i started out flying helis about a year ago, but now im in love w\ planes, and have daydreamed about doing something like that, if he uses cyclic pitch and stuff to act as elevater and rudder it would prolly work, idk if he is using that or not but i can definently see 5-D taking off, soon (hopefully) we will see some 40%ers doing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, can you imagine the setup necessary to be able to push a 40% Carden, Aeroworks, etc... backwards from a dive like that. The setup would probably have to be massive to a point. I'm sure to turn a 32" prop with 8-10 degrees of pitch around all while it is still spinning would take a monster of a servo unless it is geared from the motor itself someway. Even in the video, the electric had a little difficulty, but a GIANT scale with variable pitch doing that would be simply awesome.
I do believe we are in the realm of 5-D Flying now.
