Will the Hyperfly NOTAR Hover?
People say manufacturers stole my idea for ETRMS and this NOTAR. Listen, It was never stolen! I simply was messing with inventing and doing untried stuff back when RC was new. I never tried to sell the idea, just show them off, so I sent articles and pictures and vids to the magazines and manufacturers. I just wanted to show what I could do and they could print it, which they did. I know all the people who used the ideas, especially Aki Suzuki (owner of Kyosho) who paid me very well for 8 years for this Hyperfly Idea. Many people said it could not hover or even fly at all for that matter. Mode I Radios made it tough for USA pilots who can’t fly airplanes in Mode I either. Once Great Planes began selling them with a radio, I tried to not allow them to sell it with a Mode I radio,but it was out of my hands by then and Futaba had a ton of left over Mode 1 radios, and made the deal. I was disappointed in that. But it really sold well overseas, where they fly mode I. Because this machine was new, and unconventional, it was beyond most Mode II fliers flying capability who had no understanding of basic helicopter theory and aerodynamics. Here I show exactly what it could do. (And of course in the right hands), they were proven wrong, as I demonstrate the extremes in this video. (some people can’t drive you know, and if you dare to learn something new, with practice, you can master anything, as many of us could really fly the Hyperfly great. But most not, and it is still the same …

Yes, I have turned the comments off. 25 years ago, this was a major breakthrough and worked well enough that Kyosho bought my idea and made the biggest selling model in history.
I am disappointed that folks today, think otherwise.
You should have been there back then and you would have appreciated helis you had? to build and learn to fly with no gyros. If you have worthwhile comments, then PM me.
Good luck, Kids.
Thanks very kindly. Your? right.
Thank? you.
Ignore your detractors NightFlyyer. It works really well for? a basic setup.
Dont waste your time NightFlyyer. I think most of these people dont even have any experience with RC models. Ive been near the hobby for over 30 years and my dad got me started when I was about 7-8 years old. He’s? benn flying helis siince the days of radios that were kits you put together (Kraft Radios I think, a metal box with two sticks, remember those? lol!) and no gyros and mechancal mixing, and he never gave up. THAT is what this hobby is about. Thanks for these vids and keep flying!
Way easier to find all my new videos with the? new design. Sorry.
It? works, what is wrong with that?
Like I said, it was designed so people with planes could find out what it was like to fly a helicopter without having to learn how to hover. This WAS the wheel in helicopters 30 years ago. It was designed long before all the easy flying stuff we? have today.

Yes, I was in many magazines.. Kyosho bought the rights from me to Manufacture? and sell it. Thank you.
Thanks. Be? better!
Yes. See some of my other vids and youll see cams? on my Helis.

Dear NightFlyyer:
Were you credited for this ingenious nifty? invention
that was adapter, refined those Japanese modeling companies (Kyoshu??)
Do you hold patent??
Once again, thank you for sharing your vast wealth of knowledge and expertise!
i? want to be like you 😛
i always used… im allitle rusty and? allitle jumpy
