Yo,
That vid that bobthebuilder posted was CGI, but here is the real thing, although in radio control form.

Would an aircraft like an Edge, Extra, MX have the power up front to really do that?

With my limited flying knowledge i would say it is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! The remaining wing would still be causing lift, therefore the plane would spiral like a kork screw.
