Finding Ellen. A micro heli fishing parody of my original heli fishing video.
This Micro Heli Fishing Video was done by request due to popular demand to see more of this fish.
It is also a parody of my original Helicopter Fishing video, which has been viewed over 4.3 MILLION times.
So relax and enjoy the fun.

MCPx Flybarless CP Heli converted to Single (1) Blade, No Tail Rotor and is the first of it's kind!
Horizon says their MCPx is the smallest Flybarless CP helicopter in the world, so that means mine is the smallest Single Rotor, (plus NO TAIL ROTOR) flybarless CP helicopter in the world.
If you understand how and why helicopters work, this video will prove that it isn't all that hard. My 3rd version Uni-Blade, No Tail Rotor, (NOTAR) is faster, and runs longer.
Maybe there are drawbacks to 1 bladed helis, but for toys and RPVs that need to be more stealthy, there may be an application it could fit.
Since this is the first of it's kind it's in keeping with continuing to challenge my mind, I press on. I can almost fly this better with 1 blade and no tail rotor, it seems. It has more power for sure.
If your bored with everyday flying like I am, then step out of the box and try the things most people would not.
I have proven this 1 bladed stuff with all kinds of helis and airplanes and have videos to prove it too.
In fact, see Adrian in Switzerland who took my idea and flies amazing 1 bladed 3D 550's. Here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abXGxS6CUU4
And to those armchair pilots who like to tell me how and why it won't work, at least I try what I say to prove it to myself. And it sure works for me…all of them.
It is self pleasure, proof of my theory, and darn fun.
And to those who DO understand the invention process, the time it takes to balance the machines, the anticipation of first flights, and then the flight itself, I appreciate your attention.

World's First and Smallest Single Rotor NOTAR (No Tail Rotor) Helicopter. The Micro Uni-Blade.
~Read Please~ I've experimented with Single Bladed Models for over 20 Years! If you understand HOW and WHY helicopters work, this video will prove that it isn't all that hard to learn. My 2nd version Uni-Blade, No Tail Rotor, (NOTAR) Helicopter is faster, lighter and smaller. It is the first of it's kind and in keeping with challenging my mind, I press on. I used 3 helis, and 1 airplane to make this machine.
I can almost fly this better with 1 blade and no tail rotor than most guys with full blown micro helicopters and all 4 channels!
If your bored with everyday flying like I am, then step out of the box and try the things most people would not.
I have proven this 1 bladed stuff with all kinds of helis and airplanes and have videos to prove it too.
NOTE. There were no Crashes!

So to those armchair pilots who like to tell me how it won't work, at least I try what I say I am going to do to prove it, and heck, it sure looks like it is working to me.
It is self pleasure, proof of theory, and darn fun. And to those who DO understand the invention process, the time it takes to balance the machines, and anticipation of first flights, and then flight, I appreciate your attention and am sure you can relate.

3D Helicopter Demo by Dave Herbert (NightFlyyer) plus an "Orientation TEST" for you.
*Heli 3D TEST. If you can follow my mild 3D flight and can tell exactly what I am doing the entire time with the transmitter sticks, then you are probably ready for 3D helicopters. At this point the learning process will begin again! Watching others fly helps me, so maybe this will help you. That is my goal…..to help so you don't learn the hard way like I did.
Yes the sun does shine here in Iowa sometimes and the first flight today was that way, but the second was a bit windy and cloudy. Hmmm..back to normal! We have to learn to fly in the wind here, or we would never get to fly at all, and with these OLD EYES it is nice to have some sun shining on the model so a guy can see it…..especially without his orange pontoons! LOL.
Remember "If it sounds stupid but it works, it ain't stupid!"

1 Bladed 3D helicopter. Rotor head test on E-Sky 900 + Mild 3D STUNTS of Blade 400 & Hyperfly
*** Please read before Commenting*** Vaguely tried a long time ago before today's vast technology, I have proven the Single Blade Rotor head concept to myself using today's modern machines. Why not before? Well, people said the concept is so ridiculous they would never consider doing it on big helis or models, because it simply couldn't work and would be a waste of time. Well, my past single blade rotor video experiments led me to this next step, a bigger, heavier helicopter. I used my E-Sky 900 for this next experiment and is not a waste of time to me. It is science, physics, and fun.
Theory: With one blade, there is not as much blade turbulence, thus it's quite sufficient, uses less power, has longer run times, and is quieter in cruise.
My physics friends tell me that as long as the counter weight is on, there would be no extra stress on the bearings. Bearings get changed at regular maintenance intervals on helis, so this is no problem. If my bearings start wobbling, I will tell you and change them.
With today's materials and technology, almost anything is possible.
CCPM helis are difficult for most folks to learn to be good on in the first place, let alone for novices to be able to experiment like this.
So for those "Armchair Pilots" with negative opinions, I suggest you make your own heli, learn to fly it good enough to experiment, then put one blade on it to prove it for yourself before making opinions that it won't work, is unsafe or ridiculous.,etc, etc.
Bumble bees aren't supposed to be able to fly on paper blueprints either (due to unusual design and balance), but they do….backwards even! So never say never.
The point is that lots of ideas may work if your not afraid to try them. That's why I think a lot of our stuff is manufactured overseas, and not here is because people are always so skeptical here, afraid to get hurt, etc, etc.
My idea sounded ridiculous to everyone I told I was going to try it to, but after explaining the theory, and with visual proof, they are now believers.
Lot's of people are afraid to try anything outside the box. But not me.
I have proven this concept to myself. Maybe it's not good for big helis, but it's sufficient for me as my helis do all I want or need them to do at my age.
I am sure that I have proven enough that at least small toys, models, and flying machines will become the next step to use the single blades on, as it proves stable, uses less power, and would be cheaper to make.
I like my setups so much, I am leaving my Hyperfly, Blade, and ES-900 just like they are now. It is way easier to fly, believe it or not and I have spare blades for all. Haha.
Stay tuned for more experiments like this and thanks kindly for all your support.
