Exactly....and if full-size aerobatics at airshows has evolved to vertical hovers just above ground level alll us pilot types would read about it on the front page of the monthlies...

I've been flying full-size my entire life (50+ years) and models for the last 35 years.

Unlike the poster, I know the difference between a full-size and a model.

While a 40%-scale model can appear to the uninitiated like a full-size, the speed in which this one was reacting to the control and throttle input tells me this was a model. A large model, but a model, nonetheless.

He said he searched google, but couldn't find anything like this.

I typed in 'Hovering Airplane' into google and it returned 1,450,000 results

No, I said I could not find anything that had anything about real planes doing this.

Remember, I was trying to back up what I am thinking is real. You found searches for something I was not looking for.

Same here...40 years plus A&P...R/C pilot too.... If you click on my username you'll be greeted with a shot of me and the business end of my beloved Cessna 195...:o)

I’m not in the industry...just a casual observer, but I thought this plane responded much too quickly, and jerky to be a real plane. I’ve been to several air shows, and even the smalles planes didn’t react the way this one did.

Not trying to dis the person who posted this, but something just looks odd the way this plane manuevers.

If I’m wrong I’ll be the first to admit it.
