Re: Micro Helicopter by MIT, uses laser detector
I fly the same helicopter as the one in the video above (Align T Rex 600) Thats a electric version, I fly a glow engine powered one.
Although im nowhere near the standard as Alan Szabo jnr whos in that vid. I can do loops, rolls inverted hovering etc. Helicopters like these are very dificult to fly and to get to that level takes years and a very understanding sponser!!
Heres another video of Mr Szabo having a little duel. The helicopters in this video have nearly a 2mtr rotor span.
Enjoy. YouTube - IRCHA 2008: The Duel, Alan Szabo vs Lukas Riva
P.S. all the movements are manualy operated, there is no automation.

Re: Micro Helicopter by MIT, uses laser detector
That duel video was awesome, ive seen Szabo in several other videos and he is an amazing pilot. I have two helis, one has a 2' main rotor and is capable of 3D flight, like in the video, not that i can do that And the other one is a Blade MCX. Its a really nice indoor heli if anyone is looking for one. Its not your typical indoor heli like you might get from Radio Shack or something, its a good hobby grade heli. Not to mention you can get spare rotor blades molded in GITD plastic! I put them on my heli and hit with my BR as it was hovering, very very cool

^ So, then, you can put a pair of PHR diodes (without lenses) set up at 60mA or similar, fit them in the cockpit sides, turned up to the blades, and have a "ghost-glowing" chopper flying around, without anyone understand what's that, too .....

^ now THAT would be cool! I should try something like that, i usually just "charge" the tips off the blades as it makes a cool ring of light
