I thought it was fake till I noticed the smoke flows as it should.

That is incredible! I wonder why the other guy was there? was he watching as a crew member or was he contorling something?

He made it look so easy....

they cant. unless somehow he had the rotora turning the other way. only thing about that that bothers me is around 3:25 where he is hovering upside down so close to the ground.... his rotors were barely spinning - not enough to keep that thing aloft i dont think. i dunno.

The blades can probably tilt enough to fly upside down without having to make them spin the other way. I don't know much about helicopers, though.

yeha i saw that he had the chopper tilted at a slight angle...but still i didnt think they could do that and as for the other guy maybe he was the one controling the other rotater to make it spin the opposite way when it was upside down...dunno

I think the other guy was just watching. Having two people controlling different parts would pretty much make it impossible to do stunts like that.

Heheh, that place is a couple of minutes from my house. That is pretty amazing that they can do that. The other thing that amazes me is they were doing that in windy conditions. The winds must of been around 15-20mph, not including gusts.

fake no...possible in a real helicopter...no...possible in an rc helicopter yes...the collective control is probably not like a real helicopter...in a real one is is a large metal plate that controls the collective...if you turn ur blades conpletely around....you accomplish the same exact thing as if they were normal this is 100% real GJ dude

Not all the way around, just enough to push the other way. How do they do it in RC helicopters?

Using the right servos makes anything possible. People can't believe how fast my throttle and steering is in my RC cars. I just happened to get the fastest ones available

they dont use a collective plate....i would assume that they use small electric motor to turn it
