I may try to get a video tomorrow. I'm going to get my sister to take some picture.
This is the first time I have EVER inverted a helicopter. Flown many others and haven't had the chance to.
I am getting a reciever for my Raptor (because I took it out to use in the T-Rex). So I am getting another one tomorrow and I will invert hthe Raptor when I get the curves set up right on that.
Thanks for the kind words. I need to get the bogging down to stop though.......I think I have too much pitch

yup...it doesnt take nearly as much negative to flip as you'd think. i went through about 3 packs figuring that one out. once you get it you'll find you hardly move the collective stick at all and can do repeated flips/rolls with ease and zero bog.
you can work on that when your knees stop shakin' ;)
good jorb.

Thanks cudaboy.
I did some more inverted flight this afternoon and got my sister to take some pictures.
I actually got about 3 ft from the ground and was hovering just fine. I've got alot of stick time on the sim, so I'm very familiar to inverted flight. It's just a LITTLE different when you have money on the line
