fiordaliso Senior Heliman Location: Bregenz/Austria
My Posts This: Topic Forum | Before Tareq did his flight with the Vibe another guy (I don`t know if it was the owner of the heli or a friend) flew it. The engine seemed to bog under load and the machine wasn`t as quick and powerful! Then, Tareq pushed it to life with nothing changed, whether set-up nor engine. No bog, no feel of underpowered engine, nothing.
It was a perfect demonstration of how pitch- and cyclic management is the key for all. Most of today`s 3D maneuvres, may they be soft or hard, don`t need that endless power as one may expect. You have to seperate pitch and cyclic inputs in a way that the total amount remains in a range where physics are intact.
One can admire his flights. And of course they were breathtaking, hands down.It is his branding and everybody expects him to fly that way. The Alpine Smackdown was a funfly and Tareq was the perfect man for that show. But unfortunately nobody has seen him fly a decent "Piro-globe", or a perfect "Wheel of fortune with piro-reversals" or an "Anaconda". And that is beutiful to watch too. The theme "the lower the better" is only one part of the show. Some add-on´s (as mentioned above)and you can definitely call him 3D MASTER. But that remains to be demonstrated. |
