yeah ok, I cant speak french so how the hell did he get the wings to open durring the free fall?? It didnt really look as though he could just grab them and lockem into place. also, how does he land? i didnt see the end of the movie cause it stopped streaming. knucking futz. plain and simple

there are levers that make the wings lock into place. the same lever/motors close them back up and he parachuted to a landing with the wings all folded up neatly on his back.
