Was at the park earlier with the chillins. There's a vacant lot adjacent. The was a guy dinking with a radio controlled helicopter...doing his "pre-flight".... Anyway, he had been there when we arrived...and he was still dinking with it for a good 15 minutes after we arrived. Anyhoo, he finally gets it airborn and well....the entire mission went like this: neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer...splat.

He packed everything up and went home.

poor bastard.

It would be cool to see one of those newer turbine RC jet crash and burn, those things can hit 200 mph. Nice little missle

Here's a neat application for a RC helicopter...

 

[skatetokil]

people get decapitated by those things pretty regularly

 

[syadasti]

These things could probably cause some carnage

I have an electric rc car that I need to put back together.

i guess he has a little bit of practice to go before he can do this

That sucked, you can shoot everything and nothing actually blows up.

Wow. Got any shots from the chopper?

 

[DaveW]

Would you get much camera vibration off that chopper?

They use RC helicopters as crop dusters here. Heard one this morning actually. The fields are too small for conventional cropdusting planes. Pretty big RC helicopter though I must add.

Look at the flag and the insect flying around, its regular motion, not sped up.

That's how emergency medic choppers should pick up and drop off patients.

I had no idea that was remotely possible. Sweet sassy molassey!

Neither did I....but I thought about it. if he has a symmetric airfoil, it would be possible. You would just need lots of movement in your collective pitch.

So is that your secret to picking up on women ?

Damn. I was gonna use that...

It's allll about the collective pitch... and plenty 'o movement...
And the swashplate gyration of course

Ahh. It's all clear now.

There is a remote control track like that near one of my local BMX tracks. I've sat there and wathed these guys race their little cars around a track like that. The guys I have watched weren't as good as the guy in the video, but their cars were moving pretty fast. I don't think the video was sped up.
