I'm a rank amateur RC 'copter pilot, but how the hell does someone fly the damn thing inverted?

That's amazing!

Practice and grandes cojones Dennis.
It's not that hard once you start. The hardest part is flipping it and staying with it.
Height is your friend. Also you need a collective pitch heli. Not those toys you find in toys shops.

Thanks Ando. I dropped shutter down to 160th. Some at 400

Great job Peter. Re the inverted or any of the 3D stuff LOTS of time on the sim too.

A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought.

Thanks cicopo
Sim certainly helps. Some of these tricks take 2 years to get right. I don't have that patience.
