My first decent helicopter, got smooth once I leaned to the negative side. Short, mid-winter, California, acro run. Old Thriller20 with 105Kg take off weight.

This is Southern California. About an hour from Disneyland. We have two launches. One at 5,200ft and another at 4,000. Super consistent site. Not known as an acro spot but its good for it, I think. Most summer days we can thermal up and have a a few thousand feet, at least, to play with. Strong enough thermals to get even small wings high. So you don't always have to fly so low. On sled rides you get what you saw in the video. :) No water though, or cable cars. Winter is the least consistent time as the North winds blow often, but we have other sites nearby facing North so its not too bad. Very few days that can't be flown somewhere nearby.
Acro buddies welcome. Come on down. I can't wait. Our landing zone is in San Bernardino, California. Called Andy Jackson Airpark.
Hey! Where is this man? I'm not ready to travel in California (I'm in Quebec-Canada), but i'm always looking for some acro spots in North America...One day, I will go in British Colombia and in the West part of America to do some acro...but there is not sooo much sites where we can practice acro safely...let me know where it is...you could have an acro buddy a summer time.
Oscar,
I appreciate your concern, I do. Let me explain why I didn't think too much about it. I entered it as a simple sat and gave two pumps of rhythmic. This is super reliable for me. Like a simple sat, you never blow it once you know it. For me, helicopter or mctwist is not that way. I didn't, and wasn't going to, pump it up very high. I hope this makes sense.
If I am going to pump it up high, learning real tumblings, I definitely keep it high. But again, thanks.
Someday, I hope to do half of what all you guys do. For now, I keep watching yours and others videos. Thanks for everything. - Stephen
friend,your run are so dangerous, you need make tumbings with more altitude, is beter for first maniouver, and finally loop is less dangerous, and more easy. think about it.
