Would this be called "winging it"?

There's absolutely NO denying that it was a highly skilled display of flying an extremely robust aircraft, but surely it also just proves that if you can stick enough power behind it & attach control surfaces to a brick, a good pilot should be able to fly it!!

The only thing keeping that one airborne was thrust and a remarkably skilled & steady hand on the stick!

Bravo Zulu!

that took some skills as he said... good thing he did not know it. The plane may be tough but with out a skillful pilot it is just a flying bucket of bolts....

hard to say if he was winging it.... after all he was short one wing...
