#Wing fold switch changes aerodynamics when wingtips are broken

While trying to do wingless tunnel runs I noticed that I could only pull 2.5-3Gs while I had my wings folded up, but as soon as I flipped the switch I could pull full Gs again, is this intended behavior?

This is probably a bug

weird, so the wing-fold switch doesn't have a g-limiter built in then?

#

This happens when wingtips are broken off?

quick rover
#

yes

so the bug is: Wing fold switch changes aerodynamics when wingtips are broken

maybe not aerodynamics, but definitely max-Gs (which could be a byproduct of lift not being calculated correctly)

It's probably aero since there aren't any changes to g limits. I think I remember that at least on the 26, the wing fold component will disable some wing surface area when folded, and that part may not be deactivated when the tips break

that would explain it, flipping the switch "activates" the broken wing-tips

The 26 has always been more maneuverable than it should with wingtips broken off and the switch down

Iirc I pointed this out ~4 months ago

With the 45 it breaks off the whole thing right?
