Wheel up landings

hello All,

Just daydreaming away here. What about a wheel up landing? Just looking 
at two posters of elsa and yuro and the wheel seems to protrude a little 
---From the fuse and would minimise any wheel up damage(?) or will that mean 
a flapless landing and can NEVER happen. The propeller and wing tip might 
not come off to well but the main fuse should survive OK. I know that a 
blanik glider can be landed wheel up without any problems apart from a 
red face and a few groans from under the wing to lift it so the wheel can 
be put down.

Any comments?
