    Fellow Helicopter pilot here. Your chopper is a beaut! I am particularly a big fan of the Hughes 500, especially the D and E series, but also love the MBB Bo 105. I can vouch for Heavy D's comments on the hovering aspect. Once you learn how to do it, it's second nature, but sometimes you need the "Hover Fairy" to tap you on the head during your training and suddenly it all makes sense. Key is ...small inputs, don't stir the pot! It's like trying to balance a ball bearing on a sheet of glass. You also want to avoid dynamic rollover at all costs as if it happens and you pass the COG then your probably not coming back from that.... flying a Heli is harder than it looks, believe me.
    Heavy D, You have an amazing range of skills! I only discovered your channel a week ago and I have been watching what you do. Amazing work and great quality video's. Cheers from Oz

    Mate, just awesome. I never comment on videos but this is great. I was the youngest person to fly solo around the world in a single fixed wing, that went well but I then survived a bad crash after an engine failure on takeoff in a vintage biplane. Diagnosed a paraplegic, I managed to get back to walking somewhat okay, back to certain fixed wing flying but learnt to fly choppers as an incomplete paraplegic. I love rotary. This video will inspire a new wave of pilots. I’d love to bring the Super Cub across from Nashville and say g’day. Do you live near the Patey’s?

    Being a private pilot myself, I extremely loved this video man. I fly mainly Cessna 182's with the CAP AirForce auxiliary. We do search and rescue, damage assessment, reconnaissance. You explained everything very thoroughly and professionally, you fr could be an awesome instructor. Helicopters have a lot of the same round dial(steam gauges) that fixed wing planes have, more than I thought! I'm used to G1000 system with a few backup round dials. Do they make a Garmin 1000 or foreflight for helicopters that you know of? One of my dreams was to be a medivac pilot but didn't persue it because of the hour requirement you need to have would take forever and tons of money without joining military. One day I'm going to get my heli license and own a helicopter, for sure. Keep it up Heavy D team. Y'all guys are down to earth and just plain awesome.

    Since I know sh*t from Shinola about helicopters but until a life changing injury was a mechanic who worked on everything from Tricycles to Bulldozers as well as boats and race cars for fun I do know the words preventive maintenance and periodic mechanical and safety inspections are and a "loose wire" to the starter is something that more than likely should of been caught when doing a P,M,&S inspection and what's up with having an engines charging system not functioning properly and taking your aircraft for a flight, doesn't that whirlybird have a volt/amp gauge in it? Seriously I am not trying to be a smart ass I am just curious how a loose wire wire just suddenly occurred on an aircraft and an engine charging system went into the crapper all at once. Lastly I was under the impression that multi engine aircraft could start engine off a running engine. Like I said earlier I know basically nothing about helicopters and airplanes and I am not trying to be a troll, I am merely asking.

Seems like both accidents are similar training at night, known icing conditions, IMC and no crew chiefs on board as they had all pilots in training with a Veteran Flight Instructor. Please from now on when training pick ONLY ONE bad thing then go out don’t try to train in conditions where the search and rescue helicopter wouldn’t fly in!!! To many great men and women lost in the last 2 weeks! May they all Rest In Peace!!!

    I flew OH-58'S Kiowa's for 18 years in the Army and I remember when I was learning how to hover at FT Rucker. I damn near had to reclass because I couldn't get it. After a stern talking to by the instructors I finally got it. I was threatened that I would be a infantry officer instead of a pilot and that was just enough incentive to get me to learn how to hover

    Such a cool video and super informational. Ive done a couple rotary lessons but more recently i've become an FPV pilot for drones. Not saying flying drones are even remotely close, but like you said any change in speed or direction is a combination of moves of a couple things. Tough to initially learn and get the feel for, but damn its so much fun once you get it all flowing together and youre just flying by feel. Awesome vid man
