By someone who doesn't think a 582 can ever stop :noidea :eek The scenery is great, the flying awesome, a lot of proximity flying.... but man, if the engine so much as hiccups, there is nowhere to go :badluck :eek

Nice machine (for an air killer/command) and great flying tho :like

I know, the pucker factor for me watching it spoiled it a bit.... I had to watch it a few times to enjoy the scenery :eek :noidea

Yes, great flying, just not my cup of tea to fly in such close proximity with absolutely no where to go if the worst happens.... especially in a kill-command,,,,, at least it had a blue head, that has more of a chance to stay going :dizzy :laughing :laughing :like :pop

Gabs, did you get the sound on the rusky homebuilt helicopter.... eventually? :noidea :Wolvie

If you are set up for it and are prepared to risk the machine..... like, if you are carrying an E perb and advise authorities and know where shipping lanes are and what ships are on them, are wearing a life vest or cold water suit and have done all of the planning, it is ballsy.....

If you just decide to do it, don't prepare for it, don't tell anyone what you are doing and will cry if you dunk your machine (and stay alive) then it is stupid :killme :badluck

On my bucket list is 2 over water flights, one to Tasmania and one to Papua New Guinnea, both return...... but I would only do it at the right time of the year, with the right winds and all boxes ticked.... Tasmania is only 135 miles with Islands no further than 20 miles apart, and PNG is like 90 miles with islands in between also.... wear the right clothes, tell the right people.... beacon, radio.... cross at about 8000' so plenty of time for radio calls if she goes quiet.... what could possibly go wrong :noidea :laughing :laughing :Wolvie

From 8000' you would see both destinations on leaving the mainland,,,, if the winds aren't righ, don't go, if the visability isn't good enough, don't go.... not that day anyway

Who was it that flew over water for 12 hours? Where did he go? :noidea :pop

That was really cool. I thought really well done from a video editing perspective as well. I thought the under gyro camera placement looking backwards was particularly effective.
Seems like it's a splice of two separate flights at least, probably 3 with the gyro blade elements.
I think just one video cam moved to different places for each flight. I can't see the under gyro camera in the side view shots, can anyone?
Very cool!

I enjoyed it the second and third time.... once I knew he wasn't going to have an engine out or something, I could relax.... I am nervous flying in amongst that many hard things, and it makes me nervous to watch others do it too....

Yes, Brilliant production :like :pop
