I'm sorry but this doesn't seem at all safe to me. Just picking the heli up and flying it again is not a very good idea. What if there was unforseen damage in one of the crashes and while flying full speed twords the crowd it let's go? Stupid I can't belive they are promoting this type of practice. I mean they didn't even check the ball links to make sure they were all still fully attached.

They could of just fooled us all. When it's down the camera stops filming and starts again with the guy going to pick it up and fly again. Wouldn't be hard to just loop it or something and make it look like it does.
I think you would have to be just a little bit thick to just fly straight after a crash.

It isn't even mode1. The collective & aileron on the right stick. elevator is on the left stick , not sure which one is for the ruder and what's the intention of the video.
What was going on with the full size, now that did look dangerous, I hope they carried out risk assesment before hand.

That heli survived the crash because the grass/bush are 8feet tall.
It looks like they were intentionally crashing it on the bushs to prove the heli's durability. No crash inspection made and their good time might be cut short one day!

You are refering to the one of " world most dangerous job " I have seen on TV program, they are doing a service some short to the power line.
Yea good point Galifrey. I guess I don't understand what they are trying to prove? I could probably do the same thing with my Fury crashing into that tall grass and it probably wouldn't do a damn thing to it. What's the point? Why aren't these guys doing any aero's is this a fixed pitch machine or something?
