Flight aboard my Infusion 700N

Flight aboard my Infusion 700N
Hi guys' got a new video for ya, got the wild idea of sticking my old GoPro Hero2 on the tail boom one of my helicopters. I was going to try it with my Trex 600N but it was a bit too close for comfort to the main blades so I tried my TSA which is much larger and it was perfect. It came out better than I though and it shows the action of the swash plate (The large aluminum piece that the links attach to) very well as the flight goes. It's a good birds eye view of how the thing works during flight. The governor is still hunting but this time was a gain (sensitivity) issue Hope you guys enjoy (Bandit)

Re: Flight aboard my Infusion 700N
Bandit...I spent a bit of my life as a helicopter mechanic, teacher of the maintenance, and crew member..
When I returned the this hobby I started in RC and desperately desired to learn well enough to be competent flying RC helicopters so I could model a few of my favorites like the UH-1H Huey, CH-47 Chinook, BO-105, and AH-1 Apache.... no soap...too old, poor eye hand coordination.... perhaps with the much newer 3 axis gyros I might expend the cash and time
All I really would like to do is take off, (while on front patio smoking a cigar and drinking a adult beverage) navigate the 1.5 acre front yard, and land the craft in un destroyed condition
perhaps some day
BTW there are a few real world helicopters that can do the things I see 3-D heli models do...if a pilot had done those flight antics with me abroad, I would have beat him near to death IF we landed.... jest sayin....( and I am a roller coaster Adrenalin junkie)...grin

Cool! I must admit that watching the video I ducked a couple of times to avoid the rotor blades

Re: Flight aboard my Infusion 700N
I missed this when you first posted. That's an awesome skill. And interesting to watch the mechanics you had the camera pointed at.
Thanks for the ride.
Rusty

Re: Flight aboard my Infusion 700N
Thanks Dave, That helps explain the way it works to make the foreword /and turn motions , it was a lot smoother than I expected . The surging seems to smooth out after it warms up a bit . Nice looking fly field too ! Eric
