Anyone want to break the entire sequence down into a play by plane? Sanders- Do you have a free few days?
This nerd may be the best pilot I've ever seen.. ;)

It's amazing what you can build, if you don't
have to haul around 200 lbs of pilot!

Wow; is that thing battery powered?
Can you imagine a drone being able to do that. Might be the end of the fighter pilot.

This reply might contain more details than you might care for, but since you expressed interest, then here you are.
The RC model in the video is similar to the model that he flew in the 2012 competition. (I was unable to easily locate his 2013 information)
Here is his 2012 version:
http://rcshare.com/rc-showcases/view/rc ... ion-model/
The 2012 model is electric powered, with a 2-cell Lipo for power (nominal 7.4 volts, 120 mAH). Flight endurance: 4 minutes. Wingspan: 840mm. Weight (ready-to-fly) 95 grams.
The video shows his free-style routine which was set to music. You can see the rules for the F3P competition here:
http://www.canadaf3a.org/Documents/Indo ... %20F3p.pdf
The competition is free-style. However, all competitors must pass a qualifying round following the prescribed sequence in the last section of those rules. There is a list of named manouvers for the prescribed sequence. I think his freestyle included all those (in a different order) plus maybe a few extra moves.
As is usually the case with these things, it sure takes a lot of skill to make it look easy.
