World's first Ceiling Landing of R/C Heli (2002)

[1mrbikerman1]

@dave64ca The rotor is what supports the entire helicopter for all of the inverted and 3d flight, and there are plenty of side loads on it as well. Picking up the heli by the rotor isn't going to hurt anything unless you shake it around or something equally ridiculous.

[colbynikeman]

i think you have the camera man with a second control

[adkinsmp]

Why is the transmitter the size of a suitcase?

[adropbear09]

Look at the transmitter it's huge

[GuyofManyHobbies]

Worlds most expensive ceiling fan.

[airbagit13]

That is so cool, great job man!

[FAT979]

Awesome!

[birdmanbl]

love it brada

[tonyastro]

Wow first ever! What heli is this?

[jiuop]

nice

[WebsterFlyers]

Yeah...now shut off the power while on the ceiling..:)

Nice vid

[00Doug00]

WOW, really... Wow. That is awesome.

Hi,

I would like to know if the Honey Bee FP could go upside down, what do you think about it ?

Thx

[heligraphix]

A fixed pitch, rpm controlled heli will not go upside down unless you mount the blades the other way round (which you shouldn't do!) and start it upside down already.

[acambonie]

Ok, thanks anyways.

[Stunts08]

why not? i do it alot with my blade CX2, if your capable of flying inverted you can do it

[GoEflight]

@heligraphix done it with a CX2...scary but incredibly fun

[heligraphix]

@GoEflight Very cool - congrats! ;)

[mupfeleu]

RESPEKT!!

[carot2003]

Cool...

[RoboTekno]

more like the first rc ceiling fan

[rikuwillkillu]

ahahaha good one

[abulmagd3]

what is that rc radio tx, looks like a monster

[dave64ca]

Cool but your an idiot for grabbing it the by the rotor.

[GhayLikeHomo]

Where else do u suggest he grab it?

[43racer43]

thats wat she said lol

[simoaras]

Can't play table tennis...sucks, better not

[fishravioli]

WHat heli is that? It kinda looks like an Eolo

[heligraphix]

It's an Acrobat 10 manufactured by Ploechinger (German manufacturer). It was powered by 10 NiCd cells - back in 2002 this was state-of-the-art (and worked quite ok as one can see). ;-)

[danman789]

how do u make the helicopter fly upside down

[yak5408]

to make a heli fly upside down , you keep the rpm high and change the pitch so that they are completely opposite the the blade pitch creating downthrust , this creates up thrust. Hope this helps you . Nice flying.

[headgalskit401]

great handling

[drsheikhjunior]

Spider-Helicopter!!

[bratonabike]

fuck thats cool

[skid987]

Great flying man.

[nvidia1992]

cool

[marsbar1965]

could u get a bigger radio tx

[jerryma]

now that's pretty damn cool!!!!

[yensteel]

next time, a wall! :p

[zer0mind]

regardless of who did it first, thats a cool trick. well done :)

[lounova]

Nah, sonat6 (or type in blade cx pro)has got you by about 8 days.

[FlyBoy276]

That wasn't a ceiling landing. He flipped the blades over and placed it on the ceiling by hand. If he wasn't actually flying, it isn't really a landing, is it? =P

[roughworm]

actually the guy added negetive pitch to the blades and slowly added more negetive pitch until he had enough power to sustain the heli to stay on the ceiling. if you knew anything about r/c heli's you'd know that anything with a Collective cyclic pitch are capable of this and hovering inverted...

[FlyBoy276]

I was replying to lounovas post, where a guy with a CX Pro (not CP) flips the blades and places the heli on the ceiling by hand, not this video. Indented post = reply to the post above it. Duh.

[mikiemike102]

yep roughworm :) damn that heli is so old haha sounds like its low power time to upgrade hehe.

[gmodesike]

flyboy you are a dumbass and roughworm is exactly right!

[FlyBoy276]

Are you people slow or something? Click the link that says show all posts and LOOK at the post I replied to! "lounova" Was talking about a guy with a CX..NOT a CP doing the same thing, so I said THAT guy just flipped the blades upside down because a CX is NOT collective pitch. Read before you comment, please.

[FlyBoy276]

..and by flipped the blades upside down, I mean reversed the motor. Flipping the blades wouldn't do anything, I don't believe.

[FlyBoy276]

The video is still on youtube. The title is "blade cx ( PRO )". Watch it. THAT video isn't a real landing. THIS video (the one you're bashing me on, right now)IS. You can't even agree with anyone on this site without getting shit talked. lol

[gmodesike]

yes i know what you are talking about, but you are aware that 3d helis can fly upside down right? the blades move to either suck up or down.

[FlyBoy276]

Ive have and have flown a CP heli for almost a year now. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has broken a skid or two from lowering the pitch to negative on accident in idle up/stunt, so yes, Im aware. =P

[gmodesike]

well ok then ;p

[puggster]

very clever *claps* yay
