Default RE: CAP 232 loses half of elevator.
Several years ago a couple of the local 'Hotshots' were having an 'Inverted Touch and Go' contest (very unofficial ).

The idea was to come in inverted and see who could touch their rudder to the ground and keep flying..

There were a number of successful runs and several that did a 'Touch and Stay'

- THE WINNER was declared when one fellow did a touch and go and LEFT his ENTIRE RUDDER, behind! [X(]

He then completed his circuit and landed without incident...

The only thing left of his vertical Stab was the 'Strake'
