Wild Moose Heliman Location: SF Bay Area, California
| Hi Sharam,
I was also there watching the Synergy fly on Sat. (btw, nice to meet you, I was the one with the Ion). Watching that heli being put through it's paces in that wind was an incredible experience. The speed it carried in that wind, both upwind/downwind, forward and backward flight was almost unbelievable as was those sliding tic-tocs and chaos' off the deck...did I mention in that wind as well?
Equally impressive was the helis' stability, popping out of those flips into upright and inverted hovers and just watching the heli 'lock-in', even when screaming full tilt downwind and being slammed to a stop.,,not a wobble and certainly not much drifting taking place with minimum pilot intervention too. I think at one time I saw that Todd had his hands completely off the sticks.
Mid-July won't come fast enough!
