Hello Nic.

We did make pictures and the sky was clear blue.
We were talking about, it would be nice to have some top view pictures, views from above, but we didn’t have a high ladder (LOL).
No problem I said to my brother I will make a low altitude inverted flight-by with medium speed so you can make the pictures. Later we will turn the picture upside down to show.
Of course you know what happened then, exactly in front of us in the first passage the engine did stop.

I was lucky also, the field next to the airfield I have to land in, was ploughed, so coarse/loose? (soft)
I did not want to touchdown inverted, because of the engine, so I did try to make a half roll in the last seconds.
After some more as the first quarter the earth could touch to the wing.

The fuselage was broken in two parts near the wing bolts you can see on the picture. The wing bolts were oké!
The only damage was the broken fuselage, balsa push bars of elevator and rudder and the scratch in the belly pan (I tought!)

I did mount the front and backside of the fuse on the bench in right position and rebuild the splintered section.

After all was repaired again , (and a data logger installed), I did want make the next flights.
I was loading the plane in my car, by coincidence I discovered one of the dowels was fractured inside the LE, I simple could take the front side out of the LE of the wing.
I did drill the old part of the dowel out of the wing and did replace new one. This all was 1,5 years ago.

I am working on the dowels again and make the construction for a “centre line pylon” for video transmitting, that was the picture in the other thread of airbusdrvr a few weeks ago.
