Yes. But not until the rope snaps, or the pole breaks. Whichever comes first.

The plane flies, but it won't fly very well, or very long, 'cause the rope and/or pole that snapped will come flying forward and bang the hell out of the plane. They're extremely fragile when it comes to being hit with a solid object...
