Brings back good memories of flying the 300. It's really slow but a great trainer and a nice machine to fly.
thank you so much . this is what i need to see before my first flight with the instructor . 👏🏻
Excellent video and demonstration of your skills
I like your Practice at the Helipad! Very good! Bravo!!!!
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent.....!!!! Many years ago, I soloed in the OH-23 (Hiller12E) at Ft Wolters TX... The other half of our company had the TH-55, which I admired also... Great film on your part with excellent touch control in your various demonstrations on hovering. .. Please do put out more of these!!!!! Gordon in Maui
My dad was a Southern Airways CFI at Wolters. I often wonder who - and how many - WOC’s he trained.
Great video---fun to see how you refine your skill set!
Nice... I miss flying the 300. Thanks for the post!
I fly them sometimes. 😁
I soloed in the older 269 back in 1970. Good job young man!
Perfect demonstration of skill sets.
Great video, great flying!
Brings Back fond memories of flying the 300c far better than the Robinson R22 IMHO.
You mean the button I keep holding and push repeatedly? That's the clutch control and it's actually a flip switch. It's used to engage the clutch little by little, always keeping the engine rpm between certain limits (hence the multiple clicks). After the rotor is fully coupled to the engine you leave the switch in 'engage' position and close the guard so you can't disengage it inadvertently during flight.
Haha I love doing pirouettes when I taxi too 👏🏻 definitely one of the funnest taxi manoeuvres🤫🤭
Thanks for posting, good stuff!
Sweet video! Im about 24hrs into Schweizer training myself. Looks like youre doing well
Bro you've got an excellent hand on controls I envy you. Been qualified on enstrom 280 fx and I know how much unstable these little aircrafts are so I must say marvellous!
great video!!
Fantastic. And very helpful. Thanks.
Nicely done.
Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for the flying lesson.
Very interesting. Thanks a lot.
excellent video
Perfect IP. This made me remember Fort Rucker ALA.
All These Years Later ... BRAVO !
It's called collective friction. When properly adjusted, it holds the collective in the manually preset position. Not to be used during hover however! But can be practical when cruising and needing one hand for setting radios, flipping over the map etc. I use it here during initial climb, but only for a few seconds, as you can see. It will always allow for quick lowering of the collective by force, e.g. in case of an autorotation.
very interesting !! Thank you so much for share this video :)
You're welcome. Glad you liked it.
i flew one of those in TX nearly 10 years ago
This is my dream! I would love to fly one. Nothing else matter in this life to me more than flying. I hope one day I get this privilege. If God allows it. Thank you for that video, great job
because if the rotor system is balanced right, only a little force should be needed to hold the collective. very cool to know that it will still release during auto
Someone needs a checklist, beacon on prior to start, this indicates to others on the airfield that the aircraft is about to be started.
Nice flying though, thanks for sharing, and I loved the music you added.....
Made me remember ft. Wolters tx. Th 55s, class 71-15
As you engage the rotor clutch what do you keep doing with your right hand as it spins up, some sort of switch?
Thanks! Ur the man!
Makes you wanna fly!
That is one sweet machine.
Pretty good
The controls on the Robinson R-22 are VERY sensitive to the slightest inputs. The Schweizer seems to be slightly more forgiving on the inputs.
I'm guessing the motor is not strong enough or designed to handle the amount of torque/power required if the clutch was fully engaged with zero Nr.
What kid of clutch does it have? Is is belt/friction based involving a moving pulley or a disc/friction type like on a vehicle?
I've worked on helicopters for many years, but it was on the SH-60 for the Navy. Never seen how a piston powered helicopter works yet.
Hello there
What is the flight training ground in the United States?
Learn about the Schweizer 300
Is there in Atlanta?
Thank you!
Seems like a nice tight, resposive cyclic compared to some ultralight choppers I have seen on yt.
why do you keep engaging and disengaging the clutch im doing my training right now in the same helicopter and also what did you use to mount your go pro camera
Why do you have to taxi like an airplane. Can you not just get clearance to just depart on an agreed bearing if traffic is clear?
I see you pushing a button with a clicking sound as the rotor starts to spin. What button are you pushing?
Ive never flown a 300 but are you suppose to keep flipping the clutch engagement on/off like that?
In the older non ifr 300's you have to flip the switch constantly keeping the rpm at 1,500, and disengage it every time it drops 100 rpm. You do have to do this multiple times until the rotor picks up enough rpm and won't bog down the engine. in some of the IFR 300's it has an automatic clutch so you just need flip it once.
+Joe McD I just jam in on! And if it starts to bog then I use a 2x4 to give it a push!
I did not know you had to incrementaly engage the clutch. I have had a few hours in a R-22
Why is the pilot sitting in the left seat? Since before the dawn of time, the helicopter PIC position has been in the right seat. Very strange.
I liked your video very much. I am a future helicopter pilot, do you have any advice for me before I start flight school?
Just understand that helicopters are inherantly more difficult than planes to fly. For most people your first 5-8 hrs will be difficult. Then it will become almost second nature as time goes on. Just pay attention to your instructor
Bob Swagger Thanks!
cameron shultz No problem.
You use the twist throttle on the end of the collective.
👏👏👏
Neat helicopter. Where's the engine throttle? how di you rev up the engine?
Thank you Robbie..:)
Dinal Davis You're welcome.
the throttle is on the collective pitch lever like a motorcyle
Mark Godleman Thank you.
Sehr schönes Video.
Überraschend gegenüber anderen Hubschraubern: PIC position links
Ive discovered further into the movie your demonstrating hover exercises (hmm red face)
Depending on the size of your "wallet", the price varies from a private sale to a new factory built model. Based on what I saw doing a quick Google search of a Schweizer 300c, your looking at a price rage of $100,000 (used/private sale) to $400,000 (New/2013 manufacture date).
Hope this helps.
One question, why were you on the left side?
Because you fly a Schweizer 300 from the left hand side. Right hand side controls are the ones that can be removed when carrying passengers.
I take flight lessons in a S-300CBi and the PIC always sits on the right, great video btw, loved it. For example: i.ytimg.com/vi/uoTAPjaxKkQ/maxresdefault.jpg Thats a picture of one person flying from the right side.
There's little doubt you, to put it in the vernacular, OWN the Schweizer S300. I am just a lowly X-Plane simmer trying to fly this machine and I gotta say it's a profound challenge. I've read that doing so in a simulation is actually more complicated that learning on the real helicopter. I suspect you never have to use any program like X-Plane but your inputs would be appreciated nonetheless. Thank you.
Try dcs world and buy the Huey module and fly in vr. I too also have xp but like flying Huey in dcs
@@r3ady150 The challenge of the 300 Schweizer keeps me coming back to it. Any time I don't crash the 300 between take-off and landing I count as a win for me. I fly the Nimbus UH-1 with a little better success in X-Plane. It's larger so less "squirrely". All reports of DCS Huey claim it's very nice to fly. The CH-47D in X-Plane is the easiest for me but at ~12 tons empty you definitely need to plan in advance in which direction you plan to fly it. I will try DCS Huey when major sale hits.
I was planning to be a helicopter pilot but costs for private + commercial here exceed $110,000 in nz, I just settled for being a digger operator it only cost $3500 for the course much cheaper, maybe when I've saved up enough of yearly wages I'll try for it but also the fact they use R22's to train in and it's a helicopter with a very bad crash record it's a little offputting tbph.
+thedisciple25 Ive been a youtube pilot for nearly 4 years now. Cost is very little. and I can drink while piloting. :)
How do i set the RPM? With the collective?
The throttle is located on the collective. Twist towards you to lower RPM. Twist away from you to increase RPM.
That RSA fuel injection start right there.
If you're wearing flight crew epaulettes in a Schwiezer, you're going to get made fun of 🤣🤣🤣
Een helikopter die door de lucht taxiet. Bizar
Very nice. Please let me know where to get money to fly. Seriously

Like if you have book-marked it!
Blimey! 5 minutes clicking switches before you can even get airborne. Half of the video is spent switching the fricken thing on. I realize the point is to help people with the procedure, but why on Earth does there need to be a five minute procedure? Maybe some folks enjoy it, but for me, it would take a lot of the fun out of flying. They could land a man on the Moon nearly 50 years ago, but starting an aircraft in 2017 still takes five minutes. You'd think they could get a computer to just do all that for you with a simple push button. I think I'll stick to my bicycle - it's 19th Century technology and it doesn't fly, but at least all you need to do is get on it and start pedaling. Takes a second.
crack the window and let the fly out, jeez.
