Incident Details

October 12, 2012
Location of the incident: ,
Type of Incident:

I was returning to my launch site…aprox. 1.5 miles away at an altitude 450 agl when my engine suddenly stopped. I immediately started looking for a suitable landing site. I located an Alfalfa Field and started doing “S” turns to burn off altitude. Once I knew I had the field made I swooped in for a safe landing. Other than a few alfalfa sprouts between my toes it was a safe landing. Staying calm and having wherewithall contributed to this safe landing.
