    no its the Frames keeping the same speed and its just catching the rotors in the same spot over and over. kinda like when you see a car driving down the street at the right speed and it looks like the wheels are not moving. my best guess any ways

    no, its being hoisted and its unable to focus on the cable. its the only logical answer. the helicopter is moving to much to be actually working, not to mention the camera has no problem focusing on the spinning tail blade which spins fast as crap as well.

    nope my money is on neoP5's theory, if it was a toy, then how did the landing gear retract up inside it, and how does the tail rotor stay spinning..the camera is catching it on the same frame every time making it look as if the rotors are still, but you can see the tail rotor spinning because it spins much faster than the main rotor

    I'm gonna have to strongly disagree with neo's theory. Lolol. I'll tell you what's up:

    The blades are pitch controlled and are still working like airplane wings. The turbine engines are positioned towards the ground on each side of the chopper, giving it partial lift. Although hard to tell from this angle, the chopper is still losing altitude. Later, QD.

    though yours sounds good QD im going to stick with mine...if you look in the start of the vid if you watch the rotors you will see the vapor coming off them which only happends at very high rates of speed. though i may be wrong im still pretty sure its whats going on!!! also im pretty sure the noise of the rotors kinda gives it away that they are spinning....yes i will give that the back one is spinning but i dont think it will make that much noise.

    also if you watch the rotors the hole movie they are almost transparent saying more that they are moving at a very high rate of speed. if they were still you would be able to see in good detail all of the rotors the hole movie even from the sides but the fact they are just a blur sugests to me they are moving very fast.
