plane losing a wing

Saw the vid at work but cant get it home. Amazing a wing comes off a stunt plane and he looks to all on the ground like he is Fecked but he pulls it out and flies it (dont ask me how) with just sheer power of the engine and using the rear control surfaces until he can land it. Which he does on its wheels. Dont know if it is for real but if it is the guy must have stained his cockpit seat something fierce.
Will try to find it online, unless someone else has a link.

fake as but impressive vid
Quote from a similar thread on another forum faf
It's not real
You can tell it's not real cause of:
A) the dicky things the people are saying in the back ground
B) the landing, if the planes traveling fast enough to fly on only one wing its going to take a hell of a lot longer than 3seconds to stop
C) planes don't 'bounce' like that when they land. They either land, or crash
If you still think its real, you've won a special prize, only for people who aren't gullible whatsoever. Just need to send me $1000 for postage and handling

They proved years ago with supersonic flight that wiongs arent required for extreme speed with the x series of rocket planes, but personally I would prefer wings on any plane I fly in.

VERY similar to this one, but some find the first vid realistic for some reason

Very simular. But one is just a little remote control plane, the other is actually a real plane.
It would of been good to see the reaction on his face after he opened the canopy.

There's lots of debate weather it is or not. Personally i think it's pretty clever weather it's fake or not.
