T-REX 700 Nitro (petrol) HUGE remote control helicopter aerobatics

Hi all! as a change to my piano videos i'll be uploading some other videos based on other... well 'legitimate' hobbies of mine. this is a video i made of a man flying his TREX 700 nitro helicopter. made of aircraft aluminium and carbon fibre, these helicopters are about the largest toy you'll find in commercial mass production. this pilot has spent almost 10 years flying model helicopters, and really has it down to a 'world class' art. you see some manouvers in this video that have you question the models susceptability to known physics. these helicopters however fly with up to 50 g's of turning accelleration, when just 10g's would kill any person. this is why you'll only ever see this kind of flying in the unmanned stuff. in this video, the helicopter did passes up to 140km/h (recorded on a police speed radar gun someone brought with them!).

This is not nitro or petrol, this is electric. No smoke and sounds totally different

@ChrisJGriffiths Thanks man i dont know what i was smoking when i wrote Nitro in the description. The same pilot has an identical T-rex 900 in nitro, exact same livery and everything, i must have been mistaken when i was editing. I believe the electric has better performance than the nitro equivalent too, but less flight time.

so it is a nitro engine converted to petrol?

[legitimatehobbies]

@vanepico "petrol" was put in the description for the majority of the general public who would not be familiar with what 'nitro' is. it's a combustible liquid fuel like petroleum, but burns like diesel fuel in that it does not have a spark plug, but is ignited by the compression in the cyclinder, aswell as the retained heat in the glow plug on the top of the cyclinder.

@legitimatehobbies There are two helicopters being used in this video. The one in the first part is electric, after that its a nitro model. At least, thats how it appears.

Either way, great piloting!
