Wow, you are a king! Sick skills! Thank you very much for combining the video with stick movements, what a help! Big up to the guy who kept that chopper in view while doing such crazy shit!

if you are referring to the stick movements, thats even more interesting. The servos are strongest when they move, and a servo holding a very specific spot can slop easier than a servo moving. Szabo keeps the servos constantly moving to get the most rock solid hub movement as possible even if his movements reflected on the helicopter are smooth.

that's not really what either of us were referring to.
Shadowtech666(July 24, 2008 at 9:42 pm)
not really... the "wopopop"s are from the blades vibrating under extreme force. Hes switching the collective while the machine is going the opposite way, so the blades are stressed and will try to rip them selves apart because of the extreme momentary load that is placed on them. One DOESN'T want that noise but in this case carbon fiber blades can barley handle the maneuvers he is doing.
