New Walkera 4F180

Take a look at the new Walkera 4F180. Quad blade and 3 blade tail rotor. The guy from Xheli.com is a real good pilot and the presentation is awesome.

RC helicopter from the early 1970's

We are now talking about 3D helicopter, battery powered and the size of a palm. Try out this video from youtube, showing a RC helicoper from 1970's. Isn't that incredible?

Radio Control helicopters had a rough start back in the early 1970′s. They were primitive vehicles compared to what’s available today and just only had enough controllability to hover or perform slow, forward flight. This heli is an example of the USA’s first commercially produced and successful operational model, the Whirlybird 505 designed by Dave Gray and manufactured by Du-Bro, makers of accessories for R/C model airplanes. There is no gyro connected to the tail rotor as one would normally find on a modern R/C heli, the engine rotates on top of the main rotor and the fuel tank rotates under the engine with no means of observing fuel level. If the engine quits, the heli falls as if a supporting string were cut. Flight time is strictly limited to six minutes for safety reasons. Thanks go out to Joel Rosenzwieg for shooting this video!

Obstacle course as method to train your pilot skills

Watch the second half of this video. Participants in a RC helicopter tournament have to fly through a obstacle course. I like the idea, because there you really train your pilot skills. Being 100% perfect is the requirement for 3D flying. That is a great way to learn how to fly RC helicopter.

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.

Nice Video with cool music.

... and of course a dam good RC helicopter pilot.

It is always amazing to see what people can do when they know how to fly RC helicopter.

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?
