Very nice.

even a 22 can hit 14,000 ft DA

The R44 has a density altitude of 14,000 ft as well. Ive flown as high as 11,000 MSL (6000 AGL). I think the R66 has three seats in back but other than that, they are the same build

So cool ! Thanks for this video !

R44 uses a Lycoming reciprocating engine, R66 uses a Rolls Royce Turbine Engine, also the R66 can max out at 14,000 ft where the R44 maxes around 7,000... main differences. When he goes over the startup procedure you can hear him mentioning N1, referring to speed of the first stage compressor in a turbine

The common term is counterclockwise.

I love Helicopter.

i see my house!

What's the difference between Robinson R44 and R66?

from 3:01-3:05 i had an eargasim

from 3:01-3:05 i had an eargasim

i didnt know robinson made a turbine engine. i only thought there was the r22 and r44

i love fixed wing flying, but helicopters are just exhilarating, even in video

what is so much better about the 66 than the 44?

@happyhouse152 but knowing robinson, there'll no doubt be a key for security reasons to turn on the power probably

@amj54321 that's what it looks like. that's how you start a Bell 407, too, and a lot of other bigger helicopters too, for that matter. In the 407, you start the starting sequence by pushing the button once, then just modulate the fuel with the grip in the collective. real easy.

@seaboo143 come do your training in the US, it's cheap by comparison, and schools will help you get a student visa. depending on your skills, to go from private, commercial, instrument, and instructor will cost you about $60 000. or, you could try the military in your country for training. it's never too late to start: average age of people starting flight training is in the low 30's...

@JcXtreme72 torrence, in los angeles, calif

@seaboo143 it takes 9-18 months, but you will most likely never fly like this.

it looks so easy when he lands again :D and when he was flying the rollways :D

Awesome video, nice flight and not to forget excellent landing by pilot. Thanks for the vid!

That was Excellent..

Torrance.....

I love how this guy handles the aircraft. Very smooth.

NICE! I'll be purchasing a GoPro for my helo training as well!

We purchased the Motorsport Gopro kits from a local dealer in Australia. Cost was only $340 per camera + $40 for headstrap :)

so am i to understand you don't have to hold the R66's starter down until N1 reaches its self sustaining point? just one press and release?

R66 for Robinson is a big step. OK, they always have big steps.

too bad the camera is shaking his head like crazy

Nice footage of the Palos Verdes CA coast after taking off from the Torrance Airport. FYI, the Long Beach, LGB airport is about 10 miles away to the south.

That has to be SoCal..LGB?

really nice flight and pilot.

very nice video i think iam going to try and start flying heilicopters!!

@SlittyDrake Its a turbine so a starter button

@SlittyDrake this is an R66

No, they spin anticlockwise. Watch the shadows at start up.

the R66 blades spin clockwise??!!??

awesome video, the R66 is really a true beauty!!
