We don't need no stinking landing strip.

Way cool!

Cool, but it looks like a large scale RC to me.
The scale of the rocks and grass is off.
About the 2:30 mark, the plane lands near what looks like tire ruts, if that was a real plane, then the tires that made those ruts are about 8 ft wide.

I've seen videos of these type planes before. It's required that the pilot has large nuts to operate one.

When my wife and I went to Alaska last year, we flew from Anchorage to Port Alsworth in a twin turbo prop and from Port Alsworth to Little Mulchatna in a float plane.

the twin prop we rode in was hit 2 weeks prior in Clark pass by another plane and landed safely. It's rudder was sheared in half!

While in Port Alsworth we saw similar Piper cubs with the bush wheels dropping off and picking up moose and bear hunters. They had to make several trips for 2 guys, one had a 1,500 pound moose and another a 900 pound grizzly.

We were limited to 50 pouinds of luggage and gear on the float plane and the bush planes were similar.

those bush pilots are bad azz!

Those are balloon tires to land on ruff terrain.
Judging the camara angle, hieght, and zoom, looks correct scale.

I disagree, look at the rocks and the grass. Unless those boulders are 2 to 3 feet big, it has to be a RC plane. I've known guys that were into these. Not uncommon to have 12 to 14 foot wing spans.

LOL yup, and big balloon tires and a suspension system on the gear

Alaska to me. The big wheels are the giveaway.

Sounds like a 6-banger Continental, turbo no doubt.

[Region Warrior]

If RC, they did an excellant job dubing the motor sounds.

[TinInjun]

Those aren't R/C planes. They are the real thing.

[69goatboy]

Maybe they are the real deal.
But the scale still looks off to me.

Pretty cool flying regardless.

No RC, but a great commercial for Alaska Bush Wheel Tundra Tires. Worth every dime of the big bucks they cost.
