Went out to get some fights in Sunday. The weather was perfect 60 degrees with a 5mph wind. I get to the field before anyone else so I decide to take my N5c up to get it tuned for the day. That lasted about 30 seconds when the engine stalls out while inverted. I got it back around but didn't have enough altitude to get the head speed needed for an auto. Landed it a little hard in some tall grass. after inspection it appears that all it needs is a new set of landing gear and I should be good to go (at this point I didn't know the motor was locked up yet). I called the girlfriend to have her bring me a set from home (a 30min drive). After I get it all back together I get to the flight line and try turning the engine but my starter doesn't budge. Hopefully the weather holds out a little longer so I can still get one more good day of flying in this year. I guess its time to put a OS 55hz-r in it. Hopefully everyone else had a better weekend than I did.
