I have, a bit, in a Lynx...first time I rolled fully inverted in a helo.
It is all about the rotor head and the design of the helo around that. The helo I have the most hours in, the H-60 series, is a fully articulated rotor head design. No good for acro.  I would jump at the chance to spend a second in the machine in your link...today.

I assume you guys are aware that rc helicopter pilots are near the edge of what is physically believable these days

Have seen Chuck at various airshows - not sure if it is his standard kit, but he wore flip flops while flying at the Lancaster airshow in March. Look carefully at this photo of him coming in for a landing.

The music sucks but the commentary would be interesting. I can't even hear what the guy is saying with all that annoying "music."
Great flying.

There was a news helicopter pilot in Florida who was trying some aerobatics in a MD500 and shortly after he told the other news helo pilot to "watch this" he cut his own tail off. Reported in Flying magazine a few years ago.
