    Helis and Hydros at Joe's

    Radik piloted his FE heli today at Joe's. There is an onboard camera and Joe should have the vid up shortly. The lead boat was Mark's FE 30, and to keep Joe from going too fast he took off with a roll of hatch tape unraveling from the boat.

      Here is the edited video from the run today with the Go-Pro camera on the tRex 550 helo flown by Radek. Note the inverted flight just after lift off. Great time with a great bunch of guys!

          Tony, Here is a version of the video with a music overlay with the noise of the electric TREX 550 helo


          Glad you enjoyed the So Ca FE "Meeting", since you still are the president!

            Alright....that video was very cool! Looks and sounds like it was an awesome day with a bunch of fun guys! I suspect Radek has been flying for a awhile to be able to do inverted flight with a "NEW" T-Rex! Or, he has ice in his veins! Actually got the crossed wake mishap on film. Hopefully those 2 boating pilots traded laughs at the dock afterwards and not punchs.
            Amazing how vivid the quality is of the go pro video....even with the constant heli movement the video was stable. Impressive. Please keep the videos coming, I'm sure we all enjoy them! Have a great day!

                    Aside from helping with boat set up, Tony is giving lessons to all of us on Stand Up................ Maybe it should be the Unproper ProperCHopper Comedy Club, SoCal FE division president.

                          I would believe it, but am unsure about the wisdom if the idea.
