Its more the devil you know, I know I can make an approach from out there and pretty much nail it every time. I've managed east west landings before but not without spoilers and a STIFF headwind. The required approach angles all involve too much nose down, even if I take the bent approach up from the stormwater drain its just too slippery. I was on the backfoot both yesterday and today being stuck with a compromised radio setup, only got myself to blame there.

I take positives from this, I'll learn to fix the damage and beef up the nose and then improve the cooling properly by cutting some proper intakes in, I've decided to give the SK version of the same motor a go.
