    The first frame is a Chinese copy of the X-Hover frame but is slightly larger at 280mm diagonally and is able to run 6" props instead of being limited to 5"

    Sometimes sold as an E-Maxx or storm drone

    Show Off. LOL. Lets see ya do that with a real one. I've only had the chance to play with a R/C battery powered helicopter. Both the twin rotor and single rotor versions. Your flight skills are obviously beyond mine. :)

    Some amazing work from Headquake.

    This is a buddy of mine from my previous life: https://www.youtube.com/user/hemistormrc

    He did a polystyrene Kahn Defender from an axial platform with an impressive level of detail. He also does a number of "higher octane" builds that are a little more fun. And his wife is hot.

    I dabbled in the heli side in 2006, didn't go far mostly because I bought a POS Venom that was not user friendly at all
    (rigid head, not for beginners Venom!) Still garbage NimH batteries mostly back then, was just before the lithium polymer
    batteries became mainstream. Brushless & Lipo are all I run now, nitros are almost obsolete at this point, unless you love the noise (which I don't lol)

    Summer of 2014 I got acquainted with a local, first time for me being around a truly insane 3D pilot. He is an annual IRCHA
    attendee, and has flown for a few teams. He flies brushless and nitro birds.

    His older SAB 700, electric-

    Cool, was not aware of that one... Another Canadian you may already know, dude must own a hundred grand worth of
    RC stuff, no exaggeration! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxcjVHL-2o3D6Q9esu05a1Q

    A hot wife is a cool accessory, but maintenance costs, right?

    Before my mom and dad started to take up my spare time my other hobby was my band Uphill Slide.

    It's a crappy recording in a noisy club but it sure was lots of fun.
