Every plane has a velocity at which point aerodynamic forces overcome structural integrity, and structural failure is the end result. On a plane like Aerobird, which is all foam, it doesn’t take that much to over stress it, and it looks like you found that point.
Hard lesson to learn, but a lot of us have been there – done that.
Hogflyer
The aerobird Xtreme actually has NO foam at all. The wing is plastic with plastic fillings of some sort with a metal rod to prevent it from breaking.
Only ONE v-tail fin snapped off due to my "pro tail mod" I underestimated it's durability It has a 55" wing span BTW
and no. I'm a perfectly capable flyer. *Or so says the $200 flight sim at my local hobby shop
I guess the simulator doesn't cover wings snapping in half
