My R/C Helicopter Tree Crash and 150' foot free fall
Thought I'd share some of my 4F (fricken' fast forward flights) from a bone stock FX067 with taped-on Mobius Cam in my front yard.
I've got a 5 acre ranch, very big yard, very big shop, big house.............very TALL trees.........:D
Good cheap fun times! I bought 3 of these FX067's just for this punishment reason, bring on the numerous replacement parts and bash again!
at only $88 each through banggood.com it is a hoot to fly.
and will hover right out of the box so most anyone can fly 'em with a slight learning curve.
highlights from 2 rip snort flights results in a short one minute long video..........Grins, managed to shmuck a tree as well as lose radio bind at
150 foot up...........
