Just found out the wings are really powered by Turnigy outrunners and lipos from HobbyKing

Wow, really?!!!

I thought it was an early April-fools' joke or something!

Loads of people on YT are saying it's fake.

Hmmm...most of the comments on gizmodo are similar to YT saying it's all fake.
Looks like a big april fools' day preparation!

Hey, did anybody consider that this might just be another 'Flying Dutchman'?   

Maybe he should use this Italian 'Cold Fusion Device' to get longer flight times!

This is interesting with ILM folks getting involved.

Now this is something awesome. You can, at the least, use it as a Halloween costume!
