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.

Great idea... er.. where do you live?

Ah ha!

Give the rest of us 2 months and then I'm in!

snjbird · 02-08-2010, 06:46 PM

I guess I'll go first... I'm still a novice but I'm having fun!

peweepete · 02-08-2010, 06:59 PM

Great video snjbird!!
I aspire to be a novice like you!!!
Modesty, modesty.

Slyster · 02-08-2010, 06:59 PM

Would my sim movie count? (it's a winter storm outside.. literally!)

Novice

??? Yeah Right

Super cool flight man, Well Done

Jason Krause (Spelling???) Does some pretty amazing controlled flights as well you guys should check him out

Punkin71 · 02-08-2010, 07:15 PM

one word sly, smoooth!

snjbird · 02-08-2010, 07:19 PM

Sly we'll let ya run with that, but in the spring, if this thread is still around, you have to change it out for a "real" video... nice job!

jhheli · 02-08-2010, 07:22 PM

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

Oh for sure.. I've been working on the 8 orientations for 1-3 hours per night now since winter has started (over 2 full months with 2 more to go) I PLAN on making that sim a reality... (I hope)

snjbird · 02-08-2010, 08:38 PM

OK guys just want to keep this on track... Videos of you flying, I know Jason is a inspiration to many freaks, but this thread is about us, the Freaks.

Slyster · 02-08-2010, 09:30 PM

By the way.. superb control Snj... how long have you been flying and how many flights? I am always curious about progress.

snjbird · 02-08-2010, 09:59 PM

It will be three years in June, I have flown every day work ,weather, or weddings didn't get in the way! That heli has more time sliding threw the grass beating it's self up than most 450s have in the air! LOL! It was my first real heli, there is not one of the original parts on it, but that canopy has been around since November of 2007

My total flight time, is up around 450 hours, and I have no idea how much time on the sim. I have two 5 gallon buckets full of broken parts! I'm a bit of a "slow learner"

Slyster · 02-08-2010, 10:32 PM

WOW! man you are dedicated!.... and I have hope!

snjbird · 02-09-2010, 05:55 AM

I do love the hobby, but I do not make a good marker pole, many of my field mates have flown for less time and are better!

RCTada · 02-09-2010, 06:34 AM

Here's mine, nothing fancy, still learning on my Hirobo Shuttle Sceadu.
