Agreed: Lukas is solidly in my top three list of favorite world pro pilots. Lukas Riva, Nigel Brown, Alan Szabo Jr. His agile orientation makes for seamless transitions.
LOL.....yes you cannot get that sort of performance out of an $800 helicopter....you must have an Aurora or a turbulence 3D to be able to get that sort of performance......it just wont fly as well or be able to take it....the frames are too thin...the bearings bad etc etc...... yes folks I am being sarcastic.....I'm having one.

WOWI don't know what else to say? INCREDIBLE!
I've seen alot of heli videos, but this kid does stuff I've NEVER seen before and his totally unique flying style makes you realize what a helicopter is really capable of!
Kudos to Lukas and his camera-man for some fine filming!

I had the pleasure of watching some of his flights in person at 3Dx in Utrera and let me tell you that the whole thing gets even more impressive when you see it in real.
One particular thing that crossed my mind while I was taking pics of his flight was "I'm too damm close, I need to step back". Suddently I realised I was probably like 20 feet behind him so if I was feeling the raw power from that beast, I can only imagine what he and his spotter were feeling at that time. His style is very appealing compared to many out there and I'll watch every video I can but I would refuse to spot for him
