Country:  | That is freakin cool! Actually, CC, I believe that is real. You use a lightwight foam construction. It's weighs next to nothing, but is strong as hell and flexible too. Put enough horsepower behind it, you can make anything fly. "There's nor replacement for displacement"!

Country: | Well, I can't claim that one, that's why I put it in quotes. Our wing maintenance officer says it all the time.

Country: | Edited footage, Cleverly arranged stunts...
If they are real, I dont understand how theyre on the water fine one second, then suddenly take off? Almost liek the aerodynamics suddenly changing...still a bit fishy to me...

Uh, lanc, have you ever seen a movie with "special effects"? 
They kinda have to edit some fake stuff in, it's not particularly a new concept. | |

Country: | yes but it's normally obvious if it's computer graphics, this was obviously done with a home camera and a simple editing program, if they did edit that in, they're bloody brilliant at it, they've got the water ripples and everything..............
and CC, a plane will remain on the ground untill it's given enough power, once it's got a cirtain ammount of power, it will take off, think of what they're doing in the water as taxying (i dunno how it's spelt!!).........

They probably filmed the water scenes and edited in the flying, if it is indeed edited. I believe it could be real. | |
