Title: Uber manuvers that I would like to learn
Post by: kotrenin on June 08, 2008, 10:47:36 AM

If only i could learn to fly like this in the game, I would gladly accept accusations of gaming the game.

That's an impressive bit of R/C piloting.  Also a good illustration of what an insane power to weight ratio coupled with no regard for G-forces on the pilot is capable of doing.  Exactly why warplanes will eventually be remotely controlled, or AI controlled.

Truly amazing ! I agree with you completely I'd take complaints all day if I could fly like that .

Wow, yeah I wouldn't mind being to do that in my pony :D

Watching that video, I was expecting one of three things to happen lol


1. Hit the ceiling

2. Nail someone in the head walking out of the door in background

3. To fly through the baskethoop

I've seen that several times before.  Really cool but somehow I doubt we're ever going to see electric foamies in the game  :)

I'll be going to an R/C event in Georgia, and some of you may know him, a guy by the name of Mac Hodges with his giant B-29/ Bell X-1 demo is the absolute coolest thing that I have ever seen.

The R/C B-29 is awesome.  Have seen it too many times.  Fly a little bit myself, but have not yet flown one of the foamies.  I guess that I like the gas powered models too much.

I'm with you.  I like the noise and the smell of the exhaust.  The electrics just feel wrong to me.

My planes have done many of those moves. I can see them from my parachute!
