Learn to Fly 3d RC Helicopters

Bit of a fantasy question really due to @Beaver raising the question in another thread. Could we build a real helicopter to fly like an RC Helicopter? Do we have the current technology and materials which could do this?

If we could, how would the pilot feel? Also imagine a full scale machine doing something like a rainbow!... I think it would be an awesome thing to see - i dont know how many Gs would be pulled in such a manouver.

Would there be any practical application for such a machine? I have always wondered why real helicopters don't have negative pitch
Joshua Labita just won first prize from the F3N helicopter competition. F3N is a very difficult disciplie to follow as it applies the precision of f3c mixed with the crazy of 3d maneuvers. Well done Joshua, you are now qualified as a Heligods Official Gun Pilot..

Well just wondering. Are people who fly RC helis switching to muti rotors? Some people are claiming the rc helicopter industry is in massive decline. Personally as far as our board goes, we are not being adversely affected at the moment- in fact probably the opposite.

So are the people who would normally take to rc helicopters being cut off at the pass by multi rotors because of their simplicity?

IMO i think that multi rotors will find their own niche and it may even encourage more people to take on RC helicopters because there are not many challenges associated with flying a quad...
Expo... to the beginner it means "huh?" and to the f3c pilot it means - precision!. But to the 3d pilot it means IMO approximation! Why? well when you are performing rolls and flips you need to try and make them symmetrical. Using an EXPO means that the rate of roll and flip will be non-linear.

So why do most gyros have EXPO on in their settings by default? then when people have expo enabled in their transmitter it becomes 2* as bad because the expos "ADD" to each other.

Everyone should check to make sure their expos in the transmitter and gyro are not adding.

So what is your take...
Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend the best couriers to use within Australia ?

As in ones you have used reliability etc?

Any help appreciated.
