Level 8: Bonus Moves
20,250 XP + 6,000 bonus0% Complete
Level overview
Level 8 collects the bonus moves — standalone freestyle maneuvers from RC Helicopter Richard's tutorial series that sit outside the seven-level syllabus. From smack flips and overspeeds to the Hong Kong eye and the Jupiter probe, each move has its own dedicated video guide because no single tutorial covers them all.
Prerequisites
Complete Level 7: Advanced 3D before starting these. Every bonus move assumes advanced 3D orientation, aggressive collective control, and reliable bailouts under pressure.
Practice expectation
Expect 60 or more focused flights. These moves reward sim time and deliberate progression — several (overspeeds, smack flips) also demand a model that can take the stress.
What you'll learn
- •Blend flips, tic-tocs, and pirouettes into signature freestyle sequences.
- •Control continuous-rotation moves like piro wobbles and rotating seesaws.
- •Master showpiece figures — the axe, the koob, the timewarp — that make a freestyle routine memorable.
