It's a well documented fake.
Nevermind. Got it:

Still pretty cool that the R/C pilot got his model down without a right wing.

Two things strike me about the film. The first is that the plane lost the wing at the top of a climb where there is minimal wing loading. The second is that the shadows change on the ground near the very end when the plane does a ground loop into the grass.
Also, there is no torn sheetmetal at the wing root. All airplanes have sheetmetal faired to join the wing to the fuselage to smooth air flow. Large models, however, are built to have the wings removed to facilitate transporting.
Compare the lack of visible damage to the model to that of the Israeli F-15 that was previously posted. An axiom of aircraft design is that you can fly a barn door if you have enough power.

yeah , i thought so . if a real plane would have hit that hard the landing gear would have snaped . and i watch ac guys fly their toys a lot during lunch . and it just seemed to handle more like a ac toy .
