I dunno... Actually watching it up untill the point were the pilot got out I saw it as an r/c place because it acted just like one, spent many hours flying them and the flight characteristics rang a bell.

A few things that bother me about this.

1. Inertia takes a back seat: The bounce was very fast up and down. Looked exactly like a hard landing in an r/c plane and nothing like one in a real aircraft. When the wing came off it flitted away like something VERY lightweight.

2. The convenient fuzzing and shaking of the video during the times immediately after the landing. THe video is crisp and always in focus during the moments right up to the landing. Then when you're leading in the transition from the r/c to the real plane it starts losing focus. Additionally the "shaking" of the camera as the plane is taxiing is way to fast and looks computer generated. These "events" would cover up the fact that an r/c plane is rolling on grass and bouncing a lot more than a real plane would AND that they transitioned from a model to life size.

3. The clincher. The wheel nacelles are silver with a black stripe on the top for the entire video right up untill the transition from r/c to real. Then they are solid flat black.
