| 1335864 | 2013-04-08 04:55:00 | This is pretty old and has been discussed on various forums and was found out to be a fake. :) |

| 1335865 | 2013-04-08 05:21:00 | It would be fake, unless my understanding of flight entirely flawed. The lift generated from the single wing would cause him to spin uncontrollably across the longitudinal axis. No doubt about it. In a light + powerful plane (one that's able to "hover" vertically) you could possibly arrest your decent and slow your fall to earth. Very unlikely/boarderline impossible though since you'd have to end up in the right orientation purely by luck. |

| 1335866 | 2013-04-08 08:23:00 | That was a fake but several years ago a famous English aerobatic pilot whose name escapes me at the moment was flying a Zlin and saw one wing starting to fold up. Thinking quickly he rolled the aircraft inverted and flew it to the ground like that. At ground level he rolled the aircraft upright and got it on the ground before the wing folded up again. For the pilots amongst us it had to be rolled in one direction to keep the wing in place. Cool head there. | tut (12033) | ||
