That's an incredible invention of his, very daring to prove a point with grabbing the tail, but I guess he had to really. I wonder if he will do these clutches for the full range of heli sizes... Nice one Gaba..

Impressive. IF I had a 180 I'd be on the list.

I love how people are trying to get him to divulge his info. Hello let me show you my design before I publish so you can copy it. Classic hk way.
This does look promising for torque tubes. If this actually works and this guy gets a sponsor for it this could be a game changer for torque tubes.

Yeah. Wondering if his design scales well to larger birds. Could have a good thing on his hands.
