Mooney shot was epic! Good stuff

[@HelidirectRC]

😆 Thank you!

[@JamesLewis-mp9zn]

Wow it's good seeing brothers in this hobby. You definitely represent us. I'm 73 years old and fly scale birds. Wish you could have met and known John Wilson of Scotch Plains, NJ. He passed away last year due to Covid. A real good friend, upon learning of passing named on of my FBL 450s (Augusta A109} after him. I made a decal with his name and put it on the Pilot's door. His You Tube web site is still on "Automatic Universe". Never got into 3D but do like F3C flying. Enjoyed this video very much.

[@HelidirectRC]

Thank you sooooo much I appreciate your kind words. I sincerely hope you and his family heal. Sorry for your lost. Also, thank you for keeping his memory alive and well!!

[@stevintyska2449]

makes alot of sense why that last video he posted looked incredible, I seen glimpses of the old Nick I seen live in boston years ago. One of my favorite pilots

[@HelidirectRC]

Yes, the old Nick is BACK! There’s a pep in his step:)

[@Planehazza]

Had the pleasure of joining Nick and others for dinner about 10 years ago when he was over for RCHA funfly. Genuine down to earth guy with passion for this hobby. Epic flying as always.

[@HeliBrent]

Really enjoyed this video! Would love to see more videos visiting more pro pilots!

[@HelidirectRC]

[@HelidirectRC]

[@jonathangleaton4071]

[@faypon3222]

Beautiful 3c

[@michaellindsey219]

A fresh pilot perspective well presented. Entertaining and informative. Well done Team Helidirect!

[@HelidirectRC]

Thank you! We appreciate it!

[@jaybomb5022]

Wow, that flying was magnificent. The blade sounds were jaw dropping with that canopy... just... wow. Sad to see that crash but it's all part of the hobby!!!

[@jasonb1999]

Nick is such a great pilot! Awesome video guys! Excited to see the next one.

[@garyowen3743]

Nick seems a real nice approachable genuine guy that would help others. I wish someone like Nick would fly a heli on a cheap radio and prove you don't need a certain brand to fly helis. Take the pressure off others that want to join the hobby and learn there is a starting point and you don't have to be in the deepend

[@HelidirectRC]

I assure you, his talents have 0.00% to do with the radio. He can fly this good on a $25 radio

[@yes9098]

Wonderful heli with perfect flying skill and attitude, the best aerobatic skill I ever seen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@damiendayx]

Specter flight 😮

[@RotoRCol]

you guys have to pursue Jamie Robertson, and try to make him come back into the hobby, I watched him in some videos at IRCHA this year but hope he got sponsored like Nick. Those three guys have been my inspiration to flight years ago, Jamie, Nick and Kyle Dahl. Best regards from Bogota, Colombia

[@llamont2336]

Glad to see Nick getting back into the competition side of things. This was a great interview. Your perspective on the business side vs the pilot side is totally poignant. Thanks Sean and Brian!

[@HelidirectRC]

No, thank you for watching!

[@Pedro-Lopes.]

Nice, time with Nick Maxwell. You guys, do more videos like this, with other named pilots, it would be anwsome. By the way, what happened when heli cut off with no damage and fly again?

[@philippesandmeier3736]

amazing flying!!!!!

[@pitchcurve]

Great! You have my YES! 👍

[@nickdean468]

Nice video love all the helicopters in this one damn Nick fly's crazy sick my heart would have started pounding hard. hearing the blades running off that Scorpion motor. Ive been thinking about purchasing a tribunus ESC like good ol Nick here its between the Tirbunus and 200a Hobby wing going to put it in my Gaui X7. Still need to get a few things .

[@CL-Carrington]

Great video 👍🏽

[@HelidirectRC]

Thank you Charles! Stay tuned for more interviews

[@alwaysflying6540]

That's a cool workshop. I'm a nerd too lol

[@faypon3222]

Beautiful 🫶🫶🫶💝💝💝 helicóptero my Friends 🍾🍾🍾🍾🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍

[@mikercflyer7383]

Amazing flying. Why does Nick have to fly that high for the landing that’s what I wonder.

[@HelidirectRC]

He doesn’t have to, it’s a maneuver called an “auto rotation” it’s a very stylish acrobatic move he does to wow the crowd:) it’s difficult to do

[@mikercflyer7383]

@@HelidirectRC I know the maneuver I fly heli too but I never could do that because I am old but why go so high I guess he has excellent Vission.

[@JamesLewis-mp9zn]

opps type o it's "one" of my FBL 450. Got to slow down when typing.

[@rchelicopter]

What tail gear ratio did he say?

[@czarus319]

5.0 pulley 20 t
