Default video of destruction during first engine run

Hi,
I'm trying to discourage someone from doing the same and looking for some old video that used to be easy to find.
Years ago I saw at least a couple of videos of engine runups without wings attached that ended up destroying the project. I think one was a Lancair/glasair fiberglass type and the other an RV. Just not enough torsional stability or weight/mass without the wings on to keep things from getting completely out of hand. Remember those? Please send me the links if you can find them!

thx!

The Lancair wadded up because the gear collapsed out from under it.
