I believe it's an RC plane as well. With almost no roll out on landing, and like necro said - that pancake would likely have buckled the landing gear among other things on a full scale aircraft. The right wing is also strategically blocked by the fuse when the pilot opens the canopy to climb out.
Besides, I doubt there's a pilot in the world with that level of experience to fly those manouvers, that wouldn't go for altitude if the plane's even partially controllable rather than knife edge it closer to the ground, and then bail out. 'Chutes are always worn while flying any aerobatics.
Pretty darn cool piece of effects though. I've seen some Hollywood stuff in recent movies that don't measure up. Someone's got a career ahead of them.
