Cool vid...

What does dead stick exactly mean? Looked like he had bingo fuel or flameout.. No power. Stick did seemed to work.

Even if you have a flameout, the EPU will still power the FLCS system.

Dead stick is a phrase originating from WWI, they used to call the wooden props a stick, if the engine failed you were dead stick.....
