Good for a giggle. It's fake though. I think it's an add by/for the same people that did one with an aerobatic plane landing successfully after losing a wing in flight.

I saw that one too. The plane flew knife-edge till the last possible moment, then landed on the wheels.

My :BS: detector went off when I saw the one with the plane. Lots of problems with the power-to-weight ratio needed to make that work. Works really well with a 1/3 scale RC plane running a chainsaw motor though.

You mean to tell me that not everything I see on the internet is true? BLASPHEMY!

Mine did as well. I used to fly RC planes, and I could never make one of them do that, let alone a real plane.

^I never could get one to do that either. One of the tricks for getting an RC plane to do stuff like that is to install gyros like those used to stabilize RC helicopters.

yeah, yeah, its fake. You guys are so rational. It would be pretty cool if that were real though.

I think I'll try it this weekend. Video to follow.
