    Well, according to his website, the pilot was at the Ft. Worth Alliance Airshow 10 October; Anyone remember him?

    I vote fake. The camera when it blurred while landing looked hella fake and the plane stopped very quickly.

    I am saddened by the fact that some people actually think that this is real....

    I blame it all on Troy Bryan for getting me hooked on the RC thing. Out of 3 years of trying I once saw a landing where it bounced like that. The remainder of the landings looked much like Teaks link and resulted in retrieval requiring a basket and a shovel. "Actually easy" for some maybe, heck, its just a thumb thing, how hard can it be? Mine aren't connected to the brain. I agree, the bounce is quite suspect.

    figured there was a post in here about this...I knew it was fake on the bounce as Rob called it...read the book "Blink" it says go with the gut feel because it's generally correct, even after analyzing and over analyzing things. Gut feel, the bounce did it for me.

    Hard to fathom. That's one effective aileron on that plane.

    Tough sell for me

    For anyone foolish enough not to have figured it out by now;

    The video is a promotional video for Killa Clothing http://www.killa.ca/

    For anyone who hadn't noticed that an aircraft that losses a wing, the aileron control surface continues to operate after the wing loss. (Impossible). The aircraft in the air has a different paint scheme and colors!!!!!, than the one one the ground.

    There is no wing root structure, anyone remotely involved with airplanes know what the structure of a wing looks like!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Never mind that it is impossible for an aircraft to fly with the sole wing upright, spin to land with no movement of the landing gear struts, and the pilot doesn't even move his head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    As a clothing company video well done, as an aviation video - whatever . . .

    Just look at the lnding and especially at the animated pilot. The arms look very unnatural.
