WOW! That looked really good! It's impressive (to me, lol) to see a helicopter of this size do an auto. I have been told many many times that 500 class helicopters won't auto because the disk is so much smaller but you definitely demonstrated the contrary. At what altitude, estimated of course, were you flipping the Throttle Hold?
The Logo Helis are lighter than other models in their class so they tend to be a lot better in the disk loading sense. To auto the 480 I go up about 300' and dump almost full negative pitch to build head speed and give me enough energy to flare at the end.
Very nice autos!
Wow. Someday I hope to be able to do that looks really cool! At this point I would smash the heli into the ground for sure :)
