To break, or not to break, a plane

When someone breaks an aeroplane, people love to watch. Especially when it’s intentional. Purple Avenger has a spectacular video of a wing destruction test on the Boeing 777. If, on the other hand, it’s your own plane, you don’t want to break it. Especially not when it’s a two-metre model, piloted at 70km/h, from a moving car, in traffic, through a 4km tunnel.
