Video (from life?) of plane landing, with one wing.

Apologies if this is well known here, the person who showed me is a MS FS fan, but I don't know whether he follows forums.

When the wing comes off, the plane rolls the wrong way for a full size aircraft. Being a model aircraft with a massive power:weight ratio, it can overcome the loss of one wing!

As for how the video is made, well I believe it's a very clever example of video overlays plus chromakey (bluescreen) effect. You see (1) A video of a model aircraft with the wing coming off; (2) Then for the landing, that video is overlain against a separate video of the background. The bumpy landing helps blur the transition to (3) where the bluescreen effect is used to show a pilot, and people running toward the aircraft.

Very clever!
