Please see the following link. I've had several people send me this,
but
if you look closely you'll notice that when he flops upright onto the
runway, the plane appears to have little mass. And that's the main
problem with this: If you lost your wing at several thousand feet of
altitude, how do you account for f=m*a? No light GA aircraft has a
power/weight ratio above 1, or even close, so how to prevent
accelerating
toward the ground (gravity) with no lifting surface to bring to bear on

the problem? There are a number of utube videos showing actual model
aircraft losing their wings, with the pilots recovering in a similar
manner to this video, but then they do have power/weight greater than 1.
