I have a 1987 Coleman Colorado. I am looking for the pole that goes across the ceiling. Not sure if I will keep this camper. Would prefer a high top van.

You talk way too long about your mishearing ‘lawn’ for ‘long.’ Utterly pointless! Also, nobody - nobody calls the Bell 505, the ‘JetRanger X.’ The smallest twin-engined helicopters are the MBB Bölkow Bö 105 and the Airbus AS355. Neither type is still in production.

Fantastic! Thanks!

I have more videos this helicopter

Superb an lovely ❤❤❤❤

But far from the most attractive.

Hey, what’s the advantage and disadvantage of round nose and the pointy nose beside the leg room?

Is the Schweitzer the same as the Hiller helicopter? The Hughes 500 C and D have a different manufacturer now and are called by another name. Is this true? Thanks for your featured helicopters, very satisfying and educational.

They make the heli lightier they remove the rotor head anti vibrator and pax chair..

407 entry level….? 🤣 💰

You really don't have your facts right. 😕

You dwell way too much on the parachute.

An example of this helicopter can be e seen at the Helicopter Museum at Weston Super Mare. It is undergoing preservation in the workshop area but can be viewed by visitors.

I can never get used to the pilots fly from the right seat. The old TV programs like Whirly Birds always had the captain (Pilot) flying from the left seat.

The tall mass is used to avoid tail strikes.

Missing the big point. You can rack up big time flight hours for very little $. Controls are the same it looks to me, Cyclic, Collective, AT pedals.

It looks nice, but $600K? For $750K you could have this: czcams.com/video/zPtgxj1Yu-s/video.html

The best helicopter on the market today is HX50.check it out.

In 1993 I bought a camperoo it was made in Australia very similar to this Camper it was fantastic easy to set up easy to pack away I could carry stuff on the top. Unfortunately I wore it out. I paid $2500 for it and unfortunately I can’t afford another one. I’d like to get a used one because I’m still traveling with the motorcycle.

Would be perfect on top a Skoolie...

The spiritual successor to the Colorado would currently be the Vida Aire6 which is a spiritual successor to the livin lite quicksilver line.

Sw my first H-2one (05/24) in AR. Flew H-one/3/46's in Navy but never seen the H-twenty-one till yesterday. (keyboard failure, sorry😢). It alway's fascinated me (progression thereof).

Its a shame the spiritual successor to Livin Lite isnt nearly as nice. Vida's Aire60 / 80 series are more crowded and a pain in the butt erect and take down. The legs of the bed on the Aire60 also are not joined together like on the Livin Lite so there's no rigidity to provide extra strength. Oh and they use dissimilar metals for the rivets and other fasteners.

The mosquito is a great little helicopter but the turbine version is actually the worst one 😂 The engine is a converted apu and these do not like the kind of abuse a helicopter puts on them. Id actually feel safer behind the stick of the two stroke version

I've taught in the Enstrom, R22/44/66, and Bell 206B/L. The statements about rotor inertia are probably confusing people. When a helicopter pilot talks about inertia, there are two concerns: how long do I have to lower the collective, and how much energy is stored in the rotor for the landing phase of an autorotation. The Enstrom is clearly a high inertia system... Enough energy that a low rpm warning system isn't required or fitted. Enough energy at the bottom to pick the aircraft back up, pedal turn 180°, and then... well, pretty much flop back onto the ground. Of the two accidents you showed from Wikipedia, the first one, the pilot was one of my instructors. He was in pretty bad shape from that crash ( he spent several minutes trapped in the wreckage at the bottom of the river ). But I don't think it's fair to even consider that as a strike against the Enstrom... Any helicopter will have catestrophic failures if you install incorrect components. The killer aspect of the Enstrom is the maintenance costs. I've seen many examples of people who buy them, fly a few years, and then are forced to sell them when the cumulative costs of maintenance get too high. ( They also need a lot of attention, including greasing all the fittings every 10 hours - the Robinsons purposely don't have any maintenance like that - no grease fittings at all ). Back to the rotor inertia issue, the R44 has less inertia, I'd call it "moderate" inertia... It does great touchdown autos, if you're even slightly skillful. The Enstrom is so easy, I've coached a student pilot through a touchdown auto on their 2nd or 3rd lesson. Part of that is having oleos, versus the stiff gear of a Robinson or Bell. Still, Enstrom kinda need those qualities... engine failures are not exactly rare on piston Enstrom helicopters. The radio station traffic reporter for WBZ here in Boston was proud of the fact that in the dozen engines failures he had in the Enstrom, he never damaged a machine. But still, 12 engine failures tells you something! ( For those who don't know, Enstrom did the old strategy of using a smaller engine to keep it lighter, but working that engine very hard, either by running higher RPMs, or through turbocharging... Robinson recognized the problem with that approach and did the opposite - put in a larger engine so even at "max" power it was loafing. The Robinsons have always had very good engine reliability. Final word on rotor inertia - R66 is about equivalent to the R44, but the R22 is very low inertia. R22s are difficult to autorotate. You have to nail all the numbers and timing to get good results, whereas the Enstrom ( and Bell 47/206 ) are very forgiving...

Nice video! My favorite helicopter of all time is the Airbus AS365 Dauphin helicopter, an absolute beauty and well performing rotorcraft. Could you ever please do a video on that sometime?

What is the price for mosquito helicopter

I just started my training in an R22 and, ya know, it reminds me of a chibi helicopter.

question.... Knowing what you know today. do you prefer the 407 gxi or the 505? Why?

Flew in one of these yesterday

She is the baby all right and my other one is the Bolkow 105.

Gonna get this and ship it out of country so I can fly it around Africa. Thanks for inspiring me 😅. Don’t worry I understand the risks and I’ll have my friend teach me, he’s a fire rescue helicopter pilot (2nd generation).

Thanks for the stats

Make a drone like this and lift person in harness! This would be much shorter and it would fit even in a jeep or vagon kind of car

The mighty Naner'naner!

Thanks for sharing

🇳🇵 what will be the price of this helicopter in Nepal ?

Still around, but way too expensive for what you're getting. Standing area could also be bigger, and better vented for cooking. If I have to set up another tent area to cook, I might as well be in a ground tent.

04:50 - Just lost it 🤣

My golf cart can handle me and 3 ladies plus a cooler of beer 🤣

QUESTION/S: What's the LEAST 2 people can weight to fly. Does more propellers mean it can lift more weight.

Nice video!

I'm no pilot, but I love flying these in Battlefield 1942: Desert Combat, lol. It's so responsive and light. The only drag was they didn't have hellfires, so they were only good for anti-personnel. Then I found OpenRFA and was able to extract and modify the data in BF's RFA files to make a Frankenchopper with all sorts of goodies strapped to it. I then placed it in Bocage, El Alamein, Ambush at Checkpoint Delta and Desertshield off in the corner of the map. Spawn in, grab a jet, fly over and dump it then come back in this chopper and drive my friends in the LAN party nuts :D

Loved everything about the S 58...and that awesome round sound is unbeatable.,

Where is the position of swash plate rotor ?

00:08 “ … from point A to point B”. Actually this was the initial selling point for this aircraft. One of earliest publicity campaigns had a picture of an older guy standing next to one of these with the slogan: “Since I bought the Enstrom I’ve hardly done a thousand miles in my Mercedes”. Unless you are constantly having to fly to places with no landing facilities, a fixed wing craft is far more feasible for getting from said point A to point B. If you want to fly a helicopter rather than an air taxi don’t bother with this one. People don’t buy an F28 for aerial work, there’s a reason why …

Whew , Not Robinson 😅

Any time I see one of these helicopters I think of the MH-6 Little Birds used by Delta Force during the raid to free Eric Muse during Operation Just Cause. Awesome bird!

Ya better watch out Airwolf might come over the trees and blow it out of the sky.
