I don't believe that a autopilot can do this !!! How the gps its so accurate in that tiny space ? How you can have a AP and gps and gyros in a plane whit only 200 grams ????

real planes can do it. provided enough engine power is available. some acrobatic aircraft such as the Pitts biplane do it during shows but only stand still for say 2 seconds. problem is to find a pilot who can keep it that stable...

Amazing!!
It's normal to use the ailerons (wing flaps) to counteract torque in the prop hang mode, though they're less effective because there's little airflow. What is surprising is the lack of rudder use. Human pilots seem to use a LOT of rudder in this mode.
Amazing piece of work.

It looks like it uses the flaps on its wings to counteract the twist from the propeller. You can clearly see this around 1:10, with the flap on the right wing pointing "up" and the one on the left wing pointing "down". And it seems to do the equivalent thing with the flaps on the tail wings in order to acheive the transition (which you can see clearly around 1:32)
