Eh, he has a motor at the beginning to help him get off. Afterwards he controls it with his arms. There are other videos that lead up to that thing, pretty awesome. They are like wii controls or somethin for the motor.

Yep, it's a real good fake. Just the fact that when he is in the air the fabric in the wings is too flappy and his legs stick straight back.
