Super computer helicopter


This helicopter is one mean machine... Powered by a huge lipo battery and a 1600w motor it develops a huge amount of power. But what makes it extremely clever is it has no fly-bar (a fly-bar adds stability at the expense of adding drag), this is compensated for by an on board computer which doubles up for a giro. In the hands of an experienced pilot it can perform apparently impossible feats of acrobatics such as flying whilst sideways!
