Wait! You said break instead of brake!
Splendid
bloody awesome, what would flexible wings do in engagements though? do they produce more lift? speed? maneuverability? this is interesting, i need to find information!
This is super cool! Love how it looks when the wing flexes
Agree 100% with @Epicfail
