Wow never realized how easy it is to fly a helicopter
Greatest how to fly a helicopter video I’ve ever seen. 😎
Love it - i got a HUGE pooleys board and it knocks into everything
Get rid of the damn background music, and use a better microphone for narrating.
Really excellent instructor !!! Kudos.
Thanks. Where IS the power control ?
So it would seem that to do an unpowered descent (to auto rotate) I think it's called you would use the (collective?) push downward, and as you near the ground you would pull upward to slow the aircraft's descent to gently land?
Excelente Comandante. 👏
Doesn't tell you anything about flying a helicopter. Same as watching a video so you can fly the space shuttle. And yes, I have about 4k flying helicopters.
👍🙏👍🙏🙏👍🙏👍thank you👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏
What did you say you were wearing at 00:22 ?
Thank you for the tutorial! Now I just need a helicopter
thanks for the basics this will.help me.understand it more for battlebit
First wind the rubber band real tight, then ..........
Very informative. I'm a lapsed PPLA with IMC rating. I'm also 66 years old this year. Am I too old to start learning to do this? You make it look straightforward but of course it's not at all.
This is awesome. I've always dreamed of flying a helicopter. ❤
holy shit man. that was right on the horizon. exact same altitude
sick
Good job. HCPL on JetRanger
Easy peasy 🚁😊👍🚁
Awesome always wanted to fly a Wirly bird 🥰👍🚁
You can learn to fly a HC in 5 min then you will crash it.
Are you still flying helicopters
I am indeed. I've been busy getting my commercial license and instrument rating. Now I'm flying commercially and things are settling down, I'm looking to start CZcams again sometime soon.
Dude it's literally the defintion of using the joy stick on the controller of a PS4 for an analogy
basically GTA, same way i learned to drive a car
Shame it’s now an ugly container port.
Anyone here learning how to fly a helicopter so they can write it into their story?
Cool
This video would be so much better with real flight audio instead of the completely inappropriate music!!! (Was there music playing when the video was being recorded?? Of course not!! So WHY did you add it!?)
Thank you for the arsey comment. If you'd of took less time writing stupid comments and more time reading the description, that would explain why!
but my helicopter is very smalll
which helicoptor is this can you tell me
Hiya, where did get the embroided pilots patch from? Been searching everywhere for one of these.
I took lessons in a cessna in my 20s wish I kept it up. A helicopter was always a goal. Need to revisit it now I think.
Very interesting Carl.What kind of outlay will this cost you in a years operating? Also,when will she need to be retired for good?
I would watch your video if you could speak english rather than British stuff. So rude!
Awesome catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
Great video! I've been finding my CB-3 far too cumbersome, the A6 idea looks the best fit. Cheers for making this, helpful for laying out a kneeboard etc.
Had to stop watching. Horribe music beat
It looks a lot nicer than the one I had. how fast is the max cruise actually in it at altitude?
How much does it cost to learn to fly this type of helicopter & I assume to learn all the radio talk ? Good video cheers
You're a great teacher. I fly remote control helis and I want to learn to fly real helis.
Get rid of the music not appropriate
Does helicopter will auto level itself if you release the stick? And does the stick has a spring to pull the stick to the center and you have to push the cyclic against the spring force? I only have flown a RC or FPV drones and never been inside a real helicopters so I cannot relate to it.
I would have enjoyed this more without the music while you are talking
the big problem with your video is we cant actually see your feet and or mechanical actions not good ok we need to see things in play actually happening in real time with the craft
Those vest 😂😂😂😂
I hope Jehovah God let us have helicopters in Paradise. It will be awesome… 2089… What
Looking to get into helicopter flying myself pal . Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated 🙏
Are there helicopters that exist that incorporated system that keeps pressure on the right pedal to counter the torque from the main rotor🤔
I wonder if anyone else is here bc of 'The Bubble '....
