That looks F-ing EVIL!
I like rlying thosevlittle IR and RC coaxial Helis the bigger ones are no fun but the bigger they are the bigger the price.
Do want to get a 3.5 or 6 axis RC Heli. I don't have the guts to try planes anymore cause idont have anywhere to use as a runway. The choppers don't need a lot of open are to take off or land

Besides turbines and 2stroke, they also make wankel rotary minis, think i saw one at a 0.49cc equivalent too. Heard they spin up to 22k rpm. Good for those cessna rc models. These little f'rs spin! Another dude was talking about his 11cc at 18hp. Nitromethane tho. And at 30 bucks a gallon, thats some expensive fly time...

Gallon would last quite a while tho... In most normal cases. The small sized engines don't use a ton of fuel.

Sorry i totally went AWOL after spaz showed me that video! INSANE,!! CRAZY,! I never knew a little heli could do stuff like that! Once again my minds been blown. (Guys realize I don't get out much? Lol) I watched a slew of videos yesterday of these awesome tricks they do. HOW LIKE HOW CAN A LITTLE THING MOVE THAT FAST AGAINST ITS OWN FORCE?  those helis that do those tricks, they are some type of aerobatics ... AND then how the hell does 2 joysticks allow you to do that. TRIPPYYYY |

So, who's got skills?
This (Russian?) guy is world champion RC heli pilot... I wonder if It'll be easier to practice on one of these 3Ds? Planes seem too scary.
A MUST WATCH

Knowing when to throttle up or down while pitching or yawing would be the worst part for me. Like, when that F-er is upside down, with the blades thrusting it toward the ground, do you throttle up, so it can overpower gravity, or throtltle it down so it isn't pushing down and hard? I imagine, like everything in life, it comes down to experience, and the ability to understand your machines putpose and it's limits.

I'm wondering if they even have a SET center of gravity LOL is that possible? It's like inertia doesn't exist either....

I imagine, like everything in life, it comes down to experience, and the ability to understand your machines putpose and it's limits. There's a lot to explain about heli's, so I'll give the short version on just RC heli's. Now a days they have one or two set throttle positions and no matter your pitch angle, it keeps the blades spinning at whatever setting you have it set on. It's all computerized now. In the olden days  as you increased pitched it would throttle up to counter torque, and the good radios you could set curves on the amount of throttle for pitch angle and it took hours to get it set correctly. Flying inverted wasn't really possible until the computerized radios came along because it's like writing upside down with super human speed. Now it's as simple as flipping a toggle switch, which the 3D flyers are masters of. New, faster, lighter and more powerful servo's are responsible for the lightning quick attitude changes. With carbon fiber blades and precision rotor heads being so light and strong these heli's pretty much don't have limits. Boom strikes, where the blade would flex and hit the tail rotor boom, are almost non existent. |

Mines just an electric three axis coaxial deal I traded my three Syma s107s for. About ten or twelve mi utes of air time. Sick fast. Was used to slow and graceful curves but these things are more like humming birds on crack

yeah, after watching a few vids, the whole pitch percentage thing isn't easy to understand for me. It DOES seem like it would take hours to preset everything. - hummingbirds on crack? I swear the hummingbirds here are on uppers all day! They come shooting at us then dart away LOL There should be a thread for the codes of smileys hehee, learn something new everyday |

Sounds like a whole lot of work and research ahead of me in this RC game  with pilot hours .... heheee I'll make myself a brace heli track kinda thing to keep it on the ground. Y'all know what I'm talking about? Then move onto the crossbars with bouncy balls on the ends for safe landing. YA YA YA LAUGH IT UP. Wait till I post my training Vids  Hopefully somebody watches them .... |

My birthdays in May 🙂 Hopefully I'll get my own heli and not get it stolen from hubby. He was talking about buying an expensive heli. I said if we are going to do that then we better be training ourselves, and not freeflying it until we can atleast pickup on the controls a little better. Baby- steps  |
