So I came up with an original idea: show me a plane that can fall from 6000+ feet up, survive, and still be functional. I will personally test the entries, and comment how they performed. Entries close on september 20th, so you have a week to enter.[Hard mode: no airbrakes!] Prizes are as follows: 1st place-5 upvotes+custom made aircraft. 2nd place-5 upvotes. 3rd place-3 upvotes. Good luck!
