Extreme low-flying and aerobatics with French Puma's.

This is a Turbine Enstrom Helicopter on the Heli Pad of a Greenpeace ship some where off the coast of Ireland. One of the deck straps has not been released correctly, with what was very nearly disastrous   more...consequence. Pilot skill and quick thinking saved the day.  less

FUNNY COMMERCIAL

Crazy Flight RC Copter

Planes and Copters crash in various ways. Mangled metal. Lots of it.

When neighbors noticed black trucks, satellite dishes, swirling radars, and "a portable launch pad, with something covered up" on a Waller County Ranch, they had no idea what to think. CNN's   more...Houston affiliate KPRC has partially solved the mystery: Houston police plan to start using unmanned drone aircraft. But, a question still remains: what, exactly, will the drones be used for?

The mood surrounding Waller County Ranch was highly secretive. At the entrance to the test site stood a Houston police road block, making sure only those invited were let through. HPD lieutenants refused to answer any questions from KPRC reporters, but KPRC still managed to gain footage of the "test [we] were not supposed to see."

"[The] drone was able to use a high-powered camera to track us," says Stephen Dean, who tracked the drone for KPRC. "Those cameras can actually look into people's homes or even follow them in moving cars."

Drone Planes are not new to the United States. The military has been using drones for secret war zone surveillance for years; drones were also used to put out the California wildfires last month. The drones used for the test in Houston weigh only 40 pounds, but can carry 15 pounds more in gear. They are able to stay airborn 15 to 24 hours without landing.

According to Dean, the fact that Houston police will be able to employ such high tech security devices raises "all sorts of new questions." One question: how will law enforcers will utilize the drones? A policeman conducting a search needs probable cause or a warrant -- will drone planes adhere to the same laws?

When the HPD realized their "secret test" was being filmed, they "hustled together" a news conference.

"I wasn't ready to publicize this," said Martha Montalvo, the executive assistant police chief.

She said that potential public safety applications include "mobility, evacuations, homeland security, search and rescue, as well as tactical."

Montalvo said that it was "too early to tell" what else HPD will do with the aircraft.

Police helicopter pilots said the entire air space surrounding the test site was restricted and, according to Dean, "threatened ... two investigative pilots with action from the FAA if [they] didn't leave."

But, when KPRC checked with the FAA, they learned there never was a flight restriction.

For Dean, that leaves some wonder "whether the police are now ready to use terrorism fears since 911 to push the envelope further into our private lives."

"We've seen that some of these technologies that are being used in the aftermath of 9/11 that we thought were necessary to protect our security in that time are now being used to diminish privacy in other contexts," said an unidentified male filmed by KPRC. "And that is extremely worrisome."  less

WARNING DO NOT TRY THIS IN A STOCK,, Eurocopter BO-105 CBS
Yes, it does back flips. It is a Eurocopter BO-105 CBS 4 Twin engine
helicopter. Stock model with a Rigid Rotor system, the fixed rotor is
why it   more...can do aerobatics.

AND THE PILOT SAYS:
Dude...I appreciate your comments...BUT...this IS a very modified
machine and DO NOT do this with a stock one. I did the mods myself
along with engineering tests and I do know what I am talking about.

The ones being talked about in Europe cannot do all the aerobatics I
can, because of the mods. The mods are "confidential" so don't ask.

Go to the Eurocopter website and compare the EC-135 (formerly the
BO-105) with the Dauphin AS 365N3. The EC-135 page has a nice
close-up
photo of the hingless (or bearingless as they call it) rotor head.

The AS365N3 page has a nice picture of the Starflex hinged rotor head -
which is typical for all Eurocopters (except the EC-135/BO-105),
Sikorsky, Bell, etc.  less

My 1st Attempt on Movie Maker, Bryan McKnight, song: Anytime
I think I got the hang of this, -Enjoy-

Lyrics to: "Anytime"

I can't remember why we fell apart
From something that was so meant to   more...be, yeah
Forever was the promise in our hearts
Now, more and more I wonder where you are
[Chorus]
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind anytime
I miss you
Still have your picture in a frame
Hear your footsteps down the hall
I swear I hear your voice, driving me insane
How I wish that you would call
To say
[Chorus]
I miss you
I miss you
(No more) loneliness and heartache
(No more) crying myself to sleep
(Don't want no more) wondering about tomorrow
Won't you come back to me
Come back to me, oh
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you  less

Check out the latest trex 600 flight at the park! Some new tricks to be
working on, like (nearly) cutting the grass, some 1620 stall turns, a little
(anxious) backwards flight, and an auto-rotation (power   more...off landing) at
the end :) Music Credit: The Crystal Method "High Roller". Hopefully
they don't sue me for using this music without permission...  less
