Could this be a knife edge gone wrong?
 

I was in the crash forum and saw this video. Can anyone identify this what type of jet this was? It was in a high speed pass in a knife edge configuration and it suddenly went nose down. Could this be a knife edge gone wrong or radio interference? Check out the video.

I would love to hear from the pilot of this plane.

Looks like a Kangaroo to me. As far a s a knife edge, mine would do one a little better than that.

It appears that the rudder control let go on first look, I agree that looks like a roo. Heck of a way to rekit a model! I would be more inclined to believe it was pilot error to the great dismay of its pilot.

I see that someone started the same post with the same video ????
But as i say before it seems like a knife edge gone wrong. Thanks guys for your responses.

The cause of the crash was wrong rudder input. Even good pilots do mistakes :D

Well it sure does look like he simply applied right rudder (or no rudder at all) instead of left. Earlier in the video, the Roo has no apparent difficulty maintaining sustained knife edge flight. Very nice quality video!
