Indoor RC Aircraft Aerial Ballet Video

I stumbled across this video by mere chance and I felt compelled to post it as the skill shown by the operator truly belies belief. As if flying a remote controlled aircraft with any degree of panache is not hard enough, to conduct stunts such as these in what appears to be a gymnasium undoubtedly takes not only a considerable degree skill, but a high degree of spatial awareness.

This genuinely astounding display is sheer poetry in motion and some of the moves this plane pulls with its reversible pitch propeller at the end of the video appear to defy the laws of gravity to the point at which it’s hard not to think that this is suspended by some invisible wire.

Even if you do not consider yourself to be particularly “into” RC aircraft I would urge you to take a look at the video as I guarantee it will impress you.

To view the video please sit back, click on the image below and prepare to be wholly astounded (there is also an option to download the video if preferred).

Not sure about the crazy frog track at the end, mind you – but with flying skills like these who am I to argue?
