should the first american one have counted as the bottle was damaged. Great way to show precision flying though.

They should introduce that to the world helicopter championships rather than the slalom they do! Would be more fun.

Nice skills.

I don't think Frank R had this in mind when he built them, but I love it.
Where will it end? Imagine what you might have to do in an R88?? Pour the beer into a glass?

Subtlety

Well boys & girls, the day an autonomous drone can do that is the day we hang up our flyin' boots!?

Excellent use of a helicopter as a tool - can't help thinking it was a fix though.
It looks like the tops had been removed and put back on to make them easy to remove - I only watched the first four on my dial-up connection before i got bored of waiting but it looks as though they were all "knocked off" - one even got popped off by the skid!

When it started, I thought he was just going to hover with the bottles in front of him then a quick sharp pitch forward and remove all the tops at once...

My fave is the 'psssht' sound (which, it seems, can be heard over the noise of the aircraft) as the cap comes off.

Loosened ? I don't think so. Did you see those caps fly ?

Could have had someone's eye out with that !

If you watch it to the end. . . you'll see a few times they hit the bottles hard enough to knock a loose cap off. .

Good God jf, you don't mean to say you sat through the whole thing ? Please tell me you at least fast-forwarded through the adverts.

Gotta get me one of those Ninja headbands though !
