That's it, Lance. The real thing depends on gravity to keep the fusilage aligned properly with the rotor system. It may be that the models can't go fast enough to require blade flapping (I don't know that for a fact) and thus might be able to have a totally rigid Inon flapping) rotor blade system.lancefisher said:Unlike full sized helicopters, scale models have the ability to fly with negative G's and thus can be flown inverted by a skillful "pilot". Right side up ain't easy and I suspect that "mowing the grass" requires serious skill.

Wonder why they don't do it in full size choppers, that would be a kick.
