I have a quick question...
I thought due to the principles a heliocopter worked on, that it couldn't hover upside down..which it did in that vid.... :scratch: Among other things it did...

remote control chappers can Flip the attack angle of the rotor blades..making them work in reverse while still spinning normally (unside down plane wing). Real choppers can't do that. Well actually they can be made to but the pilots reflexes aren't quick enough to avert a disaster. The Pilot has to think of working in reverse when upsidedown and it's kinda mind blowing. At least this is how i understand it.
(chopper pilots feel free to chime in and shoot me down if wrong)

I heard there are choppers now that can do a barrel roll I beleive..I think the comanche can do this.

RC choppers have no worries about pilot reflexes and can work much quicker.

Yeah, the Comanche (or is it the Apache?) can do a complete vertical 360 in midair.

Cool

My first step into the model airplanes ended in flames...really.

Bought a kit for ~400 bucks. Put it together over two weekends. Then on it's first flight, I was taxi-ing and all of a sudden it shot straight up at full throttle, then came straight down at full throttle...I never want to hear that sound again... :shock:
It was this wwwwwaaaaaAAAAAAAA!!!!!!CRUNCH!!... ouch..

The crash cracked the fuel tank and sparks from the grinding metal started a fire...It was actually pretty cool...

I know that sound.......I call it "painful entertainment."

My airplane made it not too long ago. R.I.P.

All I see is
"Hate to tell you this, but that page ain't here.
Seriously. It's not.
404 baby. 40-freakin'-4.
I even tried multi,
which is much more than I do for most folks.
Most times, I just zap up a blank page
and give the old 404 rap,_"

The Commanche was cancelled either last year or the year before.
