Title: more helo aerobatics

I know we had similar videos like this before but this one also is worth watching.
It's actually the same pilot as in the one with the german TV host:

Obvisouly a new and inexpierenced pilot, he's got a lot to learn....

LOL, very impressive, especially the upside down hover WOW!

Something i never understood, what is the big deal with why helicopters couldnt go inverted for the longest time.  I know the appache was the first to be able to do it, but now it seems more can.  It would be the same concept as how a plane does it, ie chamber and aoa and considering how the blades already pitch etc, you'd think it would actually be easier for a helicopter to do it...

Bwoar! Das war der absolute Hammer!  ;D

Es war auch... sorry, wrong language, it was also impressive to see how fast and stable it could roll, and especially loop! :o

can you do these things with any helicopter ? probably not,  but what's the reason for that ? not enough power, too much stress on the hull or something else?

lots of reasons my friend. ;)

rummage through the threads "Camarillo Airshow" and "Helicopter Questions" if you want.
we have discussed this a bunch already. I am sure you'll find it interesting!
