Regardless whether you have seen such a maneuver before, you must admit that it's pretty cool a plane stand in the air as it seems to defy logic.

Video Ping!
I filmed this airplane standing upright, as if to deny both gravity and aeronautical logic. Has anyone ever seen such a stunt before? .....

We do this all the time with R/C planes. It’s called 3D flying. Lots of power and huge control surfaces. Seeing a full size plane do it is very impressive.

Yup, almost every airshow. They hang by the prop. It’s got a name but I don’t remember it.
I’ve seen them do this, then rise into a slow hammerhead turn.

As a pilot myself, at such a low altitude, HOW THE HECK DO YOU GET OUT OF THAT attitude? Anyone know?

I’ve seen Radio Controlled model airplanes do that maneuver all the time. It’s called “3D” flying.
I’ve never seen a full size Yak aerobatic aircraft perform it, howver.

It's called 3D flying. If you look at the 7-second mark you can see the pilot flying the model airplane. The model looks like a 40%-scale model (40% the size of the full-size)

Amazing power to weight ratio for a prop job!

Sorry, you are wrong.
It is a full scale plane with a pilot. Read the article. I filmed it myself at the airshow.
It is not a model plane.

I believe the term is called “hanging on the prop”, it in no way defies “aeronautical logic”.

Of course you all DO know that is a giant scale radio control airplane and not a full size with a human in it????...;o) I have a friend who competes with a 40% of size Sukhoi...he can do this all day...

Yep...as a pilot and mechanic who is always going to airshows no one at present does this in a full size...just don't quite have the power to weight....some can almost hang on the prop in a slow knife edge...but not stationary...also in a full size if the engine were to burp you'd be dead. With an R/C...you just pick up the pieces and go home and glue them back together...;o)

Anyone here says it is not, does not know what they are talking about. The plane has a pilot. It was filmed t5hwe Chico California Air Show.

Could you post the pilot’s name so I can contact him? Besides I work in the industry and know most of them....
