Default Re: can the wing be separated in the sky?

I didn't see anything too roughly on that flight that I would have expected the wings to separate themselves. it looks plenty strong, but I want to see full-throttle "fast rolls" on 3D rates, then a full throttle wall.

wow that is like the worlds worst commercial I have ever seen.
not to bash the plane or anything but come one man the suspence in the last video was just to much. hehehe send me one and I will make you a video. heck you want the wings to fold I can do that. I am thinking a full throttle blender will do the trick and for landing gear I am thinking a terminator with the spoilers all the way up. that is like a 30 mph belly flop.
sleepy do not let him post any more videos till we see some carnage. heck my eyes hurt from trying to read the words any way.


Good flying though

Push into a full throttle blender then we'll see if the wing separates.

I bet that my seven year old son can separate the wings in flight . and by flying the crap out of the plane ,not crashing one.

Yeah, harrier rolls were 85% of that video, and I know of ZERO wing failures during a harrier roll - no real load on the wings in that attitude. I saw some fast rollers, too, but that really only tests the servos' power as well as the servo mounts. High speed and high G's are what test a wing's strength.

I am sorry but Mark L. makes that video look like nothing.
Got to see him in action at the airshow and he blows the socks off this video.
