OH. MY. GOD! Holy chrome that was some fantastic flying! The bit with inverted flying BACKWARD was enough to fry my brain, and then he hovered it ON ITS SIDE!!! Amazing. I hesitate to even think about the G forces that little machine was handling in most of the demonstration. WOW!

Pretty amazing!
I wonder what the real world G forces were like during those stunts.

Woah. When the movie started I thought it was like clips of helicopters having problems and flying around out of control. And after a while it didn't blow up and I realized he was flying it! Those things are amazing.

Reminds me of the kind of agility you see in a dragonfly.

I want a RC helicopter now

Now I know what the MacNN hamsters have been up to. They've been taking copter rides.

That one was nothing compared to this one. Watch this one, and you will really be suprised.

YouTube - crazy Alan Szabo copter flight

This guy is a pro, he is very well paid to fly free equipment from suppliers. And he's only like 18 years old.
