from what I hear those things are hardest R/C vehicle to control. Yet he did it like it was attached by a stick. I mean how do you get a helicopter to hover upside down and only an inch if not less off the ground. Simply amazing :rockon:

I don't wanna pull the BS flag or anything, but I am a little skeptical.

I mean, in order for the helicopter to hover upside down, the rotation of the blades would have to completely reverse, otherwise it would have gone striaght into the ground. Can the blades on one of those go into a counter rotation that quickly?

If it's real, that dude is GODLY! =)

*Edit* Just finished watching the whole thing. Looks real to enough to me =)

The rotors dont change direction they change the pitch to get it to go upside down.I have a friend that custom builds them and he said it takes most people a year to get the hang of just the basics.He said he has seen many of guys go to hospital because they fly into them selfs when they lose control.:lol:

He also builds RC off shore race boats that you have to have a real boat to chase it.He has one that runs like 80+ mph on radar.:eek:

watch it again....he hovers first(upside down), then sets it down on the blades (you can hear it)
