I became board with landing and taking off my xrb from my hand so I thought how could I make it more fun...

Well let me tell you how it started...first thought came to mind was could I stop the blades in flight....answer...no...they free wheel for too long. So I said to myself....self....I bet you could throw this thing into the air with the blades not moving and power up in the air....yup can do!!

Did the first one over a bed incase it did not work...don't want to break my buddy. I did about 4 or these toss and go's...and had a close call so I desided that was enough of that..

For you fun seekers.......try at your own risk!!

Hmmm....steam....



I did formulate the idea of putting the "A" blades on the "B" grips upside down and vise versa so I could try upsidedown flying...alas the coning angle of the blades would hit the tail so that wont happen.

If you had CF blades maybe

Small banners slung under the heli is next...I have an idea for trade show use....

I'm a idea man!!! always thinking....like....why don't we feed the tuna fish Mayonaise and skip the middle man...or Micowave clothing...yea....stylish and keeps your lunch warm....

While you're at it, doing stupid tricks, try throwing it off your rooftop and see if the blades will spool up right before it hits the ground.

heli mex....

I did that...well not off the roof...but in a room...tossed her into the air..blades not moving...and spooled up and flew away before contact with the floor...I do have tall ceilings in that room so I could giver her a pretty good toss.

Off the roof would be easier... more time

I think you've got issues.. But while you're at it, mebbe you can remove the tail, to fly inverted, install a hook at the bottom of the heli, and 'land' on a hoop installed on the ceiling. Craaap.... your disease spreads, man!

Ok...down side...

I was doing the toss it into the air trick again...6 more times with some serious no blade spinning hang time...then it happend. It was nose hi and when I gave it collective it came back and hit me and fell to the floor. Busted all four blades and my landing gear(not to bad). Fixed the landing gear ok and bought more blades...ok so maybe I will quit doing that now.
