Does anyone recall the incident which occurred to the late Neil Williams, in which the wing bolts on one side of his Zlin failed, causing the wing to start folding upwards? IIRC, he had the presence of mind to fly inverted, to minimise any further folding, then roll upright just prior to landing, saving both himself and the aircraft. A remarkable feat of airmanship and flying by any standards.
