Why indeed.

Impressed with their helicopter flying skills. Still don't understand how a helicopter can fly upside-down.

'3D' helicoptors dont vary the speed of the rotor to control how much lift they get, it runs at a constant rpm and they vary the angle of the baldes

so, they can turn the angle of the blades to a negative angle and reverse the thrust that the rotor gives.... very clever!

You just reverse the pitch of the blades so they are pushing air in the opposite direction

Who's will? and does he deserve to have heli's smashed at him?


Top skills, good to see how stonrg the revo was as it just bounced back onto its wheels and carried on!!

Pidge, I think you have to much time on your hands.

Just keep thinking about the little japanese girls that you'll see in 2weeks.

.....and don't forget that shell at the weekend!!

The ability to use negative pitch was designed for autorotation (power the rotors from the air flowing over them during a decent without an engine) so you could emergancy land a helicopter, they got developed to a point to enable stunt flying and completely inverted flight though.

Good skills.

Now i'm thinking someone should hover a copter above your wall of death. First buggy to wipe it out gets a prize.

Interesting, although I meant why someone would want to smash a buggy into a hovering helicopter. Thanks anyway.

I must have a different idea of what is cool then. To me, it just looks like a waste of what appeared to be a perfectly functioning helicopter.

Maybe I'm just too old to understand.
