same here Of all the times i have taken some battle damage in the strut or any part of the wing really it is only a matter of time before wind and G force tear it the rest of the way off I can only think of maybe a few times where i saved it long enough to get to the ground and survive

OH and that reminds me i did have one really good one I was proud of where i was in a Niueport 17 and got clipped by another plane during a fur ball, the hit was a glancing blow that bent my fuselage behind the pilot in such a way that the plane was very unstable. I was over the front and managed to dive out of danger, worried the whole time that at any moment it would crack in half but then leveled out and managed to gently coax her all the way back to the field low and slow the whole way

I ground looped it on landing but i walked away any way the point was it felt like a reasonable response to the damage and except for the initial dive out of the fray (which had me worried for sure) i was as gentle as a kitten with her to keep the damage from getting worse felt very accurate to me based on what i could see visually damage wise

Any way i digress I think it is fixed as i have not seen what is in the no wing flight vid duplicated but i will keep my eye out
