thanks for that!

Wouldn't like to be a little dude in that thing.

Someone please explain!!!!

Briefly !!!!

The rotor continues to spin in one direction
The angle of the blades changes allowing it to fly up or down ( or sideways ) at speed

After dozens of crashes and many thousands of dollars invested, you too could fly an RC Chopper like that.

Why you would want to is the big question. Good demo though.

What drives me mad is how hard that is, and people think it is easy as they flew a 3.5ch contra-rotating self stabilizing crap thing that cost $20.

It takes a long time just to hover a proper CP heli in one place. Let alone do even just forward flight..
This is extreme talent, control, precision and reaction time.

Is that his job application to US military?

That's what happens when you give it to your 3 year old to play with

Just imagine a bit scale up version and one day drones like that could dog fight military jet planes.
G forces inside could squash any competing fighter pilot.Our 100 mln F35 could not offend swarm of cheap jet drones ( same agility apply) , drones controlled safely from a distance by teenager that grow up on computer video games.

Yep...wont be long before can attach a gun thats trigger can be controlled with automation....and whalla.....easy crime. ...
Just walk down the street and get held up by gun point via drone
Not to mention sucide drones
If people start putting real thought into drones
You could have an army of them
I look forward to worshiping the new Gods, the drones and look forward to being enslaved by the tech geeks of the world

Years ago when electronic was not as good as now............(show my age) one of my mate, a chopper pilot had one of those RC nitro powered helico,
the buying price was scary at that time. He told me that the small one was harder to fly than the real one! Not sure what the go is with all the self-stabilising gyro etc.... technology build in them!

Way back, when I used to mess about with [disposable] R.C. toys at our private airfield near Houghton's winery, I had a couple of episodes like that.

Mainly because my sneaky mongrel lowlife mates all switched their crystals so they matched with my transmitter.

4 radios "controlling" 1 x dodgy home made aircraft was either impressive, amusing or downright scary [depending on your point of view]

I couldn't work out WTF was going on until the crew couldn't hold back from laughing.
