Yep, he flies for "Align"...the company that make "Trex" helicopters. Probably makes a good living at it too.

He must spend as much time flying that copter as I do playing Xbox.... Hey! Why do I still suck at Xbox?

When you consider everything involved in making those maneuvers in that small area, it's truly amazing. For example: Did you happen to notice the inverted figure eight? Consider the fact that "up is down" and "right/left" changes at several points depending on his orientation to the heli...very cool!

Here's a couple more of "Jason Krause" & "Alan Szabo Jr" flying a prototype of the soon to be released "Trex 250". Pretty cool little heli.

hmmmm... for some reason none of the videos will load. Not in Chrome or explorer. Yesterday they did, but not today.

I noticed how small that room the top one was in. I was amazed at how fast he was moving with direction and orientation changes and how close he came to things and didn't hit them. It was amazing! I thought it was pretty cool how he pivoted on one runner at a time too.
