He must be.  I'm no engineer, but can you fly a helicopter upside down?  Ever?  Isn't the whole point of the blades to lift the body?  If you invert it, isn't it going to pull the body down faster than gravity would otherwise?  And how do you yo-yo it back and forth like that?  Wouldn't that require a reversal in the direction of the primary rotor?  There's no indication of that happening?

Perhaps there are other propulsors of some sort on it, but until I hear otherwise I call scam.

Actually, that's exactly what's happening.  I noticed at the start that he began by pushing down with the rotor, then switched it to force it up.  And there were one or two other shots where I noticed the white bar around the tip of the blades reverse.

Me thinks only in the RC world, real Copters can do rolls & loops but are upside down for a fraction.

If you can reverse the blades and get them up to speed that fast, then it all becomes plausible.  Well, the main rotor anyway.  If it's a reversal of the main rotor making it go left and right, by the same token you could fly the copter upside down by reversing the direction of the motor.  If so, that's one hell of a gear system.
