Default RE: What's the strangest...

I have landed my 37% BME Ultimate in an INVERTED Elevator. Thats right, came out of a hover overheated, throttled up and it bogged. I was about 10' high and I knew I couldnt pull out. Leveled the wings inverted, gave full down elevator and chopped the throttle just before it sat down in the grass. Broke the tip of the prop and cracked the top(bottom at the time) wing at the tube slightly. Took about 1 hour to repair the small crack and replace the prop. I was back in the air the next day. 100% truth.
