1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted August 3, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Well, if one would state it's a real full size airplane with a pilot in it that lost its wing and still landed, then yes,it's a fake. Anyways, very cool video to watch ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluBear Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Fake, although one could say inspired by a true story... Zlin wing Structural Failure Report - Neil Williams http://www.aerobatics.org.uk/repeats/zlin_wing_failure.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 4, 2014 2. Administrators Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 It never fails to amaze me how pilots seem to be able to ride out this sort of situation with aplomb. Although that might be because the ones who panic are dead. Thanks for that article Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted August 4, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 What a story! "(...) The ability to fly over an airfield with crash facilities is absolutely essential. (...)" lol... so ... "dry" ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 4, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 My favourite bit: Also the supply of adrenalin was getting rather low by this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kira Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Keep in mind with the OP, it's no "ordinary" airplane. This is a high performance (wayyy high performance by the legal definition) aerobatic aircraft, with "just enough wing to get the engine off the ground" so to speak. Point is, it's all engine. Of course you can hang it on its prop with that many horses under the hood. It's managing the torque that's the trick. A bit of debunking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvBep7-gi5s#t=86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
