Swift 550 beachfront sportflying

Swift 550 electric r/c heli- basic sportflying at the beach on the western side of Okinawa. Thanks to Harrison H. for shooting the video. Camera is a Panasonic DMC-ZS3 using the MOV HD format. No editing- it's entirely raw, so no music soundtrack that UTube can get in a tizzy over.

it is FBL, w/o electronics control?

[gadget01]

I'm using an Sk-360 for FBL stabilization.

Power is 6s lipo, Hercules 5A BEC @ 6v, Jazz 55A ESC, Scorpion 4020 motor w/9t pinion, 3DX FBL head, RotorTech 550mm carbon blades, JR Vibe 140º swashplate, BLS 451 cyclic servos, gy401/s9254 on the tail, AR7000 receiver linked to a JR x9303. All-up flying weight is 2980grams/ 6.5lbs.

and you are satisfied with SK-360, you think that it is a good choice?

[gadget01]

The Sk-360 is an excellent value and performs very well. I recommend it without hesitation. If you are an all-out piro-flipping 3D pilot, the Sk-720 (3-axis) controller will be a better choice, but it is not yet available. When it is, you might find some good deals in the forums for used 360's from those wanting to upgrade.

Hey Captain,

@4:58 I'd swear rotor stopped in free fall.

Nice in HD for sure. Sounds windy for added challenge.

Cheers
