  • I met Chuck a few years ago when he was just a regular guy. Now he is surrounded by a bunch of wannabees and followers who thinks he is a god because he rolls and loops a BO 105. I saw him strutting his stuff at HAI this year and I wondered why he changed so much.

  • Rainer Wilke is much better than him.. BOO ya :D

  • I don´t know what is so special about the rotorhead and the composite blades!? Every BO105 has them! I´ve read aninterview with Rainer Wilke

    watch?v=VY5uPlRcAX8

    and he did not say anything about modifications....

    By the way, he does a salto forward!

  • Great story and enjoy watching helo aerobatics. Question, do all helicopter pilots have that big ole walrus mustache?! Cause everyone I see seems too. Keep on flying!

  • How much for one of those rotor heads? I'm guessing $250,000

  • Berndl: Ja, ja, ja. And the pilot said as much. It's still pretty amazing for rotary heads to bend their minds around. As Aaron said, this is a beefier version than the stock MBB. But yes, the German aerobatic team caused jaws to drop when they first started doing their routine in '86. Tatsachlich! -Bob

  • what is new about that?? Nothing....its just IMPRESSIVE

  • What is new about that? In 1986 german helicopter worls champion did this already!
