very cool...now tell me the truth - do you fly that thing outside the neighbors' bedroom windows at night?

nice stripes by the way...did you have them done at HRM?

Flying Scotsman · 05-15-2008, 06:40 PM

Hi there, Mark Starr and his guys at HRM did the stripes, The p.o. did the HI-Int lights, Stage 2 and the K40 and the Cold Air Intake as far as I know.

And as for the bedroom... that's another video

AnsisK · 05-15-2008, 07:18 PM

Yup.

Nice vid too!

macdady2424 · 05-15-2008, 09:13 PM

That's pretty cool. You've gotta bring that with you if you ever show up to a drive that I'm at. Sweet video.

knucklehead · 05-15-2008, 09:27 PM

One of the best videos I've seen. Kudos

FLuXeXigeS · 05-15-2008, 10:15 PM

great house, garage, driveway and car!!!

the heli pilot must be really good ad that stuff!!!

helif-flix seems to be a great idea as well!!!

Mr.C · 05-15-2008, 11:27 PM

Very impressive! Nice work and really nice looking car

Ravenbk · 05-16-2008, 05:52 AM

very nice, they pilot is steady with that thing... i noticed that the camera pans and tilts independent of the copter... is the pilot also controling the cam or is there another operator with a monitor? it would be great if you could find a closed circuit and do a vid at speed!

Also, what filter did you add to the video to give that saturation effect? it really makes the car look great... nice stripes by the way!

ivan1 · 05-16-2008, 06:00 AM

maybe you can bring that thing to gpny next time we go karting

25psi_Elise_Killer · 05-16-2008, 09:58 AM

Can any RC heliocopter do this or is this something specifially designed to handle the weight of a camera? My friend tried connecting a camera to his RC heliocopter, but all we got was some great footage of the camera falling from the sky at a few hundred feet up :P

yak52pilot · 05-16-2008, 10:22 AM

Absolutely stunnig!
BTW this is my twin brother except for the wheels color.

def · 05-16-2008, 01:23 PM

Awesome! I assume its a special helicopter built just for filming?

If you have a higher res video you should put it on vimeo or something (I hate youtube quality)

edit: read the youtube link (duh), its a Joker-USA, but must be a custom video setup?

i had thought for a min it was your car....

great video! flying those things are tricky, i have a training rc copter, still struggling with it.

NJdrool · 05-16-2008, 01:36 PM

Jim did you not sell your car awhile ago? I remember seeing it for sale.

Great video BTW.

Flying Scotsman · 05-16-2008, 07:42 PM

HI There It is a Joker CX and is availabler from Joker-USA. However we have replaced all the parts with Carbon Fiber, added an independant fro camera mount capable of three axis movemenobt all vibration isolated. We also added a downlink so a second person can operate the camera idependantly of what the pilot is doing with the heli.
Right now the way it is built and set -up it would cost approc. $5000 to replace without the Hi-def camera.
Thanks Jim
