@@95TBake The helicopter is perfectly safe if you simply flew it without exceeding its limits, also this is the most produced helicopter in the world. The only reason this helicopter has more accidents than other helicopters is because there are more Robinson R44’s flying around in the world than any other helicopter, most accidents are caused by pilot error. Also, since this is a very cheap and affordable helicopter many beginners and flight schools are using it, which increases the risk of an accident by pilot error. And if your worried about mast bumping, don’t fly it like a fighter jet and you’ll be fine. This is a civilian helicopter, it’s not made for doing crazy aerobatics.
@@95TBakenot a flaw moron. Mart bumping is a phenomenon that can occur with ALL teetering hinge two blade rotor systems. Like nearly all Bell helicopters. Mast bumping is the result of poor piloting.
Never seen it done with mixture rich... interesting.
Same
That could flood the engine so I wouldn't recommend
It’s a hot engine start technique and also dependant on where you are located globally - assists in starting by avoiding vapour lock.
@@The.Doctor.149all my years of flying injected airplanes and helicopters never heard of starting with the mix in. Always done it like this guy.
If i had one of these instead of saying clear... id drop my shades down n say "where we're going, we don't need roads"
Awesome
I have a great startup video of me starting my 15hp Honda outboard, so don’t get cocky there buddy.. 🤪😂
❤
This is the helicopter you buy to die in...
I’m interested to know why

@@willthomas3399this guy just wants attention. I have many hours in them. Not dead.
The start button is concentric within the emergency stop button??
The start button is located on the collective
Why is the governor off?
Govern is located on the Thrust, you switch it on and off, how do you see it when it's on and off just by looking
@@HeliPilot.co.z top right light on the caution panel is the governor off light.
@@marcusroulet4068 thanks 🙏
Y no smoking?
Bad Heli uuufff
I would never fly in a Robinson helicopter.... seen too many of them in crash videos, plus they really look flimsy.
So you're basing your decision off of a handful of videos and your ill informed opinion about build quality... Good job.
Stop watching cartoons
If you don’t want it to crash then don’t fly it like an acrobatic fighter jet, simple.
