Awsome Russian Helocopter stunt

Kapitan · 08-07-09, 04:03 PM

saw something similar at an air show once, i think the best thing i saw was a lynx fly upside down though.

That's not an overly dangerous stunt as long as the front wheel doesn't get snagged on something. The rotor blades were also well away from the ground (by at least 4-6 feet).

When you have Brass Balls you just gotta showoff........

Your margin of safety is much narrower than mine.

German helicopter at work (well I it's owned by the Austrian Red Bull company). I was lucky enough to see the guy perform live at the ILA last year.
The video starts to get interesting at about 1:35.

I think SUBMANS point (as usual) is that it cant be real or cool if done by non-Americans.

I wasn't really that impressed.

I find helicopter inverts much more impressive.

I'd love to see that...I've searched high and low but can't find any footage

Letum · 08-09-09, 06:00 AM

Here you go. 23+ seconds in.

Now that's impressive.

Nope....didn't see it flying upside down

Letum · 08-09-09, 08:22 AM

It was upside down and in the air.
If you mean sustained inverted fligh, no full size helicopter can do that.
