This model is built from a Jetwelt kit (no longer made as they are sadly no longer in business). Powered by a G-Booster 160). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MdPyY9VH6w Title: Re: T-5 Provost suffers flameout then belly lands Post by: sanjayrai55 on April 07, 2018, 06:20:11 AM He didn't engage his Landing Gear to land on the grass

Unless you can execute a proper landing under power so you can flare the jet and land gently on its wheels my preference would be to belly land. You would rip the landing gear out otherwise.
