Learn to Fly 3d RC Helicopters

I am in the process of recovering from one the most amazing weekends of my helicopter career. Four days at TORCHS helicopter club attending OHB 2015. There was so much to do this year, that they had to extend it to four days this year.

Thursday was pretty much taken up by the speed cup, which was really cool to watch. Some of those speed machines are just crazy fast, and sound really mean. I was beginning to think that they were too fast for even @Crash Heligod to catch, until Justin Pucci`s Diablo Speed tossed a tail rotor grip and went down in the trees and...
Get some kleenex guys..

The new one from SAB makes me speechless. Its claimed to be the fastest rc heli in the world. In the second vid you see a beta version in action but they didnt say how fast is was.

The aerodynamics are incredible. Fuselage made of three parts with a perfect fit. Even the front part has to be tightened with screws before every flight to avoid any aerodynamic loss. This is not funny.. Yeah, its made for competition only!

There are only three beta versions made so far. A complete setup will cost over 3 grand.. Holy moly!! :D

Here is Nabils (@gonehelimad) piroflips. He has been working so hard at attaining them and i am very supprised he has come this far... Only through daily routines and persistence is this possible-and @gonehelimad has done a set number each day. But note to everyone, it is possible. I believe that anyone on this forum - if they apply them selves on the sim - can attain this maneuver. Its not easy to attain but well worth the effort.



Well done @gonehelimad
funny how this site popped up out of god knows where. I'm an ejected member of one other heli site, member on 3 others and see names here that I had not seen in awhile on one or another of them.

This site must be relatively new, heli gods, very funny, very poignant, you have no idea right now how this has gravity,

cool

Today helicopters are pretty refined. We have many different helis and most of them are great if you assemble them right. For some reason however there is allways a cursed heli - one that crash heligod has touched for example.

So what heli have you owned that you could never get right. Which one has given you the least amount of enjoyment. Did you ever just give up on a heli?
Hi there

There is a new update available for Phoenix 5. The flight phyisics changed! It feels realer now to me.. More pop, more crisp in the behavior of the models.

Kind regards,

BBC NEWS reported an incident where a toddler was hit by an RC Drone. With the popularity of drones and their simplicity to fly statistically its inevitable that we will most likely see more issues like this in future.
