A radio-controlled (RC) aircraft has a wing lock and disconnect mechanism. The RC aircraft has a structural member and a wing that disconnects from a fuselage. The RC aircraft has a lock mechanism, a wing structural member recess, a fuselage structural member recess, a lock recess, and an aperture. The lock mechanism couples to the wing and is adapted to fit within the lock recess of the fuselage. The wing structural member receives the structural member. The fuselage structural members recess corresponds to the wing structural member recess. The lock recess receives the lock mechanism. The wing disconnects from the fuselage by unlocking the lock mechanism. The structural member fits within the wing structural member recess and the fuselage structural member recess.

Example embodiments include an aerial vehicle configured to establish a geo-fence. In particular, an aerial vehicle may include an inertial measurement unit, a GPS sensor, and vehicle controller circuitry that works together to establish a geo-fence based on an initial location. In an example embodiment, the aerial vehicle may establish a rectangular geo-fence and a wind direction based on received angular data, acceleration data, and location data. The rectangular geo-fence may include a minimum fence height, a maximum fence height, a fence length, and a fence width.
