RE: Helicopter Soaring
As Evan said, helicopters soar very well. Full size and models as long as the rotor is turning and the blades are providing lift. Called auto rotation. We practice it daily. Yep when Evan arrives at the field we all bow and kiss the ring. ( we love his C-Vett actually) he is a lot of fun to be around too.

Awww.... Thanks Jim.
BTW the HK500 is ready to maiden tomorrow. I haven't had many of the issues (yet) that some others seem to have. What a deal for a $55 helo. $320 total into it including helo, motor, ESC, Batterys (2- 2200 30C 3S in series) gyro, servos (name brand), and reciever. Everything except transmitter. I used what was in the box, I have not bought or substituted anything. Tomorrow we see just how a $55 helo flies. I have it set up for 3D too....
