Damn polyester.... I remember 'back in the day' having an inopportune flame out and descending in a flat level attitude from altitude with full up elevator applied and the F16 not stalling and pancaking in and bouncing like a spring! made a mess of landing gear but I actually was able to repair and fly it again!!!! moral is I guess polyester at least has plenty give in it [:@]
