At the TORCHS Winter Bash this past weekend in Orlando, we held three "Cone Clinics" at the center stage flying area. Rather than doing orchestrated flying demonstrations, we chose to have improvised seminars highlighting various aspects of Radio Controlled Helicopter flying. These aspects incldude flybarless system tuning (Gain tuning, flip rate, etc), Nitro Engine Tuning, and Autorotations.
This 12 minute clinic was held by Matt Botos- owner and designer of Synergy model helicopters. In this seminar, Matt explains the easiest ways to begin doing autorotaitons with your RC Helicopter. He shows the "baby auto", along with a proper autorotation approach, followed by inverted and aerobatic autos. Lastly, he attempts an on the deck double rolling auto... with a 600 sized heli!
Apologies for the audio being a little soft... will make it better next time. Special shout out to Ryan Zanow for filming!
Hope you enjoy!
