I am not referring to ground speed... 10-11 is airspeed. (which is why I
found it relevant)

Depends on your definition of homebuilts.
Some of the MacCready human powered craft were 10 to 11 MPH.

Of couse if you define it as ground speed there is no trick at all in
getting negative ground speed, just fly into a head wind strong enough.
I vaguely recall seeing a report somewhere, somewhen where someone
actually landed backwards.
