This was posted once before and the consensus was that it was a model that was carefully pasted together w/real airfcraft.
I sent it to my BIL who is a modeler, he said a good RC modeler would have no problem flying such a plane as they're so over powered and have such large control surfaces.

Yeah, a guy on the site where I first saw it also said it was animated.
Still it had my heart pounding for a minute.

Some of the newer generation electric RC models will actually hover or climb out of sight until the batteries go flat. Their flying really has little to do w/conventional theories of flight.

Yes: My mind perceived it as CGI. With all of the movies that have it. CGI is becoming the norm for special effects. But being exposed to so much of it the mind seems to become trained to be alert to it, Where the movement, and or lighting, looks unnatural .

If you look at this water glass. It looks almost real. But there are subtle characteristics that the mind sees that alert it, Your mind may be fooled for a split second, but not for a prolong period of time .

Wonder if this pic is real? That's a mighty low pass.
