You guys got Rick-Rolled and don't even know it!

Rickrolling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BTW, it's only funny the first time

Rickrolled!! Haha...

And I'm not so sure about a hoax -- he's got the power to weight ratio to hang on the prop like that for sure!

Fake. It was done as a promotion for somebody. There's a thread or two on Pprune about it. Nice editing, though. Numerous YouTube videos of RC models doing this. If it were "real" it would have been on every news channel in the world!

Numerous little clues ... initial spin rate and rotation, engine sounds like a Cox, and the "Ruuuuuuuuunnnnnnn" at the end is a little heavy-handed ...
