3D Actions by Sleepy Lam

Introduction

Sleepy Lam is consider by most as one of the top 3D pilots in Hong Kong.  His nickname "Sleepy" derived not simply from the fact that he always wear sleepy eyes, but from the fact that he could fly his helicopter inverted while dozing himself out.  Sleepy is a very humorous guy, and he likes to invent new moves which would bring laughter and wows to fellow pilots.  Sleepy's 3D skill is so good that in one event he got a perfect score from Mr. Dobashi Yukihiro, who was acting as judge for the event.  At that event, Sleepy did his 3D crazy moves with a 60 class Hirobo Cobra.  Yes! 3D with a heavy and big scale machine!  Sleepy tumble and flip his Cobra like his own hands, and according to Mr. Dobashi the reason why he gave Sleepy perfect score was that not once in his life ever saw somebody 3D a scale machine like Sleepy did.

Sleepy's flying skills are considered crazy but safe, just like his personal character.  Rumor has it that Sleepy could not hover his helicopter still with the right side up, but most of the time when I saw Sleepy crash his machine it was always the right side up, not inverted.  Some even teased Sleepy that he should mount the landing gear on top of his helicopters' rotor so that he could take of and land inverted, to minimize the chance of crashing...

Shuttle just exit a loop, with Elvis passed by	Here comes Shuttle chewing up Elvis' ass!

On one sunny day, Sleepy and Jason were doing dogfighting with their Raptor 30 and Shuttle CCPM.  Sleepy's Raptor has a nickname called "Elvis", due to the fact that it shake like hell.  As usual, Elvis was flying inverted all along, while trying desperately to catch up with Jason's Shuttle.  Jason's machine was so fast that he could humiliate Sleepy with looping and rolling his Shuttle in order for Sleepy's Elvis to catch up.  Mickey, a fellow pilot, took pictures of the whole chase.

Sleepy and Elvis	Poor Elvis, another defeat!

Later, with enough damage done, Jason landed his Shuttle for refuel.  Sleepy, bored of the defeat, flew his Raptor around in solo and asked photographer Mickey to take some picture of him inverting his "Elvis".

With Sleepy's creative mind, he asked Mickey to try to take a photo that looked like his Elvis is being pinned to his antenna inverted.  The above is the best Mickey could take.

Shuttle hovering near Elvis	What a shot!

With Sleepy's wicked mine started, he thought of a picture that his Elvis hover inverted with another helicopter hovered below.  He quickly yelled for Jason to fire up his machine, and Sleepy's wish came true when Jason's Shuttle took to the sky.

With the photos taken, Sleepy is ever happy, and continues to flip and roll his Elvis, while Jason retrieved his Shuttle after satisfying Sleepy's crazy ordeal.
