The pilot is multiple time world champion Italian Silvesteri Sebastiani, world wide well know Radio Control pilot. I think this guy could fly a brick if he wanted to.
Just like the full scale MIG-29 this model is equipped with 2 micro Turbojet Engines with real and functional Thrust Vectoring exhaust nozzles capable of producing about 25 lbs of thrust each. You need to bear in mind that hovering an airplane is one daunting task on its own but it is lot easier on an ordinary plane since the propeller wash will keep a constant airflow over control surfaces thus the pilot will have some what effective flying surfaces. At the other hand on a jet the thrust will be emitted from the tail and below stall speed (high Alfa) the control surfaces will be all dead. Thrust vectoring will enable the pilot to maneuver the plane during High Alfa.
I'd personally rather to hear the roar of those Turbine engines instead of listening to Celine Dion but hey. Enjoy the vdo.
