Worst. Faked. Video. Ever.

Why did they have to ruin a perfectly good stunt R/C flying vid with the stupid premise of a guy along for a ride??

I saw this earlier today on a site, the did do some great aerobatics with the plane, having it hang in the air like that.

I'm stuck at a city council meeting right so I can't view the video, but I saw a great video on e of a guy getting into a CriCri at an R/C plane meet and flying it after creating the impression that its because his transmitter is "broken".

Great stuff, and the crowd goes wild.

Either the same guys, or someone trying to copy them. The "guy" riding attached to the plane is so fake that its rediculous, he flaps like a flag and scrapes against the ground. Its so obviously a blowup dummy thats it laughable. The sad thing is that its a pretty decent aerobatic show for a large-scale plane, and its ruined by the crappy gimmick.

The difference, then, is that the Cri-Cri was a real plane with a real pilot, its just so small that it looks exactly like a scale R/C plane.  :)

I'll find a link if I can when I get home, todayseeting is now almost three hours long so far.  Jeepers!

Looks like the R/C club on the east side of Tucson. Rincon Mtns east and Catalinas to the North.
