It's amazing to watch, the skill required to keep the heli in control is immense. Maintenance is also key, if one of the many ball joints fail it's more than likely curtains to the entire chopper and anything it hits.

This is one of my favourite videos, the pilot is Alan Szabo.

Woahh thats amazing!

Im slightly dizzy watching that, Ive noticed DMS Racing have a couple of RTF 3D Heli's for about £260. From what ive seen reveiw wise and clips on Youtube as a stock kit they look pretty damn good value! I dont assume for one second i could even attempt anything 3D like that very quick but my god they look alot of fun!!

I had a sceadu evo 50 and one of the original Trex's, I never got past hovering as I sold them after I saw a very close near miss with a heli and a pilot's kid. The buzz of flying is amazing though.

I went to the 2005 3d masters and saw some awesome flying, I might have to go along again but I've no desire to fly anymore, I'm sticking to the cars.
