What's a "funnel?" Or a "Chaos?"

[Artemetra]

Can anyone point me to a faq or chart of helicopter stunts? Even airplane ones would be good - like for 3D maneuvers. I know what a lomcevak is, kinda...

Should be in the helicopter 3D flying forum.

No luck on the 3D forum, Tmorita. (Just didn't want everyone to think that was the end of it.) I've searched and there isn't a good source for this that I can find - and nothing close to a chart. I've seen charts a long time ago on the pattern - that would be helpful.

Check out Curtis Youngblood's chaos and funnel videos:

Thanks, that explains it a little better. The aliasing on the chaos video makes it seem like the rotor is stuck!

there is good reason why curtis youngblood is world champ. I can't hardly follow what he does much less even contemplate doing those things in any near future if ever. all I can say is wow. his digging it video is excellent. 23meg though. gotta love broadband..

Here is a great website that explains a few 3D manuvers. http://www.rchelicopter.co.uk/moves.htm#

No...I meant if you're gonna ask about helicopter 3D moves, you need to ask in the helicopter 3D forum, not in the general helicopter forum.
