This is pretty interesting.... you have prolly seen it before.... but anyway, enjoy
 It is a go-pro mounted on the hub bar watching the rotor in flight.... hope you don't get dizzy    _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned!

Very interesting, I guess 10cm or 4" is about what I'd expect. Though I would have thought it might be a little more with load

I find it fascinating watching the blow back when the rotor is at the front.
  And just all of the general movement and twisting.... _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned! Ok, Ok.... some of them are planned.. If electricity comes from ELECTRONS, then surely morality comes from MORONS?? |
