I wonder how log it took them to get that good!
I also wonder what powers the models, real jet?

I was talking to a fellow at an Air Show and the subject came up about him buying a jet for the Reno air show and having to explain a $4,000 charge on a credit card as gas for the 4 hr trip to fly it home.

I'm not sure it was animation. I was at the Camarillo Air Show (CA) and saw a 10 minute stunt demonstration of a miniature RC jet. It took off right in front of me, flew amazing stunts and passes over the runway and landed, taxiing right past me. It was about 5 feet long.No fuel used; it is all animation! Old stuff.

The text underneath says:
Now you can fly the Mig-29 OVT and pull amazing aerobatic manoeuvers that even the full size pilots cannot perform. Record your flight and then play it back while flying your own jet again to see if you can keep tight formation with your first flight! Filmed action from the Aerofly RC 8 flight simulator.

Seems like an added comment, not pertaining to the video.

I think you'll find it to be the description written by the video producers that goes along with the video.
There are many YT vidoes showing similar stunts which can be done with force vectoring radio control models. A quick search will reveal a wide selection, including instructional ones.
As far as I understand - an aviation enthusiast (but not a miliatary intelligence specialist!) - the Mig 29 is a spectacular aircraft but not capable of flying quite like that shown in the video. Model flight characteristics are quite different from full size aircraft - a good example is the RC 3D helicopter displays, which are totally & utterly impossible for the full size helos.
Definitely a pair of models, but quite rare to see two of these in formation.

I was referring to the reference to the simulator.

If it's not an animation. Why don't they stall?

I don't know what sort of unit(s) you need to power FV aircraft - there was a local guy who had a jet model - about 6-7ft long - powered by a miniature gas turbine. Don't know what they cost now but it was nearly $8k at the time.
When I started playing with RC helicopters, a newly introduced gyro stabilizer (which was so far out of reach it wasn't funny) was in the order of ten grand. Now you buy an electric heli at the mall around Christmas time, with all kinds of electronics including gyros for about $20! In 1979, my tail rotor blades were more than that.
Seemed like a great idea at the time, but it was a short -lived hobby...

Any chance yours were better made?

None whatever! Mine was state of the art at the time, and if one could be found now would be laughed off the field as a crude best-forgotten museum piece!
Here's a link to the Mig 29 at Farnborough Air Show when it first came out. The manoeovres were generally considered to be everything except impossible.

It's for mobiles so may not look great on full size screens.

I've been to several radio controlled jet model events and seen the same type of maneuvers.
Definitely not animation.
