It will be a fun video to watch when the time comes to do a "real" autorotation when you only have one shot at it and the rotor speed is bleeding off! 🤣 I had a guy at my field arguing with me a few years ago when I was practicing this same way with auto's. I explaned that anytime I fly a new maching I have to learn how and when to properly flair the heli. I would rather "practice" while keeping some of the head speed available incase a "oh shit" arrises. I then explaind to him that I fly gasser's not electric Heli's, and when the time comes to do a real autorotation it's a one time thing! He continued his argument untill he saw my Bell 412 coming down inverted with the engine at idle. I leveled off, flipped it over and landed. I looked at him and asked "next question?" He walked away! With it's fulselage my heli weighs in at just around 15 lbs, I'd rather get it right the first time!
there is a setting in the Castle cartoons that changes how fast it goes from one RPM setting to another. in and auto, when you want to bail out, the rate at which it recovers to flight RPM is the change rate. We also use the change rate to go from IDLE RPM in our scale machines to flight RPM, where the spool up rate is rather slow. to give that scale effect of the full size going from idle RPM to Flight RPM. Problem is you cant do both a slow change rate and a high charge rate for an auto recovery. "HEY CASTLE...we need tow change rates!!!!!"
I thought a autorotation was a complete motor off off landing? (complete throttle hold until landing is complete) I mean you should see the rotor blades depleted on the ending and a safe landing …maybe I'm wrong?
Well, when you’re trying to find out the sweet spot for a recovery set RPM. Trying to set how fast it will spool back up if you hit the bail out in case it’s a botched auto. But Yes, a full auto is to the ground, motor off. If you see the rotor RPM decay enough to see them, you better commit all the way or else you’re about to crash!!
@@JestRR oh my God don't crash… Oh so that's just intentional getting the feel of the descent and monitoring the RPM I guess… Getting ready for the real autorotation. Which I don't think will happen but you never know good to be prepared… Thank you for your reply
Nice flying Tyler! Very good pilot skills.

Some people just do t get it….. that’s why we practice!!
Very slick!
Tyler makes it look easy.
he does doesn't he!!!
Amazing work - very cool seeing y’all work on that. When y’all are discussing “change rate”… what are you talking about?

What Transmitter are you using please?
Absolutely badass seeing you guys auto these. Autos are my favorite. Film more autos
Hard to get people to auto scale helis, but they’re out there….
lookn GOOD!!!!!!

@@jeffrenman4146 he did do full down autos with the heli.
@@JestRR that's pretty interesting… Thank you
wing loading ratio of roman 800 is too high for a real autorotation, I would not say it is impossible but almost impossible, ^^
Actually, they auto very nice even with their extremely shaped air foil for their blades. Just takes practice
@@JestRR thank you 🙏🏼 can’t wait to see full autorotation 🫡🫡🫡
@@P222RL he did a couple at the end…
