Multiplex Funcopter flying above football field

Do you remember my last post about the Funcopter RC helicopter from Multiplex. Here is another one, having a camera onbord and flying above a football field. Nice. I think, a Funcopter is a good beginner helicopter for everyone how wants to start learning how to fly RC helicopter outdoor.

Light Flight

For all of you, who like helicopter with lights...

I think it is more important to spend your money on a quality helicopter to take the step form flying beginner to professional RC helicopters and put your effort into how to fly RC helicopter. What do you think?

Professional Video from the Mikado Helicopter Team

A very professional made video of the Mikado Helicopter Team. Cool music and nice camera work.

Is that a coal of a beginner? I bet! Lets go and practice <a href="http://www.how-to-fly-rc-helicopter.com">how to fly RC helicopter</a>.

How to attach a training kit on a RC helicopter

This is a nice squidoo lens on attaching a training kit to a helicopter. On thing to remember. To also secure tail rotor make sure the beams are longer than the tail. But it is absolutly recommended to put on a training kit when you are learning how to fly RC helicopter.

How a disfunctional gyro looks like

Take a look at this video. That is how it looks like, when a gyro is not working correctly.

Good to see such cases. Then it is easier for a newbie to find out, why he or she has problems in learning how to fly RC helicopter.

Flight show form a golf cart

People are really watching this form their golf cart! Or was it done on a golf course? Anyway, it is amazing how this guy can fly. Unbelievable. Watch when he lands the helicopter. It is almost like he already turns off the engine midair and smoothly glides down. I want to know how how many helicopter he has crashed before he has learned to fly RC helicopter in that ultimate perfection.

Learn how to hover a RC Helicopter

I found this video on youtube demonstrating on how to hover a RC helicopter. Good start when you are about to lern how to fly RC helicopter.

http://rchelix.com/learn-how-to-fly-rc-helicopter-first-hover.html

In this video we get to in the future HOVER your RC helicopter. The basis of hovering moody have been explained as good as afterwards demonstrated for you.

I is very well explained what to do. Unfortunatly not a good video quality.

A RC helicopter doesn't need a tail rotor!!!

I just found that on youtube ()


Here's an Aeronautical Design Project Test. I made it simple, at the time and it worked fine. This and the Hyperfly are Flying Machines, NOT helicopters and NOT designed to hover. Benson Gyrocopters fly similar and were also NOT designed to Hover!. Hopefully you will understand the purpose and reason behind my extremely simple design when RC electric helis were brand new inventions. We were trying to make it easy not hard.
Remember, this was 30 years ago! 
Today, I did this for fun, a challenge, and because of the lousy weather. I decided to take the tail rotor off my Exceed RC Falcon 40 helicopter and add a foam picnic plate to it instead. 
This was how I invented the Hyperfly NOTAR for Kyosho. I thought the Falcon 40 would be a good candidate to try it on. Here is what happened. 

My Hyperfly design was purchased by Kyosho in Japan and had a rather long and successful sales run in far East and USA, of about 8 years.

Since there were no gyros or anybody that could help much with the fledgling electric helicopters in those early days, the RC airplane guys only wanted to fly my gas ones once up in the air.. 
Once I had the heli up and flying (like an airplane) they could fly around. Helis fly similar to an RC plane in forward flight.

But I always had to land it, cause I could hover and they could not.....and it was my heli! LOL.

For this reason, I designed the Hyperfly, just for forward flight. 
However, with a speed control and a little wind, you could even hover it very nicely. 
I hope you enjoyed this test and demonstration video. 
I sure had fun as it was nostalgic for me too.




The Falcon 40 or other small helicopters will work fine for this.
See Xheli.com http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3235026-...
Bet your friends, 'cause most would (and have) said it wouldn't work. 
This design was patented jointly with Kyosho and I.
Now, go exercise your minds and develop some anti gravity RC equipment! 
Thanks for watching.

Amazing what a small onboard camera can take for videos

Just fund this one. The amazing thing here is, how still the vidoe is. No shaking, no vibration. Realy cool. Not exclusively for large RC helicopter.

Nice Toolbox for RC Helicopter Pilots

Look, what I found on Youtube. A pretty cool tool box for RC Helicopter Pilots. It's cool to have some tools with you when you are out in the fields with your helicopter. Especially if you are new to this hobby just about to learn how to fly rc helicopter and don't have lots of tools jet.

Control stick configuration on a 4 channel rc helicopter

This video explains how a 4 channel transmitter works on a rc helicopter. Don't let you irritate about 6 channel in the headline. Channel 5 and 6 are probably gyro trimming and motor speed. If you want to learn how to fly rc helicopter, this video gives you a short introduction into the control stick configuration.

Coax helicopter review.

Hi,

take a look at that video of a very good review of the UDI U807 3ch
Micro Coaxial Helicopter made by RC Video TV.
Its a nice helicopter to start with when you are about to learn how to
fly rc helicopter.
