Pace nice video. Would he stall if he lowered the nose?
if he lowered the nose probably not If he put in the same control inputs as flying the right way up yes.
obviously a stall is dependant on AOA not whether you push the nose up or down but in this situation if he pushed forwards he would climb and increase AOA if he pulled back the opposite.
But upside down he would get a very good view of the tyres and as such would not have to sit there waiting for the aircraft to sink onto the runway but would know when the tyres were about to touch.

so could be a new technique for precise flying it on the other option a redesign of the undercarriage so the wheels rotate automatically to align with the runway regardless of crab.
Then you could land in a crab situation with the crab Je jest
