I was watching the discovery channel last night there was a guy on there with a German built Heli ( real one forgot the name ) that he personally modified he kept it a secret as to what he did but he was doing loops and barrel rolls just like it was an airplane it was something to see. He said without the modifications it would cut the tail off!! Ray

Yeah, saw some videos of a Co Comanche or an Apache doing that stuff. Very sweet to see a REAL heli doing this stuff. Imagine the G-forces someone would feel if they were in one of our helis...

could you imagine seeing a apache screaming down on you then as it passes it flips a loop and comes right down ontop of your poor armored tank, ripping it apart with 30 cal armor penatrating rounds at over 800 per minute. DANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG oh and thats a good apache pilot man i miss flying in the hell hole of a black hawk while flying nap of the earth. after that no roller coaster has ever been fun for me, they are all boring.

What was cool about the one they had on discovery channel was it was just a normal 2 passenger heli that this guy modified and it does it so gracefully both the roll and the loop or he can just flip it onto its back and then over not really a loop more like a stall. Very impressive.. Ray

A friend of mine saw the Red Bull demo at Oshkosh last year and got his own video of it doing 3D. He almost dropped the camera. ;D
Happy landings
