    Soviet Kamov KA-52. Same concept. Simultaneous torque/anti-torque with twin main rotors. One of a very few helicopters with ejection seats.

    Are they times to be in sync with the rotors, similar to the machine guns on WWI planes shooting through the props?

    The main rotors, possibly hub as well, were designed to separate from the fuselage. No such design in my rig.'

    I do not understand the physics of how choppers fly (Sorry). The transmitter does look decent and it weighs as much as any major brand you would buy. I guess that is a breeze (if you are a decent pilot), it will not be a problem. For the speed, I watched a guy fly it in the shop and he was hauling butt with it!

    The main rotors, possibly hub as well, were designed to separate from the fuselage. From there, the seats eject similar to those of modern day fighters.

    Peter,

    How does that one you bought compare with the housefly or the Humming Bird Micro Electric Heli V-3?

    My next door neighbor flew helicopters for L.A.P.D. for 23 years. He says he continues to crash his RC heli. I see him going to the hobby shop for parts quite often. It must be pretty difficult.

    Thats why when I fly the r22 I do a hell of a preflight.
