They would have been derelict to use an R/C system to control that aircraft. I suspect they just used the transmitter as a control device and used a fully redundant high power transmission system.
Why is it so hard to believe that our systems are capable of sending a signal to the appropriate actuators?
I have my DVR set already to record the show. I will hold my opininons 'till AFTER i see the entire show.

You are foolish if you do believe it. They should be arrested for endangerment if they are. Our little 100 MW signal could easily get lost in that metal skinned aircraft. They are probably on 900MHZ with 10w at least and are using circular polarization.
I was the system engineer at Goldstone tracking site for the Lunar Orbiter space probe. We could get reliable transmission to the moon with 2W but we had a transmitter antenna gain of 54 db and our receiver had a cryogenically cooled MASER( like a LASER but used RF instead of light) preamplifer
