Default RE: Is this landing SCALE or R/C?

My guess is neither--I think it's manufactured from footage of a real landing.

First, you're not going to smoke the nosewheel three times. After the first bounce the wheels will be spun up.

Second, I've never seen a model smoke the tires. Ever.

Third, the dynamics are totally off for full-scale. I think the de-rotation after the first two bounces is physically impossible.
