BTM, I wasn't trying to diss you, man. I do not attempt harrier landings, well, that often that is. I have had two power-off landing that turned into that. But, the plane took it ok. I did have to straighten the tail gear when it did.

I am by no means a pro, and keep my flying at least two mistakes high. And with this plane at 3D rates and no tip stall tendancy, that is about 20 feet high.

I agree the elevator could be hosed with a hard contact with the ground, and if you are into that sort of thing, definately reinforce it with CF or sheeting.

This plane could easily suffor an additional 6 oz of strenthing for reinforcement, without a noticable flight performance hit.
