Guys... I think this video was found to be fake. I saw it years ago. The video looks fishy to me, as a graphic artist... Especially the last 20 secs. But still a cool video. I do know, however, amazing things can be done with throttle alone. My dad landed a Cessna 180 full throttle and came to a stop with the tail in the air, balancing on two front wheels. he didn't ant to damage the broken tail wheel. He had a hanger worker run a wheel barrel under it, then slowly eased the tail into the wheel barrow. I think I might have a pic of it somewhere... Cool stuff...

To me it does look fake. I have seen this stunt done with a RC plane for real. So I'm not sure if this can or can not be done with a real plane. I have also seen a RC flying lawn mower and I'm just waiting for someone to make one big enough to ride in. I would pay to see that :-).
All in all I agree still a cool video.

LOL I seen the video with the flying lawn mower, but also was wondering, if someone was to make one of astro turf, and then have the flying mower go after the astro turf.
