As above, this was done with an r/c plane. Hanging r/c planes on their props isn't all that hard to do, the thrust/weight ratio is so high. When the wing separates it floats down very gently, indicative of a very light wing, i.e. made of balsa wood. Also when the plane lands it bounces as if very light, again balsa wood. Lastly look at the pilot figure after landing, the head is completely motionless.

So they did the sequence with an R/C plane and then cut it together with a last shot of a pilot opening the canopy of a plane.

Props to the R/C pilot though, that's still a hell of a save.
