Re: This is the most ridiculous RC helicopter ever
Fucking amazing. Keep in mind that thing is electric, where as most are gas powered. It takes quite a bit more electrical power to do stuff like that than compared to a gas powered helo.

In the beginning where it spins up and you can hear it chopping air, he's actually got the blades at full deflection, basically forcing it into the ground. With the flip of a switch he inverts that control which flings it into the air. Nearly all of the tricks where he's quickly going back and forth on the up/down axis is done with that switch.

Keep in mind that his controls are always in whatever direction the nose is facing. Flying a helicopter is truly done in 3 dimensions.
