I don't know much about stunt planes...would they (and this model in particular) have fuel storage in the wings??

Also---I figured out the KMAGB part, but what is the BO prefix part?

Re-watching the vid, I've decided that right when the craft goes from largely vertical to (seemingly magically) onto its landing gear, it looks a bit contrived. The bounce looks phony to me, and it's also when the focus too-conveniently gets a bit blurred, if only briefly. Could this be footage of a model (radio-controlled) aircraft?

My father-in-law also sent a link with some amazing radio-controlled flight. Check out:

...especially the vertical, zero velocity hovering by these, fixed-wing aircraft.
