Like I said, I know this conceptually, but seeing them deflect THAT much under normal take off and landing loads (and flapping around too, check out the video), I wonder how much they will flex in a bad storm (will wingtips touch each other and start singing YMCA ? ;-)
I know smarter people have calculated all this, and I've flown a glider once, I know it's a good thing, but sheesh, it looks..... weird !!!
