    I wore out the pages of Ray Hostetler's Book on RC helicopters. My first helicopter was a Concept 30 with a Futaba tail gyro, you had to actually let it spin up and a transmitter from Circus hobbies that I believe was the original JR Propo's. Dave Brown put out a simulator for the PC and I got really good with it using the "switched inverted" flying. The TOC was always a great event to watch, especially the lunch time Helicopter demos. I look at my fleet now of SAB's, Align and Goosky and can't help to think where we started. Electric motor, ESC and battery technology have really added to the reliability. The modern FBL units have made it possible for many to be able to successfully learn to fly. I remember a good flying day was when you could hover long enough to see if your blades were in track.

    Great video! Fascinating how much engagement, perserverance and engergy the first pioneers invested to make their machines overcome all obsticles and fly, even if only for a few seconds! Thats what passion is all about! Newcomers like me are having it much easier today: open a box, take out a OMPHOBBY M2 and start to fly. Still we have to learn to fly but it's so much easier with todays great flying models! Thanks for sharing this video!! It was a pleasure to watch it!!

    7:00 My only guess as to why JFK was the award comes down to the fact it's 1968 and America was about to land on the moon, a mission put forth by JFK. These heli enthusiasts and builders are likely mostly air and space engineers

    It makes me so happy reading your comment, unfortunately kids of today are more into tik tok than doing things like rc. I am now 50, I was like you are now, always playing with rc, building planes buggies etc, enjoying life as a young kid should. I didn’t force them to, but tried to get my kids to do more adventurous hobbies but I can’t compete with the mobile phone and PlayStation attraction they have. Enjoy your flying and learning, you will have a wonderful future

    In the seventies I was learning to fly fixed wing RC aircraft in a Sylvania parking lot in Danvers Massachusetts with a wonderfully talented gentleman Kenny Walker. During my training I’d occasional see a man who flew scale aircraft in a scale manner, his flying ability was unmatched, I felt a bit of a total putz in his presents. Cut lose from training and soloing now this individuals pull up on a Honda Goldwing with a beautiful custom and purpose built trailer with a nitro helicopter attached to it, a bizarre sight but as a motorcyclist myself even more so. It was the 1st RC helicopter I’d seen and the trailers paint job matched the Gold Wing perfectly. He unloaded the helicopter, prepped and started it, takes off vertically, and hovering over a nearby grassy area he kills the engine and autorotates down for a perfect landing. Letting out a jubilant cry, hands in the air, I ask why the excitement and he says it’s the 1st time an RC helicopter has ever auto rotated. Wasting no time he re-fired the model, climbed vertically, killed the engine and auto rotated perfectly onto, yes, the pavement!!! His excitement was palatable. This man was Ernie Huber, a local owner of a successful aircraft engine machining facility in Middleton Massachusetts (explaining the custom trailer) which I later came to do business with in my career as Buyer in the aerospace industry. I was in the presents of a very unique event and accomplished man but at the time I hadn’t a clue. Of course Ernie was a very prominent presents in the RC world but you’d never know it, he was truly very humble, having no airs about him what so ever. This video came up in my feed so watched it hoping to once again catch a glimpse of his superlative flying abilities. RIP Ernie and thank you for providing me with a lifelong memory of a historical event in the RC world. I fly RC to this day but never approached his level of expertise, he was truly inspirational. Thanks for sharing!!

    A favorite movie of mine growing up was 'Capricorn one' (1977), which features some RC helicopters used as miniatures for shots like when the Cayuse helis crash into the mountain at the end of the biplane chase. The 'miniatures coordinator' is listed as 'Ernie Huber'. perhaps it's the same Ernie Huber.

    @@chrismofer none other my friend, Ernie was amazing to watch fly, especially when scale flying. From taxi and takeoff to landing it was like watching a real aircraft, just incredible. He when on to do the flying in The Towering Inferno and other Hollywood stuff, quite accomplished in all that he did in life. Be well.

    If this is truly 1983 (Which I believe it is), You were all so far ahead of the time in RC and well, video. I began flying Kyosho Concept 30's in 1990/91 (still have my "Gold label" Futaba transmitter) with mechanical gyro's and what people aren't realizing is how skilled You had to be to fly like this back then. And to have scale bodies which were there were only a couple choices (I had the Bell Ranger, the 222 and the little yellow bubble canopy that I can't remember the model right now with inflated floats). Wow,just wow, You guys were good !!!!
