That is funny video and far from being a compeitive F2A Speed ship.  Looks like the pilot needed some training.  While there at You Tube I looked at the record breaking light of an F2A speed plane.  It was more like what you see in F2A competition.  Pilot leading the plane for a lap or two to get it airborne and up on the pipe.  You can tell when the pipe kicks in as the rotational speed increases quite a bit.   H^^

I wonder how many noticed the built up wing with a flap that is most likely coupled with the elevator?

These fellows were having a whale of a good time with this! Judging from their laughter I would say there may have been adult beverages present.

The landing gear should have dropped if it were a true speed plane. I could be wrong about that.

The little Perky doesn't drop it's gear.  Also the proto speed planes keep their gear.  H^^
