Forty plus years of fixed wing and now this. A Bell222 by CeraSim - requiring lot's of practice but definitely fun.

The only heli I tried was the Alabeo R66 - great textures but the FDE was a bit "crazy". It was fun for a couple of hours, but then I went back to fixed wings again.

I always wonder: WHY???
And sometimes: how come it doesn't fall out of the sky?

I prefer the aircraft type to fly in scale/realistic , I do wonder what/how Uncle Dave is doing with his Bell 222 :)

Wouldn't it be great to be young enough to be able to react like that?
I have a similar machine and if I could fly it 12 hrs a day for the next year I'd never even get close to doing anything remotely resembling like that (actually I could...just before it hit the dirt).....and yes it is WAY harder than it looks.
Trust me.

Trust me.

"Trust me" I do CP ...ive had a couple (not as complex as the video) and they were bastards of things . I gave the big one (and it was) to someone here on the forum , it was a crazy thing.
I still have two little ones that i retrieve from the place door ... they cant handle any wind at all. Good fun ...excellent motor skills therapy.
