    @Thelaw11 eh it handles better, but that's not too important. I'm glad to see someone else doing something similar. If you want the original and less fragile version, it's here, by the way. Thank you for the vote!

    @General360 hahaha nice. I guess you've seen the bird strike tests too? I always found those pretty entertaining. This one gets bonus points for both slow motion and Ride of the Valkyries

    @General360 this break test is pretty fun. But yes, you're totally right, some flex is unavoidable, especially with larger wings. Just not like this, hopefully haha
