This gives a whole new meaning to landing on (a) wing and a whole lot of prayer......

That’s not an air-racer. That’s an acrobatic flyer.

I'm not an expert, but I'll wager it's real. (And I've met the guy who probably designed that plane--that's why I'm betting).

Yes, I didn't mean to make it look like you altered the title.

Private pilot here....not that it means a whole lot.

It looks like an RC model to me. At the very end it goes off screen and the real plane comes back into view.

As soon as a plane looses a wing, the other wings’ lift will torque the plane into a very fast roll. This one actually rolled (sort of) in the wrong direction.

Then watch the funny hop on landing. Its an RC

Good job making the clip though.

Mod. if you want to pull this, you won’t hurt my feelings....but then I am a conservative and according to the left I don’t have feelings.....

It's a very nicely edited fake. A nice piece of RC flying though. There's no way that a full size plane could land on it's tail feathers like that and not take considerable damage, even if it is stressed for +10 -10 G's. Just goes to show you how you can cheat normal aerodynamic rules when you have enormous amounts of excess engine power and torque.

According to the pilot, it was real. There was a post on FR a few days ago about it.

I'll see if I can find the link.

Never mind. See they found new evidence (post 15). Was a cool bit of edit. These are things I fear if Obambi gets into office. The MSM is going to do things like these and we’ll never get to learn the truth.
