I've controlled air traffic for over 30 years, and I've seen pilots take an acrobatic plane like that RV and stand it on its' tail in a hover with engine power.
I can tell you from years of experience that

THAT IS REAL!

Well... a real RC plane until the very end where a shot of a full size plane and pilot was added. There are videos on YOUTUBE showing how they made that 'video'. Just to the right of the video window. That is, unless you aren't logged on to the internet.

Caps notwithstanding, it is a marketing ploy.

And not real.

In all your years as ATC, have you ever seen a high horsepower (high weight) performance aircraft with with tiny cylindrical spring steel landing gear and no wheel fairings ?

Have you ever seen a plane like that hit the runway and bounce up twice into the air at a speed too low to promote lift ?

It’s an Extra, not an RV, and the plane with no wing is an RC.

Clever photo editing of a real performer and it’s scale model counterpart.
