A tiny 2 seater plane.
pull up the entire time during takeoff.
tap brakes on landings.
can still knife edge into the ground at 300mph and most of the plane will survive

    @Horton65 to save weight and keep the plane an ultra light (which in my lore have much looser restrictions), the tail was made way too short, and thus pilots must hold "pitch up" to get the plane airborne. However, these issues are compensated for by the easy to control stalls, a favorite feature of bush pilots.

    Cool little airplane. The empennage is just a bit too short though. Makes ground ops nearly impossible without ground looping. But still a neat plane.
