In addition to everything you mentioned there's two fixed mount gopros, one on the wing aimed at the fuselage, and one on the tail aimed forward. Footage from these is seen in the first 15 minutes of the video. Absolutely some kind of publicity stunt.
- TylerE 5y agoThat's not so unusual. Tons of student pilots mount external gopros for routine training flights these days.
- ehsankia 5y agoNot only it's not unusual for a Youtuber who frequently posts videos of themselves flying, but it also would explain why they would trek to the crash site, to recover expensive equipment, especially if the crash was nearby (which it was due to the plane turning and coming back and almost hitting him).
- progbits 5y agoI could believe that if the channel had a history of that kind of footage. But I just skipped around a few past videos (actually most of the channel content is not about flying) and couldn't see one. I'll let FAA assign blame, but sure does seem like he added that angle because it seemed like a cool shot for the crash. Edit: Also, he doesn't seem to fly with a full parachute normally, for example: https://youtu.be/OnOrfJo2LE0?t=253 https://youtu.be/OnOrfJo2LE0?t=253
