fake …
as a helicopter hobbyist, I can tell you this program is missing lots of things, where are the controls for rudder and gaz … also how is he mixing the gaz curve and pitch on his iPhone … controlling a rc helicopter is much more complicate than controlling the swashplate (but this is a good idea)
this helicopter is expensive and not the best to test this program, also for a first fly, the pilot wouldn’t have missed to use a training landing kit which cost less than 10$ …
I bet there is someone with the transmitter behind …

FAKE!
As someone that builds UAV’s im saying this.
The whole part about the servos, IF hes controlling them via a pwm signal as claimed there would be no control line, ie they would not return to center also the resolution would be next to usless.
Theres no mixing or throttle control, with the additional weight (of the “router”) this would be essential just to get off the ground.
Whilst this is a great idea the iphone is a limited platform for a project like this, a coaxial yeah sure but a rex-450 your joking.
If this guy was a real pro, hes not anymore no one’s going to sponsor a bull$hit artist like that, thats the real lesson to learn here.
