Auto Credit Based on Insertname's Face-PLAM!

This is one of my favorite STOL planes i have made!!!!! I have landed this going backwards! Please enjoy this crazy little bug! It was built for a competition that doesnt exist yet lol! For take-off: just touch the throttle. For landing: turn everything off. Use full flaps and trim, close your eyes and fall asleep. Cheers guys! -Jim

    Just slow down and pitch up. If you do it right (with flaps and trim) the plane will fall backwards and if you are low enough to the ground, you can land going backwards lol@AudioDud3
