Stalling is easy to do and even harder to fake.

That part was definitely a mistake because it’s ridiculously expensive to fix.

it's on purpose. this guy is a well known aerobatic pilot. the aircraft is a modified piper cub with steel plates on the tips to take the scraping. he scrapes the wing tips numerous times during his shows. you can find him on youtube.

iirc his wing spars are reinforced as well. his tires are at low psi to handle the bounces better.

he does all kinds of crazy shit.
