TOP BEST RC Helicopters

Online social commentary (media commentary):

I was asked to make a video on how to fly Helicopters inverted. It actually is harder to explain than to show, so there are a lot of visuals here. I'm just a sports flyer, but maybe you will see something useful anyway. First off, make sure you can fly your helicopter upright and are very comfortable with it. Then practice on a simulator before trying it on your real model. That will help tremendously. If your just learning regular helicopter flying, you might like to refer to my original 9 helicopter tips and rules of thumb. Here they are: There is nothing special here, as this is all just common sense. 1. Never ever let friends fly your Heli. 2. Never watch the Tail rotor, unless inverted. 3. Don't let friends watch while your learning as they will egg you on to do stuff your not ready to do. "Hey Dave, will that heli do a Lomchevac?" 4. Don't fly the heli in forward flight before you learn to hover or you can expect to never get it back in one piece! 5. Always practice hovering at eye level where it is easier, not lower in ground effect. 6. Learn to pinch the left stick, as you can't afford to drop it, since it controls 3 things at once. 7. Always ease down the throttle. Remember, No chop stick, no bang boom! 8. Remember your last move if you get lost in the sun and hold the sticks it till you see it again. 9. Only fly as far away as you can see it comfortably, 'cause once it is out of sight it will also be out of control. Remember, "He who dares nothing, need not expect anything" and "If you continue to do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always gotten!" I prefer the German Aerofly sim, as it feels more like the real thing to me. There are several versions, some under $39 on SteamPowered.com. The less expensive ones have less planes and flying sites, but the graphics engine and algorithms are the same. If you order a dongle for your radio, you will find that most enjoyable, since your flying wirelessly, just like the real thing. I fly the Ultimate version of RC-7 which is $139 and there is an intermediate version called Professional that is only $99. Here is a link with a list of all of them. https://store.steampowered.com/search...



Happy flying and practice practice practice. Dave Herbert AMA L-8221 LM/CD/Scientific division.

Dave, you are truly a generous rc heli pioneer! Thank you for your many contributions to this community.
Always good to refresh knowledge and keep tips in mind, practise is key for sure. I still fly the simulator every now and then, crashing is free and no repairs needed. Stay safe Dave and enjoy flying
Brilliant video as always Dave ,Many thanks for sharing much appreciated :) you make it look so easy
Great video Dave. I was allowed to fly again today here in Western Australia after some restrictions were lifted. Did some inverted and 3D today.
Thank You for another video! I look forward to watching it later. :) I read the comments, and it is nice to see so many friendly and knowledgeable folks participating. I hope that one of the tips for inverted flying is NOT, to stand on your head. :) Just a little, well, very little humor to be more precise, in an attempt to brighten your day. I hope you continue to produce and share more videos in the future, especially helicopter-related productions. :) John
Great video! You make it look very easy Dave! Thanks for the video it was very informative!
Awesome to see a helicopter video from you , I been a subscriber of you for years. I love flying rc helicopters and learned a lot from your videos. I miss all the helicopter videos. Everything is about fpv and drones now. I¡¯m a diehard heli guy. I always enjoy your videos, keep them coming.
You have contributed greatly to this hobby. Thank you!
"Dave thank you very much for this interesting video, I will follow your advice and I hope to tell you soon that I can already do inverted flights with my helicopter.
just a very short time ago I asked you about this topic.
thank you very very much.
Greetings from La Paz BCS Mexico."
Dave, You make it look easy. I haven't been able to master a good hover yet.
Helicopter pilots are hands down the gods of the RC world Thanks for your top notch vids as always senpai
My first time flying Inverted even though it was on a nano cpx, was so satisfying, but I put many hours on a flight sim first. I dont think i could have done it without that. You need to build up muscle memory, other wise I think it's just too hard to achieve
I'm not sure why, but with both helis and planes, I get my orientation completely confused as soon as I invert, I guess I just need to start working on it once we start getting some nice weather over here. Great flying!
"Great video - thanks!!
I¡¯ve recently bought the T-Rex 450LP supplied ARTF with A10 transmitter.
There¡¯s no way I¡¯m gonna flick that 3D switch anytime soon!"
"Hi Dave,
Never did any inverted flying. I noticed at the 10:00 mark that Mike Mas was flying a Schluter Champion with two more parked. The Champion and Scout were my favorite helis. Still have both. Saw your broken foot, I broke my left hand 10/88 with a main rotor strike while practicing hovering in the back yard. It crushed the knuckle of my index finger and spent five days in the hospital. Took another nine months of therapy to get about half the movement back. Has been like that since. Stay safe."
Very helpful, this will sound like a lie but I learned to hover in two flights on a American RC helicopters (Super?) Mantis collective pitch heli. No gyros just a well designed helicopter
"Keep this channel alive, dont do like David McIntire who now has a higher calling and rc hobby is meaningless, and is doing nature videos, thats the worst middle age meltdown I have seen so far.

Thank you for staying true to your followers and keep the hobby alive."
Great video Dave, I can fly inverted on the Sim but I'm too chicken to try it with my RC heli lol...
Dave , what is a reasonable priced simulator to practice on. I was learning when I was living in Michigan and I moved to West Texas. It is quite windy here and I haven't been able to fly at all here. As I told a while back I am 72 also and I'm hoping that I can continue to learn. I have six channel and a 9 channel remote so that's what I'd have to use with the simulator. Any advise would be helpful. Thanks so much for doing the video.
"Hey my friend, Love the pic of Mike Mas doing the Tail Stand!
How is that even possible???
No air being pushed down"
Nice job with the video. Thank you. Semper Fi.
Excellent video
Can you add a link to the dongle you use to fly with you RC radio?
THANKS for the video it helped me a lot.
Can you recommend a good flight simulator? I would be happy to invest in one before crashing my heli. But chances are good that it's going to happen any way. Thanks!
That¡¯s a remarkable career
Thanks I love Helicopter flying
Yep, as easy as balancing a ball-bearing on small sheet of glass, while ice skating, with one arm tied behind your back..! Oorah
"Don't kick the errant helicopter......!" :)
It's all in the sticks, most of it anyway...
Yup
Hey Dave, how are you doing?
