I would appreciate it if you share this by clicking here: http://on.fb.me/UpsideDownChopper . Sorry about the Ad, I’m saving for the kid’s college education and this is my plan to pay for it. There’s more to Chopper Physics than you think. I will be releasing the videos at the end of the video over the next few weeks.

Instead of saving for my kids’ college, I make videos using the money I would have saved.
The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you’ve learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please share the video. If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards their college fund by clicking here:

Nice place. Living in the country rocks. Even the horses seem calm with bits of spinning metal at decapitation velocity flying around them. I am cuurrently running buckshot at my neighbors attempt to emulate your videos, but today I am going with a 4x telescopic sight mounted on a .223 with a hollow point. Could you please do a show on ballistics and how it actually led to our modern-day understanding of physics? As well as giving me some usefull pointers as to how to shoot these annoying whiney contraptions offa my property??
I can't for god's sake notice the gyroscopic precession (explained in #4) by looking at this video. As a matter of fact, it looks like it's not off phase by 90º – it looks like it's increasing lift on the back to move forward, increasing lift on the left to roll to the right and so on. WTH?!?
The last video in this Playlist was crazy! I don't think I've ever REwatched a clip so many times. Crazy you can even see the pilot almost come out of the cockpit, even his mic and muffs were dangling. Thank God he survived. Thanks for more awesome videos Destin!?
I love destin?
meat servo lol?
Sure you can fly a helicopter upside-down, but for any reason, would it be beneficial to do so??
That's amazing, seeing the swashplate do it's thing!?

I want to make a small UAV. What do I use for power? Brushless DC motor??

So, what he just said is that real helicopters can do this…..why do I imagine drone helicopters being scary as balls now.?
MAGIC!!!?
