Not R/C all you have to do is take a look at Bill's fingers on the controller....his right thumb would be giving down elevator...when the full scale has up elvator applied

full scale, i know that Bill also has a 50% scaled Oracle Challenger, but his doesnt have the wires and stuff and his smokes are really, really thick
plus, it doesn't look like he has the right control input for that knife edge. check how the plane's smoke scaled with the grass and the runway, it's GIANT! full scale ^_^ and if you look closely, you can see Sean Tucker's face looking toward the runway

Fake pic.
Its Photo Chopped. (real pic with the plane.....but the control horn is added) Would you really see a horn on a plane that big???? He has a BIG plane........ Either that.....or the horn and horizon lines are chopped.

I'm gunna say real. Just take a look at this picture, the control horn really is that big. And I was wondering what that little star thingy was but it's on the real one too in the 2nd pic.

Here's Sean's Challenger I took at Oshkosh. Compare the two, and two things appear different; Sean's prop in my pic has two distinct, red colored stripes on his 3 bladed prop (the RC pic has a single white stripe on each blade). His canopy on my shot, does not have the reinforced canopy brace, just forward of the pilot. The RC pic has one.
Everything else looks pretty good, as far as I can tell. I'm torn on this one. It does appear the pilot has his head turned to look at the ground clearance off the low wing. I'm going to say it's real, in spite of the discrepancies. Charles

the star thing is actually removeable, those are actually sensors (i think, thats what my friend told me) that records datas like G' forces and speed and stuff
and Rider, props are change able ^_^

Well if you look at the canopies they are different. I'm going to say that its rc because if you look at his thumbs they seem to be doing what the plane is but any one can imatate the movement of a real airplane with a radio. And if you look at the elevator there isn't much up elevator and if you look at his thumbs he is giving it full throttle and rudder. What is that plane in the background r1derbike?
