that is all teh fake
shuuuuurrly the wings have to be well...wing shaped to provide lift etc
*scrutinises frame by frame for cgi*

Just need feck loads of power
There is enough lift from those wings to make this work. Advantage of that tough cardboard is it is very light weight.

as long as the air travels faster over the top of the wing than the bottom
you get lift from the pressure differential. I reckon it is angled just enough to slow the air down underneath the wing

At the risk of being a boring twat*
...having a flat plate wing which is angled to the flow of air (known as the Angle of Attack) does by it's very nature create a pressure differential resulting in lift. An aerofoil section just makes this phenomenon more efficient. If lift was purely as a result of the wing section, it would be impossible for aircraft to fly upside down.
*I admit to failure, and hereby hold my hand up as a boring twat.
But at least I don't find the need to shriek hysterically at 140dB when I see a model aircraft in flight.

Everything most people think they know about aerodynamics is wrong.
