• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

No, BB, the landing is not rediculous, nor is the bounce. The blurring is the autofocus on a handheld home video camera, NOT an expensive professional one. Look closely at the control throws. This is totally believable.

That aircraft is very light weight, extremely strong, built for very high G manuevers, ones that a normal aircraft would disinigrate from even trying. These things can fly in angles/manuevers that would challenge a hummingbird. In fact, a lot of them are tested as R/C models FIRST, nowadays, THEN built full-scale.

I can tell by the comments made against this vid are ALL made by people who's ONLY knowledge about aircraft come from computers. So far, every real life R/C AND full scale pilot, believes this. How come?? Because we know the physics ARE possible in these kind of aircraft. These planes are actually DESIGNED to be capable of this. And if you've ever owned a home video camera and tried to follow an aerobatic routine, you would recognize the amature photography, and color discrepencies.

So CGI people, until this is shown frame by frame, or the original found, you aren't convincing me.

Also, some are asking why this would be so close to the crowd, etc. This didn't occur at an airshow. It was during a practice/test flight! Ground crew or friends only present. These guys don't just strap on these planes and fly at shows only. They fly seven days a week!

I am a real life pilot, and i also work in the very industry which makes these types of videos :)

this is 100% fake. Like everyone said, there are things which is way way way off in this video. If i was the FX director, i would have give that landing animation/compositing a REDO, or at least a CBB (could be better). I'm amazed that people actually think this is real.
