LOL i used to go rc helechopters when a was a kid i saw guys at my club that did stuf like that it worx with a 2 speed gearbox 1 f 1 r they get riped to shreds tho lol they had to replace the sprocets every flight listen closly ul hear sharp grinding as he turns upside down

Is that how it works? The blades actually reverse that fast? I'd think it'd make more sense to have the blades be adjustable pitch so you could switch airflow direction like that instead of starting and stopping the blades...

The blades are changing pitch and RPM. That's what makes those tricks possible. Highly impressive.

Camera work was pretty incredible too!

Some parts looked like they sped it up though.

Whatever the setup, that dude is sick like a friggin animal with that thing! I've flown RC planes before and that's nerve racking enough. At the club I used to fly at there was a guy with a heli and he had problems getting it off the ground without it flippin out and self destructing. Amazing skillz to do that ****...

The blades do not stop spinning one direction and then spin another.

They simply change pitch.

My dad flys RC copters and a few 100cc rc planes with the wingspan as tall as SHAQ himself.
