I agree......it's too bad it's fake, if it was real, that's the guy I'd want to teach me to fly!

No doubt Hiker. Was really well done. Then again I was unsure about "hog zilla" too.
This is a vid of the F15 flown by an Israeli pilot with one wing. Some of it is pieced together vids but is taken from "history channel" Last of it would make sense to it being possible.

Wow!! Thats amazing....thanks for the link Dan. I had no ideal that they laid out cables on runways.

Re: Flying MBs
Wow!!! Very cool vid, thanks Dan!!!
I guess the moral of the story is that if your plane can fly fast enough, it'll just rocket through the sky and it's OK to lose a wing!
On a side note, I remember reading about a guy who built a plane and the last thing anyone heard him say before he took off for his last flight was, "Let's see what this thing can really do today". It turned out that the plane he built wasn't recommended for acrobatical manuevers and when he tried his thing up there, he lost his wings and crashed. But to lose a wing and make it safely back done.......that guy deserves a medal!

There was a ultra-light crash here in Tucson a little while back right near my sisters house. He clipped some power lines and knocked the electricity to my sisters house.
It looks like the drug cartels are using ultra lights to bring there drugs in the U.S. now. They saw this guy cross the border but then loss track of him until he crashed.

Wow Fair. Great article, thanks. I was trying to think of ways to defray building costs. (kidding!) Have to admire the ..dunno. "You know how to fly, yes?....."
Did you read some of the comments below? Some were very funny. A lot sad too.
Also gives another good point, point to the inflatable platform boat/MB. a lil bounce. That 10 $K kit is looking the way to go. Gonna wait until I take the introductory class, hang gliding to ask this one though!

Re: Flying MBs
Now just have to learn to fly and come up with an extra $10K or so. lol
Built a RC model out of a 10$ toysR us car. (toy store) Won't fly and have to redo it. Is wood and not enough engine for the weight.
LOL Mile! Every time I watch that vid, I start doing the middle aged white guy toe tap. When the bow lifts out of the water it turns into full fledged chair dance with goose bumps.

Re: Flying MBs
learn how to fly?! It's like learning how to ride a bicycle, you just gotta strap in and take off! Sure you MIGHT 'fall off' or some alarmists would say 'plunge' but unlike a bike it'll only be once and wont hurt for half as long!... one hopes anyway.......
Thats where natural talent comes into play...and is rather crucial...i suggest you get some hours on flight simulator if you wanna be a wimp!
What would the wright brothers say!

My version of that is it will hurt, but not for long. unless your on fire on the trip down.
The Wright brothers built a wind tunnel before trying! snork
