  • It is a kind of thin kite string and for damping the last 30 cm is some kind of rubber what they call here in Dutch "hoedenelastiek", litteraly "hatrubberband". It is a thin rubberstring with some texture around it. Rubber might break after a while, this doesn't. There is a special knot that doesn't slip out, in the form of an 8. In the celling are two rings where the string goes through and at the other end of the string a little weight that is just heavy enough to pull the string up.

  • This is a gutsy hilarious idea :) Good watching man :) But how about hanging it from a tree outside?

  • Yes, I got this idea from a friend (YouTube ID: fhwarle) who hanged his Trex upside down in a tree. But don't give to much negative pitch, because it will fly into the tree.

  • COOOOOLLLLLLL! Is it hanging by a rubber?

  • great idear nice one

  • Hi, good idea, what kind of string do you used?

    regards

  • Well thumbs up for having the guts to do it in your room man.

  • En ik maar moeilijk doen om in het engels te schrijven ^^ goed idee trouwens om zn soort elastiek te gebruiken... ik had alweer een stuk touw of nylon tussen mn wieken gedraaid om daar achter te komen XD

  • Well I was only joking about the string though.I`ve never seen anyone do that before, I think he is very clever too.I have a FF EP 100 too, but putting it together takes more time than I expected, so its grounded and now a walkera 52 is on its way so I can fly while I fix my firefox ep100

  • It's kinda there to help him to not crash while learning the control backwards depending on where the nose is pointing.. Nice heli, I'm totally excited to get mine home soon too!

  • FAKE.you can totally see the string..
