There should be a "Guardian Angel" forum for this.

That's an old video. It's a model plane, not a real one. Still pretty cool.
 
Them stunt planes have such a good power to weight ratio they don't need wings. They can do some amazing things with them.

The person in it at the end sure looks real.

Yes. From what everyone said when it came out it was a very well done hoax. There used to be a website with a picture of the real plane and it's model twin. It was a long time ago. The bounce it takes was the only part that hints at it not being a real plane. Real pilots from that racing series pointed out that no one was familiar with the plane or the supposed pilot and the supposed pilot's website that used to be up had a bunch of B.S. on it about things like joining the RAF but quitting because he didn't get enough sorties. It was discovered that it was a digitally manipulated viral video for the German clothing company killathrill and after scores of web searches there were absolutely no news stories about the amazng feat aired or published in any media source. It's a fake.
 
I remember when it was goin around, too. The thing is.....it's real, it's not fake. Whoever it was landed the plane with one wing. Model or not, the principle is the same. The video was just manipulated to be something that it was not, but it's not a fake.

Sorry, but this IS a fake, and the principal is not exactly the same. There is no airplane (yet) that can be flown by man which can be "hovered" (hung on the prop) the way some RC models can. R/C models simply are able to have a much higher HP to weight ratio than manned craft.

Yep
here is a .60 size extra and I stuffed a 1.20 size engine in her. Couldn't exactly do that in a real extra..

The video is FAKE
