Default (Sig SE tail-touch) I Did It. Got Pics!

I've mentioned the one maneuver that I tried with my SE that resulted in a crash - its the low inverted pass which ends with the plane tapping its rudder on the ground, then speeding away.

The last time I tried it, I came in too slow. Tapped the tail but had very little airspeed with which to recover... down in a cloud of dust. Knocked the rudder loose and broke the motor mount.

I pulled it off today. With an audience, no less!

Here's a shot of the newly-scuffed rudder...


I'm never doing that again! Once is enough
