I landed a plane up side down while trying a low inverted pass at our clubs annual airshow. The club president had the local ambulance run out with a stretcher and bring my plane back in. Was pretty funny for the crowd and I got a kick out of it as well.

I've occasionally said " Would anyone like to buy a slightly used airplane?" , Especially if it was mine. Usually I wait for the pilots reaction before I say anything though, as I have a BIG mouth and I don't want to hurt someones feelings.

if you just put your brand new kit into the ground first flight collect all the pieces put them back in the box and send it back to the supplier with a letter saying you want another plane because the one you recieved must have been dropped/stepped on at the warehouse.

All these comments... brought back memories. Years ago I had a Midwest Sweet Stick. Boy was it sweet. I had the sucker dialed in, but good. So good I had taken up the habit of flying inverted most of the time. Taking off, then snap to inverted. Coming in to land inverted, then snap at the last second.

As you can imagine I was flying pretty low inverted and doing high speed passes. It was pretty cool. One day.................

I got dumb thumbs, at FULL throttle, attempted to do a inside loop, instead of a outside loop, drove the sucker right into the ground. It didn't "roto-rooter" too well.
LOL. Man there almost nothing left. The only thing that was intact was the tail.

No engine, no servos, no reciever....... nothing. OK, OK, the wheels were OK.

I cut the shreds off the tail, and mounted it like a trophy on my hobby wall.
Inverted. Boy, I sure missed that plane. Once I got a Sweet Stick ARF, but it never flew like the original. When I built another plane, it flew so much better than the ARF, That I retired the ARF. That one is now hanging in my office....

You guessed it................. INVERTED.

If pilot is in good humor after the crash I (as the safety officer) say " all crashes have to be announced far enough in advance for members to get their video cameras, since you did not do that, this crash will not be allowed and you will have to do it over"
My own crash motto is "If you are going to crash make it spectacular and do it IN FRONT of a crowd" at least you should get applause.
