Superb control of the chopper. That really really tough to do

Shame about the fire though. Nice piece of kit.

I liked the upside-down hover, about a centimetre off the deck...

Outrageous! I tried building an ekranoplanz (look it up ) but it was too heavy to lift off.

yea but it cost when you screw that inverted hover up

just stacked one of mine doing it.

off fot 220 quids worth of parts to rebuild.

That second clip in particular is almost unbelievable. The degree of control is just staggering.

[roop]

Yep, I fly Raptor 30 v2. Was planning on upgrading to a R90, but bought the RS 500 instead Slight price differential, but who's counting...?

upgrad the 30 to a 50 nearly thr same repair cost as 30
pluss the power to weight ration is very good a 50 will nealy keep up with a 90


just building the 90se at the moment.

[catso]

I reckon he dould cut his lawn with that, but surely a Helicopter flies by the rotor giving uplift, so how does it fly upside down - can the blade pitch be altered that much? and if so can a real Helicopter do it? as I wouldn't want to be in it if it could

[anhamgrimmar]

i think the lynx can(could?) do a loop, when modified with a special rotor set, but never heard of a real chopper sustaining inverted flight.

[roop]

Nah. If I'm going to do it, I'll do it properly. I'm more into flying scale than 3D so I'll be going for a Vario Agusta 109 / Jet Ranger / Dauphin, or perhaps even an R90 with the Hughes 500 kit on it.

The 30 does everything I need from a heli in terms of performance. I do fff, loops, rolls, stall turns, upside down circuits, nose in, out, 90° hovers and the same inverted. Not really interested in progressing the 3D any further, wanna fly something that looks like a nice model now.

Seen it at airshows, doesn't do a loop as such, but climbs to an almost static vertical position and then sort of falls over backwards, if that makes sense, into a vertical descent and then levels out
