I have not heard of a plan's tail kissing it nose before. I vaguely remember from a past life, many years ago, a photo in one of the model airplane magazines of two winding power into a Wakefield(?) type model. The photographer snapped the shot at the exact moment (not the right moment) when the rubber split. The middle of the bird was a cloud of tissue and balsa shrapnel.
The magazine that had a monthly centerfold of peanut size was always interesting. Ah, the things we dream of!
