Fake or not fake? The iphone could do it but still its cool

I think this is fake as the guy wont show anything under the canopy and whats hes other arm doing when hes moving the phone around showing u it moving the swash.

[Dannyyy]

Thats what i was thinkin

As the OP said it has already been done with the iphone tho!

[nightstalker]

well if he said its been done then it must be real

[Sqwidge]

Its BS there is no way an iPhone would be quick enough to send a signal to counteract the sensitivity of the servo's, even if you could get it to spool up how would you make your basic 4 channel touch screen turn into 6 channels?I could see it for cars etc as forward back etc is possible but not all that and pitch/throttle control aswell.Also you see at the beginning his phone light goes off indicating his phone went into standby mode, when you are using your phone the lights stay on, the only time its off whilst in use is during a call

I agree with 100% but go see the comments on it on what people are saying, i feel hes pulling a fast one,
It where is hes other arm when hes showing u it working?? maybe moving the TX out of frame

I cant say if hes done it or not but RCME did a feature on thier website a few weeks ago about a Japanese company that have developed software to do exactly what hes done here so its definatly possible.

[chemicalbro]

even if it isn't fake the question is why would you want to control your heli with your phone?

people should stick to using phones for the purpose they were made...
calling and SPEAKING to other people.

I'm not denying that its not possible as with todays technology it probably is, but its taken a Japanese company this long to do it and the Japanese are usually way ahead when it comes to pioneering technology, I think its fake because i don't see how a spotty teenager with a web addy such as 'MyAuntIsHot.com' and a crappy iPhone could out smart a bunch of Japanese men in a think tank.

Not having a dig at you btw its just my 2p worth

[callum]

I agree, its a fake until its proven.

When he is flying it, you can see he is delayed, and when he stops and looks over his shoulder he looks past the cam and Says, Thats awesome, i bet the guy/people who where standing there was really flying lol

[Grant85]

What a load of old bo**ocks.He will have to be a good gymnast then if he wants to be doing some 3d flying because the way he was moving there to just hover it then what will you have to do to go inverted? will you have to do a flip and land on your head LMAO!

[Dedcalm]

Do people really take this stuff seriously... if I film a carrot the tilts with a swash almost following its movement (like in the clip) would people believe I have a carrot Tx?

looks like a wireless router cable tied to the heli in the last few seconds of the clip... LOL

perhaps is web site should have been myauntisgullible.com
