That was Bill Hemple flying a 50% model. That is part of his new "airshow" routine. He originally had it happened accidentaly with a 50% Edge 540, was able to land it with one wing, then he decided it was cool enough to develope a system to so he could jettison the wing at will.
So it is not the real plane pulling that one off, but a real big model.

Very nice but ... a fake. Anyway, it would be better if you sent e.g. a link from YouTube, instead of sending the file itself. Not all of us has ADSL connection.
Incidentally, on YouTube, you can see the faking:

I can not say if the video is ALL computer generated or not, the last part is fake, but I think the actual landing is a real RC plane, not computer. Large RC aerobatic planes have MOST DEFINITELY been landed after a wing has separated as you see in the video. If you ever saw a master RC pilot flying a state of the art aerobatics plane, doing the landing you see in the video would be easy compared to some of the other things I have seen them do.

It was Bill Hemple doing the flying with his model... He has done it many times. He is the pilot that did the flying for the movie Aviator with the H racer.
We do stuff with our models that would blow your mind, and landing with one wing is not really that hard given the huge control surfaces and 80 deg throws we use for 3D flying. Just roll knife edge and hold till your on the deck then roll level just like the vid shows.
