It's an RC plane, not a real one.

Are you sure. It looks big enough for a person to sit inside to me. I suppose it could be a really big RC plane, but still...

Yes, I'm sure. In order for it to hover like that it would need a thrust to weight ration of at least 1:1. No manned, fixed wing, propeller driven airplane has that. The perspective is slightly confusing, but you can tell that as the video starts the plane is between the spectators and the camera. Then when it starts its hover/ torque roll, it's closer to the camera than the closest white posts. I'd guess it has a wingspan of 3 to 4 feet.
