      Looks to me like one of the homebuilts that are 60% to 80% size of full scale.

      Nose is way small for a FW 190

      (edit... found the plane that crashed)

      Update: this plane recently crashed, moderately injuring its pilot. News footage of the crash aftermath can be seen here:http://www.3news.co.nz/Light-aircra...
      FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

      current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

            Correction.. its not the 60% I found earlier. It IS an AT6.

            Someone caught it as in was coming down on their cell phone.

            No injuries were reported after a small vintage plane crashed and caught fire on the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills.


            The pilot – who was the sole occupant – escaped the plane unhurt

                It was a Texan out of Van Nuys painted up for airshows, pilot got out with no injuries. Made a big mess of the afternoon traffic.

                  Total loss of a vintage plane, that's a shame but at least the pilot was unharmed.
