Two RC Helicopters Lift a Woman into the Air



A German company claims to have broken a world record: lifting the first human into the air with a remote-controlled helicopter. Heligraphix, an RC helicopter company known for its gravity-defying stunts, enlisted the help of H.U.L.C. — Heavy Ultra Lift Crane model helicopters.
“This is the first time in the world that a human person is being lifted by a remote-controlled aircraft,” said Tobias Wagner, Heligraphix and H.U.L.C. pilot.
The team used upgraded Gaui X7 “megatron” helicopters outfitted with some seriously heavy-duty components, to give each of the two model helicopters 10 kW of constant power, Wagner said. He explains more about the equipment and components chosen in this little behind-the-scenes extra:

The helicopters are outfitted with batteries that generate 70 watts. “This machine is built like a tank … it has to have some of the most stable mechanics I’ve ever seen on a 700 size,” Wagner said.
