Oh I fully understand what is possible and have goofed around with the hobby. The uneven wings and the top one flopping around does not look promising though. Besides that was only the skeptic part of me. The parent part was much more annoyed.

I don't think the plane is for real, but I think the parent was teaching his kid some life lessons:


1. Never trust a delivery driver to deliver your amazon stuff on time or in one piece as all they will do is piss on your parade.
2. The plane was not for flying and the next lesson on the birds and the bees also has nothing to do with flying.
3. Remotes always stop working when you most want them to work.
4. Never trust cheap batteries when the action is hotting up!
5. Hanging out on the sidewalk only leads to trouble.
