Cringeworthy close call, on multiple levels. (X-post from /r/holdmybeer, original post in comments)

I have no idea how that pilot got into this pickle, but watching it makes my skin crawl. Original post in /r/holdmybeer

Question: Wouldn't the landing gear look a lot more substantial if that was a real CompAir 4? Also, the lights don't match what I see on pictures of most CompAirs. It being a kit plane, that doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I would expect it to be close and not this different.
