Hi  All,

Alan Szabo Jr. XFC 2008

 

How is that physically possible???

thanks for posting that vid 

that guy is just brilliant   

seen several clips of him in action, what he can't do with a R/C helicopter isn't worth doing

several years back i had a short spell with trying to fly R/C helicopters and well, all i will say is that it usually ended up
with me heading home with the helicopter in "component form" and not taken apart with a screwdriver     

needless to say i didn't stick with that hobby very long 

dave 

lost for words.....

just awesome really !

It`s harder than it looks!!! Took me about 3 months just to hover 5ft above the ground, 6 months to fly a figure of 8. After 2yrs can do a few stunts but nothing like that!

These are some pictures of me with my first helicopter - taken about 30 years ago 
I still have this beast along with quite a few others 
It is a great hobby and has kept me sane during my recent bad spell of ill health.
Flying at breakneck speed round the living room certainly hones up your reaction times.







The style of flying done by Alan Szabo in the video is called 3D.

This kid is Justin Lee, who was 7 years old in 2009 - have a look:

cheers John.

Puts a new meaning on drink driving thank goodness real choppers don't fly like that

Brilliant Vid Nick!

I did wonder how many heaps of junk he made just practising to get to that level.

That's rubbish. Neither of them can even fly them in a straight line. They both looked out of control and nearly crashed several times. More practice required I think. 

Very talented guy  there  as is the  7  year old it's amazing what the younger generation  can do   with  R/C     aircraft / cars &   helicopters
