So I was testing out some changes I made to my TwinStar, and was flying LOS to see how she handled. The CG felt very tail-heavy, so as I brought it around to land to adjust the CG, my apparently piss-poor depth perception got the better of me. I could have sworn I was closer than I was, and thought for sure I'd make the turn.
