Danny Szabo Electric Helicopter 3D RC Stunt Flying Crash

[paulfityo1]

sick flying but the guy talking makes me laugh . what a dummy face

[kirkhammetthellyeah]

i like how the guy says "he over did it" right before it crashes hhahahaha

[kirkhammetthellyeah]

:59 hes just "suffin" that thing...? what?

[kirkhammetthellyeah]

wtf?!? how is this possible?!?!?

[tcanojr]

there is no such thing as over doing it....! A true pilot knows its going to happen....

[tcanojr]

there is no such thing as over doing it! every pilot knows its going to happen...

[TheGusto69]

Allan Szabo is related to Danny? Brothers or something?

[Sharma17]

Oh man wow. Unbelievable control! ,,, such an unlucky crash though after showing how cabable he really is, not a problem doing constant rotor tilt switching,, but an unlucky concrete clip on a low hover..

[themagichomie]

holy moly that dude is awesome!!!

[deimos2k6]

yes, nice... I've seen stuff like that from Lucas Riva in Ozzano (Italy) this year, he uses T-rex 600 and 700, man, that guy really touched the ground with the rotor shaft, I almost believed that his heli would rip apart for the G accelerations he was performing. just search for him on youtube, you'll be amazed! :)

[TrevJonez]

im just getting into 3d heli flying but damn you have to love quality align heli's!

[Cunninghamn8r]

with 3d helicopters do u have throttle and blade pitch both on the throttle stick?

[toddsher2112]

I believe they have a fixed rotor speed and the stick that RC airplane pilots use for throttle is what controls pitch.  They turn the rotor on with a switch.

[Cunninghamn8r]

thank you very much ; )

[jakethecakesnake]

as you raise the throttle the pitch goes up, but when in throttle up or idle up mode it changes the pitch to - when you have the throttle stick at 0, so 0 throttle is actually -11% pitch and 100 throttle is +11% pitch if that makes any sense (by 0 throttle i mean the stick all the way down and at 100 throttle i mean the throttle stick is all the way up)

[leepordgeko]

It's called idle up or "stunt mode" it increases the head speed to a certain rpm and attempts to hold it there and then at neutral stick for throttle the pitch is a 0 degrees meaning you pull the stick down negative pitch which means you can fly upside down.

[frankovich213]

@Cunninghamn8r You had it right the first time mate and then everyone gave you complicated answers.

Yes Throttle and Pitch are on the same stick and both are controlled at the same time.

When the throttle stick is in center position, the rotors are both flat (0% pitch). Moving this stick up or down from center position will change the pitch and also the motor rpm.

All 'Idle Up' does is puts the motor up to full rpm and this means the throttle stick is left to control the pitch only.

[chuanist]

@Cunninghamn8r yep—throttle and main blade pitch is controlled by one stick, the left if you are flying mode 2.

[fragmentate]

@Cunninghamn8r -- Yes, in "normal mode" the stick controls both throttle and pitch. From 1% to about 50% there is no pitch applied at all (some start with a slight negative pitch, in fact). After that, you control altitude with 45% of the stick. This, of course, can be changed in the transmitter.

In "idle up" you flip a switch that holds the throttle at high RPM. You then center the throttle stick. Above 50% is positive pitch, below 50% is negative pitch.

[ravijagdev]

nice flyin :)

[smasher9000]

omg

[orangecounty60]

holy heck.

[Kovaji]

Slick flying from Danny, never mind the crash.

[warderseeker]

Everybody crashes, doens't matter how good you are. Watch the video response, if the channel approves it

[GamesBeforLife]

its always nice to see that the pros are human and can mess up

[440vanman]

ya i bet he can.t nose in hover hahah

[dedspiderfsh]

I love how he straightens out the blades at the end, like he's getting ready to fly the friggin thing without a tail boom! ha ha. Nice flying tho, Danny, I'm envious.

[14cyproit14]

so he can carry it by the blade grips...

[pmv123456]

What setup Danny use in your trex 600 at this flight???

[justinRkeaton]

usually danny and alan and or jason krause usually fly all stock machines, so they can show the performance of it with out upgrades, id say it was a stock esc that comes with the 600e and the stock 600xl motor. but i could be wrong,

[0urGaia]

Amazing

[Stunts08]

what happened that cased the crash

[toddsher2112]

... but the flying was amazing, and from a spectators point of view, the best way to end a demo is either to 1: hover it inverted .5 inches off the ground, or 2: crash the thing, which is most easily accomplished by attempting to hover .5 inches off the ground when there are wind gusts like there were that day. Either way, the crowd is cheering!

[elitecol69]

what do u mean he showed off to much?!?! your a dickhead!! its called extreme 3d flying and thats what its about. learn the skills and use than. like saying a swimmer swims to fast?? what the???

[toddsher2112]

Like a swimmer? That's a lame comparison! A swimmer doesn't usually die if he swims too hard.

If you push a chopper too hard, it dies; that's what the announcer was commenting on, that the tail booms sometimes flex and get into the blades, and if you push a chopper to it's limits, it's a complex machine that can fail in many places.

It also fails if you flip it upside down and chew the blades into the pavement! :)

[satellite98]

eat shit

[satellite98]

right on !!!

[vanepico]

screw the crash, brilliant flying on his part :)

[labtecftw]

bloody cheater

[oxyking]

I spot a hacker too. Bloody cheater I say.

^^. I though asians where the king of hackers these white boys also have tricks up their sleeves.

[dopevillan]

that was sick. too bad he faged himself at the end.

[juliowalkera]

me gustaria aprender a volar así mi heli pero sin tantas catastrofes,

[civic1269]

si el choca me imagino que yo lo esbaratare

[eagl3z]

Got h4x? :DDDD

[stankinlincoln]

Ah that sucks. Oh well I'm sure he has alot of other freebes coming.

To quote: "HOLY HECK!" Now if only I can hover my cp2...

[bethardd]

Sponsorship = tons of free toys, money, paid trips for two and experimental pre-release parts. He won't pay a dime and probably has two or three more backups at his pit table son.

[yofacedid]

lol

[Velktron]

Even the great Danny Szabo can make a mistake once in a while...besides, he's sponsored :-D

[drenis2]

Holy Heck?? xP thats new

[dougsrccom]

HOLY HECK !!!

[H3llSpid3r]

OMFG you so god damn awesome!!!! Skill crazy skill!!!!!

[2Fast4U0921]

He's not the one flying. Danny Szabo is.

[degas]

iam gonna trade in my havoc for one of those!!! :)

[falling14]

holyshit

[JRCrowley]

Good flying regardless of bang-up. sht happens when you're on the edge :)

[ei2232]

I did this with a fixed pitch heli. Got it off the ground... threw the controls all over the place... and even crashed. My fight didn't last as long or look near as cool though.

[saleall]

waaaaat this Electric Helicopter had a powerfule electric motor didn't thought tthe electric helicopters was that powerfule....

[southpromise]

szabo-two words:super human

[drftdmon82]

danny is one hell of a pilot make sure to watch every single vid of him and his brother that you come across and on another not who here thinks that the camera man sounds similar to mr garrison from southpark? lol

[MidniteWarrior2007]

yeah his good but yeah theres a few guys that are better like this guys bro alan szabo jr

[viper221984]

hi every1 im heli flyer myself amazing flyin nice 1 shame about crash but still top flyer, in video clip from 1 min 57 sec's that stunt move does any1 know how i can get info on learnin on how to do that move? its amazing cheers

[dubspins]

i can tell you how....pm me

[MidniteWarrior2007]

you can't if you have to ask thats your answer you need years of understanding the controls of a heli

[viper221984]

cheers but that still doesnt answer my question ; Does any1 know where i can info on leanring 3D tricks specially rotating 3D pivot move its the 1 in video 1min 57secs into it???? cheers

[ei2232]

I know RealFlight has a flight instruction mode on it that teaches most of the tricks.

[zatoTWO]

lol I'm just learning hovering with my RC helicopter :D

[gary9895]

Thats somecrazy shit ... How ??? Amazing !

[axelroach]

scott grey is alot better

[chilesoplas]

simply fantastic

[lstruggy]

half man half amazing, still bummer for crashing:(

[YourPersonalGod]

About freaking time...... So the szabo is a human after all "I TOLD YOU SO!" LOL

[plasticavatar]

That was a lame crash video.

I've watched the videos of him flying before, and he's amazing.... so when I saw a crash video I thought "This ought to be impressive."

Good routine I've seen on other videos (and quite good camera work following the action), but lame for a crash video =(

[bmzmusic]

Amazing

[jodini5]

Awesome flying!  And in regards to showing off....that's his job! He's a champion demoing the T-rex 600 and besides....he's one of the nicest guys in the hobby!

[2Fast4U0921]

Danny Szabo is an amazing heli pilot. However, his brother, Alan, is a bit better. (IMO) That's the kind of stuff that happens in the sport. And YES, he is sponsored.

[speedflow]

like u can do any better?

[slama22]

very crap flying

[gmodesike]

jealousy will get you no where!

post a video of you flying better..and then talk smack!

do this before you write back with bs

remember..post a video of you flying better than this ..

then reply!!

;)

[rprier]

Must say that was some of the best low level flying I have ever seen! Must be sponsored because you have to be willing to donate it like you did in the end! Broke my Heart!! Great Flying! I don't have the guts to go that low!! You are the best I've seen thanks for sharing!

[bwinesradez]

LMFAO He did show off a bit too much....

[clbphllps]

you mean was...

[planebreaker]

Thst is a great heli !!
