It's clearly tiny - so probably legitimately RC. 

 

Probably had the controls in the helicopter to get it that high. 

[Lexx_Luthor]

Editing mistake maybe? Looks out of place yes.

[Milktrout]

It doesn't look CGI, it looks like an RC plane.  The edits are to avoid revealing the scale.

40 RC Jet landings in 5 minutes.

They validate the concept without having to risk a 1:1 scale prototype.

And Iran finally gets their RC Ho229 model in flight! The paint scheme is historically inaccurate, though.

[+Typhoid]

yep, a scale model. 

[Milktrout]

It's a scale model of a functional warplane in the same sense as a 1/10 scale C-17 is a strategic transport.
