My RC Helis + Eurocopter "full size", I take you up.
I briefly fly a real Eurocopter over my office and over Newport Beach, after looking through my personal RC helicopter history book first.
I am pleased to have been involved with helicopters all these years.
Real helicopters were just coming of age at the beginning of WW2.
We have come a long way since then in Models and the real ones.
Thanks for watching.

Another great video …
Another great video and seeing a real heli land was a treat.
I fly in MicroSoft fs2002 and notice that heli's in that program resist turning using the tail rotor but I don't see that with RC heli's why is that ?
And what is the proper way to land a real heli ? With planes you are suppose to line up the runway by looking at the far end of the runway and use flaps and pitch to control descent. I can land heli's but I feel like I can do better with the proper technique.
