Hey,How would you land a pitts on an unprepared surface like a field? I made up my mind and came up with sideslipping into the ground do let the wing absorb the energy. Does anyone have better ideas or even actual experience? Hopefully this will never happen to anyone but i fly better when i have a plan b.Thanks for your thoughts...Christian
