And ofcourse that Justin Chi is there on you tube too.

Flying a heli (like this) is really some other kind of spatial intelligence. First you gotta be real clear in the head. Second, you gotta have a clean direct fiber optic connection between your eyes and your hands. Pretty impossible for me right now. I cant even hover facing right.
I thought I was good in hovering facing left but yesterday, I sat in a different position in the room and what do you know, I cant fly facing left anymore. Then I saw the stick movements of Alan Szabo and I sat in a corner and cried! sniff! lol.

Omgggg. I dont know if I even have it anymore. I used to be quick before but I'm slower now. Not sure, it could be the Carbon Monooxide I once suspected came out of the heater. Or it could be I'm not sleeping well. In any case I wonder if I can ever fly like these wizards. I'm sure you all are great too.

Oh well, I will try to learn to hover facing right in the next 50,000 years. Then do it facing me which is probably impossible.

Really, those stick movements were amazing and unbelievable. And that Justin Chi is smaller than the heli he flies!

Humility is not one of my favorite dishes, and I hate people that force me to eat it for 3 meals, desert, and midnight snack. He is one of them.

I have to agree I am a newbie and when I see what some of these guys do:noteworthy And they do it without blinking an eye. Even some of the vids that fellow freaks do is incredible. All I want to do is be able to keep my heli in the air, that's what makes me happy:thumbup:

anyone know how long szabo's been flying and whats required to get to were he is. I know, lots of practise is needed, but did he do any special training or was it all just one day after another, adding more and more to his skills.

Interview in RcHeli mag he states: Flying airplanes since he was 4 or 5, been flying helis for 9 years. Got his first heli on his 12th birthday.

It's all a matter of time guys.

I've been downing atleast 3 packs a day and atleast an hour a day on the sim and after 3 months I can hover inverted tail in quite well.
It's one of those hobbies that if you want to get better you've gotta put in the time...

I'm lucky for work I get given a vehicle and do nothing most days, so I drive around to the local industrial area :P
