2 Vids: That time of the year to deal with leaves

[Caleb White]

Fixed ground cam of me messing with the leaf blower



2nd one, I had a user error... but all is well...



Just enjoyed the inverted for the most part. Still nervous about tight area (not my house) so don't go all out here.

Nice vid Caleb! Was nice to see you crash, pick it up and keep right on going!

[badfrog]

completely changes my outlook on doing yard work!!!
for gardening "work" I have often dreamed of a working crop dusting heli to spray the tomatoes and such...

[IBremer]

Nice vids!!

[cupracing]

awesome heli!

[ragge1]

very nice
Caleb I think you're having too much fun , ship it my way , got lots of leaves to test how it will handle here

[Luigi_tuga]

Well, not much leaves around here, but i can take one also and do some high speed big air flying, that will do!!
That heli is very MCPXish...

[Shawn Behrens]

Excellent flying
Playing in the leaves looks to be a blast.

[Itzo]

The sound... THE SOUND!!! It makes my wallet vibrate!

Looks to take a crash pretty well.
hard to tell from the vid, how hard was the hit? it was inverted with good headspeed regardless, But looks like you reduced the vertical speed before impact?

[GimpyGolden]

Better get mine soon or I'll be using it for a snow blower instead.

Yeah, admittedly it was not hard at all. I didn't have a good recollection of what happened right after the flop, but with reviewing the video it sure looks like it falters. This was not a double thumb-pump. I did the usual pitch pump for stop before hitting ground, but something with the air-flow was not normal I guess. There was a slight breeze... it lost enough lift at that moment to catch I guess. Just got some dirt on one blade tip. If it were a 450Pro with torque-tube I would have for sure stripped a gear or two. That always made me mad when I had one.
