    Great video. It shows the pedal/cyclic coordination for a smooth ride

    After owning an experimental BD 4, sold it and building a new BD 4C. I am getting the helicopter bug right now after watching most of your videos and seeing that you don’t really need a runway. Fly Safe , Fly Often and Post more Videos

      Thank you Frank! It can be an expensive addiction but it is such a quantum different than anything I'd done before in fixed wing, I'm still loving it!

      Factory is currently shut down. If you can find a good one, and are good at turning wrenches, they're a good ship. I've flown some 450 hours on mine and don't plan to slow down!

    Klass! how much is one flight hour...

    • @captianhardy
      @captianhardy  Před 2 lety

      I've heard estimates of anywhere from 60 to 160 USD per hour. I consider 150 just to assure I have surplus to do major rebuilds. 280+ hours now and going strong!

    Hi Jim:
    I'm interested in knowing more about the Rotorway Helicopter.
    I live in Houston but need to be in Dallas on business next week.
    Could I buy you lunch? Would like to do some hanger talk with you.
    thanks,
    Joe

      I guess you're talking about how little I move the cyclic? (stick) You just need enough to control the trends any more you're just over controlling!

      Mainly because the camera is mounted internally and it takes more production value than I have in my stores of talent? I did get a picture of the ship tagged onto this video! czcams.com/video/GpD2SjJKgpA/video.html
