Pretty sure the wheels are completely disengaged when in flight mode. Only the propeller accelerates it for takeoff.
There was a light-plane chase plane taking some of that video, and visible in some parts going at the same speed as the prototype. Even if it's a Piper Cub cruise is about 120kph, if it's a Cessna 180 etc. could be up to 200.
