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.

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.
Yep. You can scale an airplane, but you can't scale the air molecules they fly in.
