2 1/2 wing flights
« on: August 04, 2010, 02:46:38 AM »
is there any one else that has down this u know just fly with 2 1/2 wings?! (typed this in kinda a hurry)

i flew a 190A5 with 2 1/2 wings just elevators and rudder (thankfully the direction in which the rotors turned was helpful until final aproch were i had to turn it off) i cant remember how exept i was fighting a P38 and somhow lost both my wings lol,a friendly then killed him right after he got my wings. still thinking i actually "had" 1 1/2 wing (the one on my left?) so i flew it to bout half a mile from feild then i realised holy crap i dont have any wings (then precided to call my squaddie to come check this out he didnt beleive me lol) needless to say i landed (with gears!) lol

EDIT: #1 i did have film just the computer the files were on the harddrive quit working #2 i think it was only my wingtips???

I've done this in a 262 before, turned too hard and snapped outer wings off, its fun as all hell (when perks aren't on the line)

I did it in a A-8 once, I split Sed or just dove out of the fight and when I pulled up the outer wings just popped off :D. Then a F4U I had recently shot up came after me but my squaddie killed him. With only 2 1/2 you don't have as much lift so on final I stalled and hit a tree  :rofl :cry.

Have a film somewhere where I landed an F4U with both wings half shot off and a pilot wound.  The flaming wreckage came to a halt on an ack pad and I got a "successful landing"...concrete is concrete, apparently.

262 is suprisingly easy with both tips missing.. just really need to plan ahead to get lined up  and stabilized on approach

done this with a 110, was easier than having 1 half wing.

B-25s just don't fly with a wingtip missing, sadly :(

Ta-152 just looks like a normal airplane when you lose 1/2 of each wing, still very flyable.

Was offline but my Corsair got half its right wing shot off yesterday by friendly  :headscratch: auto ack. Tried a perfect landing but hit the steel and careened into a 5 inch turret  :o But any landing you can walk away from.

P.S. on landing, I only damaged my engine and half of my left wing  :rofl :rofl :rofl

Nice flying!  :aok I've never been fortunate to lose both at a time, though  :lol
