    the things that redbull pilots do with that BO-105 are insane! i honestly never though that helo was capable of anything like that.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    I knew you would like that one Matt. As long as he keeps moving he's fine...

    Very nice.

    I don't know the performance envelope of the BO-105 compared to its contemporaries, but I remember being particularly impressed with the fly-bys of one at Rotor-Fest in West Chester PA a few years back. Nothing like this redbull stuff, but still surpasses the mil demos and everything else that day.
