After receiving criticism for your style of post and your moral character as well, you simply responded with an explanation and a sincere apology. Not only that, after realizing that ?perhaps? this was not the most popular way to approach problem solving on this forum, that you would change your ways in the future. These things indeed take a great deal of moral character! So, I tip my hat to you, good job, and have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Rick Meyer

Great job keeping an A model upright in that soft sand. Shows that you landed it right.

It looks like you have the Anti-splat nosegear mod. Does it have witness marks that look like it may have hit the gear on this landing?

It is good to finally to hear the solution to the problem, and it was a bit frustrating, but lets be fair here guys, Paul Dye has posted a puzzler like this in the past. Perhaps a different implementation as he stayed with the posts, but the same basic idea.

That or because it is a tipup-slider taildragger with a nosewheel.

Gee Bill, Is it the tail dragger nose dragger thing again? I guess I have time to decide on which side of the coin I will fall. Nose dragging or tail dragging :D

I do admit that with posts like this, my list of what to watch out for is growing.

If you make the wrong choice John, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore.

So true, that.

Well...... I suppose we will have to see.

It is good to know that there is a wealth of information available on the site and many who are ready to reach out to offer assistance. I feel, that I have a ways to go just starting out, but will continue browsing through the posts, especially on those items that impact my stage of construction. That and photos of flying aerospace vehicles. :D

Thanks for the reveal! Nice to know what happened. Just save the puzzlers for the 3rd half of the show ....

Whew !
 
I?m also about 8 hours into phase 1 with my 6A with duel Pmags.
I don?t think I?ve ever read a thread so fast in my life.
A very nice outcome that could have ended so much worse.:)

This can't be stressed enough!

Again, please rewire your P-mags!

All aircraft without a dual buss/dual battery system have a single point of failure. I'm pretty sure the documentation does not require or suggest dual electrical busses if installing 2 Pmags, as most other EI systems recommend.

I might add that this is not the first time I've heard of lost power to Pmags causing the eng to quit after landing or on final.
