Distinctly average.

I thought it was pretty cool

Lets see you do better.

i wanted to see it crash at the end

My first response was "holy shitballs"

He might be good at flying, but those maneuvers are the result of gyros and computer assited radios.

Nobody can do those things that close to the ground just using skill.

 

[alien42]

i wonder how many he has crashed

ever try to fly a rc helicopter? no? then dont talk

<--- has a 3D rc helicopter

Yes I have, i had a Schluter Heli-boy back in 1980 or so. I knew people who could fly inverted, do rolls, etc, back when the radio didn't do half the job for you.

how does the radio know the exact position and location of the heli?
its not a two way communication

sure gyros make flying a lot easier - but its still very difficult just to not crash

the closeness to the ground doesn't even relate to the gyros - the gyro just corrects the yawwing created by the torque of the main rotor

I'm not an expert on what the modern radios can do, but I know enough to know they combine various control inputs, that are extremely complex otherwise, into relatively simple controls.

I didn't say it was easy, I said the guy was skilled. But the maneuvers he does are impossible to do without the radio combining several control functions, through mixing etc, into a single control.

Additionally, I'm pretty sure sequences of manuevers can be programmed and operated by throwing a switch. The pilot only has to concentrate on not hitting the ground, the computer and gyro handle stability and multiple inputs needed to say fly a heli inverted.

These radios/gyros are so advanced now, it is literally possible to fly heli by computer, with no analog human input.

Hyperbole




Not wanting to discredit the pilot, IIRC computer transmitters for 3D helis have kind of an 'inverted' mode that you can flip over so that the controls work the same way when the heli is inverted.

You've got to be impressed with this guy's abilities, if not for speed of reaction alone.
