what do you believe a video will tell you? the only difference in appearance would be the fact that the benzin has counterclockwise rotation so the hover hangs to the left, not the right.
i am not sure that you would see that the helicopter does not shake like a glo powered heli. you could not see the helicopter hovering at approximately 20% throttle, with more power than the 14.75 pound helicopter could use!
i was a helicopter flyer in the late 80s and early 90s but gave it up. never was very good either
i recently (oct 02) came back to helis from giant scale plankers. i bought a couple of rappy 50s. one went into a longranger fueslage. i was flying the longranger every weekend until i got the benzin. after thay, i took the benzin and longranger to the field, but never took the longranger out of my truck.
the benzin flies on gasoline. i guess we are now up to as much as $2.25 a galloon, including the oil. each tank lasts a minimum of 20 minutes. i can fly all weekend, five or more flights per day, and barely use a galloon.
looking back on this response, i am not sure i answered your question. if you would like, i can try to make a video this weekend. however, i don't know what to shoot. let me know what you would like to see.
btw, i like my benzin so much that i have purchased another one to go in the bk117, because i don't want to take the p&d apart.
