That guy has some mad skills, real helicopters can't do half that stuff though, anything more than about 1 negative G force on the rotor and they snap.  It's because of this that doing a loop in a chopper is so hard, it constantly has to be pulling through the entire loop, it can't let gravity take over after the 90 degree mark.    Cool video though, thanks!

yeah, RC Helos can pull a negitive pitch on the rotors, and they can hover upside down....

I have a buddy that has a couple and i've tried to fly them, its hard...

I prefer how Curtis Youngblood flies compared to that guy, but thats just because Curtis Youngblood is about a million times less jerky.


and without a really nice electronic Gyro(s) (that the guy is obviously using), he would have alot more tail wag with alot of what he's doing.
