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.

Because companies got tax breaks to go overseas where labor was cheaper. The USA guys wont work for cheap, and that is why it happened. You know that anyway.
