Found this on a forum. Amazing video of a talented person flying a remote control helicopter showing off what they can do in the hands of the right person.
I should have been more specific that most real helicopters do not produce negative pitch; and of those that do they probably do not produce as much thrust as their weight, though I have heard that there is a real life Russian helicopter that can sustain inverted flight.
Some real helicopters do have negative pitch ability, however it is not for in flight use. Military helicopters, more specifically navy copters, use negative pitch to land on sea-craft in bad weather conditions. Once they touch down they flick to negative pitch which has a sticking effect, making the heli stick to whatever it has landed on instead of getting blown off.
what’s shown in the video does not defy the laws of physics.
The reason why these R/C helicopters can fly inverted is that the head can angle the rotors to produce “upward” thrust (which real life helicopters can not). So what it comes down to is skill and not getting disoriented due to the control axes being “reversed”

A real help has a MUCH lower power to weight ratio, and weakling human pilots onboard.
awesome tricks who cares about the laws of physics
SZABO HELI PILOTS RULE THE EARTH.
Viewed over a million times!!!!!
Holy shit!

I’ve watched this vid about five times… even presented it to my Physics teacher. There is an explaination for everything. This pilot is a badass.
if u got a real heli to go through the same feat it would fall down in flames.btw this vid cheats the laws of physics.
its not fake its Alan Szabo.
you obviously know nothin about rc helis…im no expert but ive seen enough videos to not make a fool of myself ;]
I agree that it looks fake, but this is real.
engine stress, we’re going down!
too bad its fake. image quality is unnatural and imperfect to film.
why the hell did you speed it up!
It would have been cool if you had left it alone you ass.
it’s a maximum load!
Naan c’est Décooné !!
Omg it looks fucking fake
Holy shit, now if he could only do that in the real thing!
he must have hit the button labeled :
Go completly nutso
your mom is fake
It almost looks faked. That guy has some crazy-good skills.
Alan Szabo JR. Heck out his other YouTube vids. He’s #1 in the world RC heli pilot.
un animal…
Fake! I can see the strings!
