Heheheheh It’s fake.

This is perhaps the 3rd or 4th video I’ve seen of a 3D R/C aircraft have the wing fail yet land with little to no damage. This video just has some good editing with a real Red Bull aircraft.

I’ve had a wing come loose in flight, not fall all the way off and I landed safe. I’ve had a midair collision with another RC and landed with the wing held on with a rubber band. It’s exhilerating.

The large scale 3D style RC’s have lots of control surface movement and it’s amazing what they can do. What is shown in the video is a knife-edge manuever with one wing. The RC’s have plenty of power to pull it off buy a real Extra 300 would not be so lucky.

Intertaining video, but it’s fake. Here is one of the first “wing missing” landings in RC land
