Insane RC Helicopter flying
 

on my last trip to Thailand was going to buy one of these puppies...didn't know they can do that some awesome skills :thumbsup

Is this real life?

Imagine what someone named Tareq Alsaadi with a real helicopter

Wow he touches the grass a few times, awesome skills :thumbsup HobbyKing has some nice helis (copies of Align T-rexes)

wow thats badass

I would probably get bored in 15 minutes...

Lucky you'd probably break it in 15 seconds

Dragonfly.

fucking terrorists

That is amazing skills

freaky looking

wow... unreal...

The do that about 2 mins from my place. Not the same place as the video, but fly like that. If it's not windy, they are out almost every evening. It's BAD ASS.

He probably sold his lawnmower, weed eater and hedge trimmer after learning
how to do that.

How many would you break before you could actually do that?

crazy cool

I think he's just learning on how to fly it straight, dont seem to be doing a very good job :upsidedow

I passed over this thread several times as one of the numerous who gives a shit threads I see here daily.

I finally watched it.

Holy. Shit.

That's amazing.

well said :winkwink:

I could fly it like that too....... but it would be hitting the ground a hell of a lot more.. and people would be running very fast in the other damn direction. lmao

What an RC can do does not mean the real deal can do. Big difference in power ratios etc.

I recall a day in RC airplanes and helicopters where you had to have the inverted flight tanks to do that crap and even then it was not stable.

Just put a bee in a jar and shake it, watch that for 1 minute. Same effect.

If you bought that same helicopter you would first have to dial down the power because you wouldn't be able to keep it from jerking around. Next you would have to switch out the rotors for none 3D for more stability.

You won't get past just lifting off and going forward and backward for weeks if you practice a lot and have a place to practice with little to no wind.

It will be months before you can do simple things like turn and fly around while the helicopter is facing sideways to you. Flying towards yourself will be after a year or more.

During that time you will destroy about $500 or more dollars in parts from batteries that just don't recharge to rotors you keep smacking into the ground. If you ram it into the ground sideways you might as well just buy another copter because the cost of replacing everything and then dialing it all in to be stable is more than the chopper is worth.

You cannot just replace linkages to the rotors and what not. Everything must be tuned so it will be stable or it will literally tear itself apart over time. The first to go will be the gears and then your sanity.

So... Don't waste your cash on a gas model if you are a newb. Just get a double rotor model that is very stable and would be considered a childs toy. It will allow you to inexpensively learn to fly perpendicular to the direction you are facing and eventually fly towards yourself without cutting off your head.

Damn thats crazy - mad skills.

crazy skills, glad to see he put it down smoothly so he doesn't always fly like that!

going to get a toy rechargeable one myself, everyone who gets one says they're great fun, from $20 - $100, probably go for a gyro because I've seen them spin around uncontrollably

Not bad, not bad.

Is that... real? I was watching it looking for clues that it was fake. The only thing I noticed was a weird video-lag kinda thing, and it looks like the flyer never even looks at the 'copter. Is that really real? Holy shit..!

or a simulator, which you can pick up for less than $150...tell you what those videos look amazing but once you try it for yourself, you realize the skills/talen these guys have to do those tricks

i see a video (ie like this one https://youtube.com/watch?v=np5XSTwv4vA) turn on my simulator, and dive that thing into the ground in 3 seconds ;)
