"inverted flight plow-in" [:@] that makes me cringe! Be glad you just had a Pulse to loose, one of the guys at the field last weekend had JUST repaired a Hanger 9 P51 PTS model (the "Progressive Trainer System" that runs ~$350-$400). The FIRST day he flew it (and he's a fairly experienced pilot with 7 or 8 planes) he inverted it on a low level pass and then suffered "brain freeze" and left a 40' plowed up section of dirt that looked like you could plant peanuts in! Yep, the good old "down = up" thing bit him SQUARE in the backside and he spent a bucket of cash getting it all back together and operational again!

Don't feel too bad. This apparently happens alot more than most people will admit

I'll bet it looked kinda cool though !
