Clever, but the ones in the vid arent electric. Probably handle a lot different to your battery one, and the controllers are probably state of the
art.
Kindest Regards,

Did Notice the were IC engines on second look.
Still, there are high end Electric ones that doo some pretty good 3D flying.

basically to fly like that your life has to be flying every day of the week. there are a few guys in my local club that fly in the 3d masters
including mark tilbry that ownes centry models, and steve hummel that runs western models.
as for ic or electric there are plenty of electric setups that can easily keep up with ic.
the honey bee king that you got is not really a 3d capable heli, nore is it very stable/good to learn on, if you want to go 3d you want something
like a 60 or a 90 size trex or knight3d
if you havent already, go out and buy phoenix model flight simulator that will get you up to a pretty good standard before you even get out of the
door.

A simulator is def a good idea. I quite like the Realflight simulator. Works well for planes, not sure how realistic it is for food-blenders.

I used to use a Multiplex Profi MC4000 transmitter for racing model powerboats. I was still cr*p with anything with wings or rotors!! I
think it has a lot more to do with with the guy on the sticks. There is an element of natural ability (hand / eye coordination) and lots and lots and
lots of practice!

here you go this is curtis at the 3dmasters a couple of years ago. hes got talent but that heli would set you back the best part of 2k if you went in
to one of the cheaper shops.
the guys in my club that compete think nothing of spending £150 on a single digital servo, £300-400 on a gyro etc. but then again most of them are
sponsored by manufacturers or work for manufacturers/distributors.
woops forgot the link

3D flying for me. no chance.
Too poor, too old
Just bought a CAP 232 for a old Webra Speed 91. to get back into flying. May even go electric on this later.
The King II very cheap for a Heli and just use it for fun.

I have a Blade 4003D, which is a *far* more capable machine than me (well, I am a machine apparently).
Needs a constant supply of rotor cross-shafts and the main shaft which bends all t readily when you prang it (yields as it's meant to). You also
need to stop flying when the battery gets low, or it won't charge again. Anyway, most bits are affordable. Nice machine.

Funny - I've just been test flying my Belt CP2 after the last in a long line of main blade to tail boom strikes. It's pretty modded now
with Align parts and flies real stable. I'm just getting into Fast Forward flight. I've been using Clearview to learn and it's sped
up the "real" flying no end.
