Shootout Heli

[TWOpointFORliter]

Ok so I was out practicing today with a 2lbs weight strapped to the bottem. I was purposely putting myself in trouble and practicing recovering before I lost complete control. Things were going good for a while but I crashed it again. I doubt I will feel comfortable enough to fly it around all the people and cars that will be there. It's just too much of a liability. I'm going to get it fixed again (usually takes the hobby shop about a week) and practice some more. If there is someone with alot of experience flying a rc heli I would be willing to let them fly mine to get some good footage. I have an electric powered "blade pro 2" which is only for an advanced flyer but if someone feels they have the experience to fly it let me know and we can gladly set up some test flights for you away from the hotel and track.

Here is a link to my heli. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1350

Dont let the micro in the name fool you it is a very powerful heli and has 20" rotors and it handled the 2 lbs weight just fine.

That's pretty impressive for that heli to carry the 7D.

I tried reading the comments to see what type of helicopter this is and how much they cost but couldn't find it. Anybody know?

Real helicopters are much more fun.

Got one you can bring to the shootout for some vids then?

Unfortunately, no, I can't bring one to Ohio for the weekend, the thought is entertaining though.

If you'd like to rent one, I'll fly it. I'd even let you have the controls.

I hope this somehow works out because last year's Shootout video was already amazing, especially because I wasn't able to make it out there.
