Say you were out in the bush or whatever. I think I remember seeing something about a guy essentially making wings out of duct tape in a pinch.
It all depends on how fast you are flying. At 70kts you could probably trim it out and fly just fine. At 270kts that bent elevator will become a handful. Bush pilots tend to fly slow.
