The quality of this video is just spectacular. *Looks like a very
large scale rc glider and a power rc with a camera flying in tight
formation. *Many times they are just inches from each other. *While
not the real thing (full scale sailplanes with pilots) it is fun to
watch while the snow flies. *These kinds of shots would be simply
amazing in real life but just too dangerous to get with any degree of
safety margin. *Enjoy.

8.4 meter ASH-31, according to the credits - about 1/4 scale?

From a brief shadow on the ground, the chase plane looks like a delta
wing. Nice piloting by all.
