HU&W Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The wings still look like they're in excellent condition. I'm sure they'll have the plane rebuilt and flying within the next couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky_king Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I thought that was a BFM tactic. Like a lizard that can shed its tail to distract a predator. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milchstrasse Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Last week: Who needs two wings when you have high thrust to weight, and lots of rudder authority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
