if that is real it is amazing

it is indeed real that is some mad skills there. that guy KNEW how to fly, prolly needed a drink or somehting afterwards, or needed to wipe his asspirin. but DAMN

Looks pretty "green screen" to me...the way the plane landed and how fast the propeller stopped and the grass did not even move if at all. Looks fake to me. Sorry if a sound negative.

low res, you wont notice blades of grass moving, i had to up th res on my gpu to see it. but i saw it. and teh pros, it is a HIGH compression engine in that bird. it IT WLL stop moving quickly ( unless the engline blows lol )

sorry but it defies the laws of physics.  the other blade should have folded and the way it corrected on the ground looks like something out of a movie.

fake.

any minute a few of the pilots will chime in...

but you know they can hover with the amount of power those planes have. they don't need the wings once they're off the ground and hovering. it does help with control though

saw the 1800-something-or-other-i-forgot plane hover about 20 feet off the ground at the NAS Meridian air show. amazing stuff to me, a non-pilot. loved it.

the jets, not so much.
planes and pistons are where it's at jack

So are yall saying this is ALL CG?, and yes Capt obvious, it DOES defy the law of physics in a major way. but consider could this have been a HOLY shaZam! IM GONNA DIE moment? or since somethign liek this has not happened successfully before, it is not possible? many thngs to consider before one pounds the fake buton 

but it is so much fun to pound the fake button and watch u squirm lol

bastard lol , it very well could be a fake. but if it is, its a damned good fake 

Fake.  The landing being the most obvious way to tell.  Or when you find the video on RC plane sites. Watch it in full screen during the flight after he loses the wing...see any odd pixelation JUST around the aircraft....? It gets  super blurry and shakey RIGHT during the landing....only bounces once  (and somehow the left wing doesn't slap down..) and almost instantly stops...

I found a similar video-  http://thatvideosite.com/view/6436  the guy lands it on it's side ( dif plane) with not too much damage. Looks like 1/4 scale plane or so.

I vote Fake.

definitely fake, fun to watch though

A first view gave me that subtle "fake?" feel.
A second one made me think the same.
Nice clip though.

if it is fake, meh, if it aint, meh. even if i could prove it wasnt, many here, AND elsewhere would still say FAKE. lol. but still if that was real, then damn that is one lucky sonofabeeeyotch

It is fake, at the end its CGI. From the point the wing drops off and it goes slightly blurred, its CGI and happens too fast. I watch planes every single day, light aircraft, aeorbatics planes, and even though that particular move IS possible, No plane can hit the ground that hard, bounce 6foot in the air, staying completely level and land without breaking the splindly undercarrige, and then do a 180 turn and stop, Especially all in about 20m's

What IS real though is this....

edit: I whacked the fake button when i saw the first video, the bow is for the real one.

i don't know how any of you guys even for a moment thought that was real. that was really crappy cg.

if you say so  i saw broken/missing wing on my post, as in this one as well.  so idk
