Such an aweome and rugged little plane! Thanks

[@bird271828]

Landing gear retraction at 0:43 was neat👏👏👏👏

This Q300 is music to my ears!

[@ThomasJoseph-sq9jl]

Is the gear retracted with the wheels spinning? I thought it was common practice that brakes are activated before they get stored...
Either way, beautiful video!

Geez, that plane looks like it’s falling apart. 😮

[@nolanrussell518]

What parts fell off that plane?

[@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime]

@@nolanrussell518 The landing gear thing on the left side. Looks like it had a piece about to come off.😳
