What a tit! Losing control like that at such close range could have easily been fatal.

That's what I thought, his reflexes and hand eye co-ordination must be on a different level to the rest of us.

LMAO what a **** to take off under trees like that. Lucky on the first bounce it didn't angle back at him and take his head off.

Wow @ that 2nd video!
I would love to see an overlay of him controlling it to see the amounts of inputs he's putting in.

These things scare the crap out of me. it just takes a moments lack of concentration and the rotors are in your face.

This thread inspired me to fly my Heli at the weekend. About 20 seconds into the flight it completely locked up (i.e. transmitter wasn't transmitting or heli wasn't receiving) and hit the deck hard. That'll be a two hour re-build then <sigh>

Same here, must have been superbly set up, and either a very calm day, or some stunningly quick reflexes
