You either need to be very brave or barking mad to fly like that!

Couldn't watch the whole thing making me feel ill....

That alone would make a great James Bond opening sequence, arriving on the lawn of Bloqfelds Stately Home with a slightly ruffled M onboard.

Madness!

Definitely RC.
I see exhaust smoke and the real ones supposed to be turbine.
I think the real thing would cause a bit more turbulence-Brilliantly done though

Big RC if it is!

You can tell RC helicopters as they have those extra, smaller blades above the main rotors. This one doesn't as its the real deal.

no way RC
seen it before -
got to have a lot of faith in science and imagine if the chopper got a blit of windshear and dropped 10 feet, snip snip snip.

I still say it's RC

When a real copter flies near grass tree's etc. It completely flattens the area with the downforce necessary to keep it's 3 tons airbourne

Me too

In the fly-by the pilot doesnt seem to be moving
Also there is a clever use of scale and perspective with surrouding backdrop but at times it just doesnt look right

I'm absolutley no expert at all in these things - but it looks to me like the one they used to kill Godzilla

When you view a second time, with the idea it might be RC, you can convince yourself it isn't real. But, in the last 2 seconds when it lands the pilot releases his grip on the stick. So its real or very clever editting.
