of trees it seems that if there was any forward motion they would have got torn off.<br />Sure looks like a flat spin right into the trees.

I was under the impression that a small plane will glide like a glider. <br /><br />Do you have to maintain a certain speed to keep the plane in the air?<br /><br />Will it only glide if it stays above what is the stall speed? Say it stalls at 70 mph. If the motor fails and it falls below that speed even though it is in level flight will Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335527608179824295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060827553081940333.post-7821732787283336452021-11-12T04:30:43.466-05:002021-11-12T04:30:43.466-05:00Wing isn't crushed or torn open and leakage af...Wing isn't crushed or torn open and leakage after the aircraft settles in the leaf litter gets absorbed.
