Controlled Flight Video Challenge

snjbird · 02-08-2010, 05:29 PM

Ok, this may have been done before, but I thought it might be cool to see some videos of Freaks flying their helis in a very controlled manor. All the time we see videos of folks tearing up the skies, doing what looks like out of control 3D flying. What I would like to see is video of people flying symmetrical circuits, remote circuits, stationary piros, moving piros, eights, slow controlled flight, were we can see mastery of the basic eight flight orientations. I saw a video Finless posted with his 250 doing nice rectangular patterns at a very cool looking field in the mountains, If you read this Bob put it up so folks know what I'm talking about! If you have a video of this kind of flight post it up for the masses to view!

Ahhh a freak friend!
I am looking forward to this thread, I loose interest in videos where I can't make out what the heli is meant to be doing. Sure it is very impressive and very skilled but I too like the smooth flying style like Jason Krause.

In the beginning he does pretty much all the orientation, then he went crazy, Nice flying sly but that music put me to sl
