That’s not an air-racer. That’s an acrobatic flyer.

It's a very nicely edited fake. A nice piece of RC flying though. There's no way that a full size plane could land on it's tail feathers like that and not take considerable damage, even if it is stressed for +10 -10 G's. Just goes to show you how you can cheat normal aerodynamic rules when you have enormous amounts of excess engine power and torque.

If it were real, the wing peeling off would have been followed by rapid fuel loss and a likely fireball as the wing-tank was ruptured. The wing also peels off at a not particularly dynamic point in the flight.

Even as an R/C plane, this craft was obviously constructed to have the wing fall off. I’ve flown R/C craft and have even suffered a main spar brake during aerobatic flight (due to fuel seepage weakening the joints). The wing folded, but did not detach, due to the fabric covering and bits of other wooden spars remaining attached. The plane made a nice parabolic dive into the ground, spiraling the entire way in. Nice to be on the ground in a situation like this!

As fake as Obeyme’s tax cuts.

It looks real to me.

I can explain why on several aspects.

One big clue is when the video stops. If this were real then the reactions of the pilot and the people running to him would be as exciting footage as the landing.
