2014 Precious Metal Deadstick after engine failure

During a practice session this year we had a fuel delivery problem and the engine shut down stone cold around pylon 3. The Griffon propeller is notorious for creating huge drag if the engine quits and the propeller was subsequently feathered after the 5 G pull-up off the course. PM was returned safely to earth thanks to this system installation and flew again two days later after a carburetor change.

The gyro stabilized camera mount was being tested on this flight, and unfortunately tumbled, but most of the experience was captured.
