Since l was a kid, always wanted to pilot a helicopter. 67 now & thinking it won't happen but really enjoy watching the technical aspects!! a new subscriber.
Hey Paul, if you get an introductory flight lesson, you might be handed the controls. I certainly was when I had one back in 1991. While the pilot held a hover a few feet above the ground, he allowed me to use the rudder pedals and then once we were at altitude he allowed me to take the collective and cyclic, with instruction of course.
Got a question, you said you were going to run the engine up to 100%, the eng rpm was only at 80%? Do you run the engine % up to where the main rotor is at its running rpm?
I am not an expert but because of a very good Documentary on Discovery-Channel a few months ago about this topic: Test-pilots and 🚁-Engineers, etc., ... they compared the NOTAR-Technology to some other Helicopters and this invention was definitely the one with the best conditions and less than 1h of maintenance per flight. 👍🏼‼️ PS: it was the MD EXPLORER / 900 N. So I think that it’s probably not more with the 520N or 600N.
Hi, from a maintenance perspective, the main difference is that whilst you have no tail rotor/driveshaft/gearbox to think about, it is replaced with the variable pitch 'fan' under what we call the 'dog cage' It is has TT straps which have a 5 year life so less to go wrong and less to maintain (and we love the safety aspect), but the TT straps are not cheap so my guess is that it is probably the same cost wise overall but the NOTAR looks cooler! The effectiveness of the NOTAR anti torque is fantatsic once you figure it out, the key is that 60% of the yaw is countered by coanda effect and not the thrust from the fan at the tail, in fact 'pedals neutral' has the duct almost closed and the work is happening with the vertical stabilizers and the YSAS which does a great job. I trained in a cabri with a fenestron so there are some similarities in that you need to be a bit ahead of the game with the pedal inputs but now that I have 100 hours on type I find myself preferring it to the 500E, likely just habit and it a lot quieter!
From an instrumentation perspective, looks as if it's biased towards the left seat for single pilot operations. Is that typical for this aircraft? I'm used to seeing most helicopters single pilot from the right seat.
That is correct. Hughes, now MD Helicopters are one of few helicopters where PIC flies from the left seat. Most other helicopters including Airbus, Bell, Sikorsky are flown from the right seat by the PIC although, if dual control equipped, they can be flown from either seats.
Silly question maybe... Why did the Rotor RPM gauge R needle suddenly jump up to match the other needle at 20 on the gauge. I thought they were suppose to be the same throughout there ranges ( Married ) . Was a great video, nothing sounds better than a Helicopter starting up . Thanks
hard to listen to; " This is the Ammm This is the ah em, Mmm this is the ah em the friction is aeee em. Ready to ahhh am to eeeh! Listen to how you deliver this so called start up!
Starter button is on collective pitch lever above throttle, unless engine equipped with full authority digital engine controller, then it’s usually just a three position switch on the console with OFF, IDLE, and FLIGHT positions.
Flies different than any other helicopter without the rotor you know how to have to operate the rotor pedals your tail rotor is different cuz you don't have a tail rotor flies differently than flies fast they use it for a better back ship rescue cargo all the way up to the cops so you use the aircraft lumber and farming they use aircraft for cuz it has no rotor and they get close to the trees can I even use it for rescue it's one of the number one helicopters people ask for better back all the way for lumber and calling all the way to cargo ship hauling coast guards use it it has many uses without the tail rotor it's one of the most popular helicopters floated once the United States army
What is that horrible high pitched sound that makes the first part of this unwatchable with the sound on! The dogs across the street started barking! This is way before engine start.
Need instructions on how to land, stuck in the air. Please advise.
1/ Locate and remove Jesus nut. 2/ Prepare for rapid landing.
Any other assistance you require, just ask.
@@olsmokey Thanks.
Will keep you posted on my progress.
@@Techn0forlife 💀😭😭
Just let go of the controls! They're just like gyrocopters, they land themselves. Good luck!
Seriously!!!!how do we land? 🙌😭
This helped me so much since I didn't get a manual with mine. I've been staring at it in my driveway for months just dreaming.
😂
You too!?
God, I love the sound of a helicopter starting up!
I totally agree! It's the sweet sound of pure adventure.

Thanks for a quick guide, saved my life
Also important to note, that in case of a “hot start”, it’s imperative to continue to depress the starter button after twisting the throttle off.
Definitely. A pilot once said "keep bloody cranking", or something similar.
Great video! How can you confirm that the cyclic trim is neutral? TY!
Caried out slowly is an understatement
But it's good when you're trying to start the chopper while watching this on an iPhone screen...
Interesting to see. My Fire Department uses an MD520 NOTAR helicopter, Interesting look at the inside!
Awesome 520 NOTAR - 🚁👌🏼👍🏼‼️
(would love to take a flight with it)
Haha,, bet you wouldn't like the cost of owning one!🤣🚁
Very, Very cool.

Excelente, muchas gracias.
beautiful helicopter
Fantastic helo..ONE of my favs. Maybe ANOTHER life!
Thank you for your great footage, I love these Notar's and the whole Hughes/ MD Family, keep up the great work. I Liked & Subscribed 👍😎
Thanks!
love the start start up whir.
I love the little bird, one of my favorite helicopters.
I noticed the exhaust port on the back is cantered slightly to the left to help counter the engine torque.
No key needed ,or how do you start it?never mind comming down once i take it up😊
Thankyou. A great video.
Thanks
I was just flown with models
Now to get to real size!
is that the battery making that noise
はじめまして！日本より書き込みしています。MD520は全くの雲中や霧の中でも離着陸や飛行出来るのですか？
What is that buzzing noise from the start of the video?
It's wonderfull machine. I wish one day I can fly one
You will.
Got a question, you said you were going to run the engine up to 100%, the eng rpm was only at 80%? Do you run the engine % up to where the main rotor is at its running rpm?
I think they never use 100% power for safety reasons to keep the power reserve and engine over using
@@djsollar If I remember right when we flew around alot in the MD500 the pilot set it 92%??
Thanks, mine didn't come with the manual. Now I can fly
Maybe a stupid question. On some helicopters the pilot is on the left seat and others on the right what is the criteria???
How is the maintenance of NOTAR effectiveness/cost compared to conventional tail rotor?

@@MartinVarley good for you on successful flying endeavor. I'm so disappointed i backed away from it.
Just what would you pilots do without that ck list ? Wonder. If you had an emergency? No ck list ? Would you be able to fly it ??
Fantastic! 💙

Is it still called a carjack if I stile a helicopter?
Good err informative err video err err

ive always seen these with the main man on the left

Er, I got er, 25 er seconds er in and er, had to er give up. Er couldn’t listen to er anymore er… ers.
Nice chopper !! 🍺 😎 👍
Love to come out and fly out there with you anytime in my most favorite helicopter
Well, that was about as exciting as watching paint dry!
I pee sitting down sometimes too. But only when I have the runs.
I stole one of these one time and went for a joy ride,never flown a helicopter before but I knew how to fly one by studying videos..
Strange. I usually just press E to start the engine :D
Helicopter helicopter!

why is the camera man not covering up what he is doing... i didnt even see what he did to start the engine

For real 😳
Not going to get off in a rush
I think this helicopter is perfect for Ukrainian army
The Notar
5:07 so he actually doesn’t show what buttons to press to initiate engine start 😂
Starter button is on collective pitch lever above throttle, unless engine equipped with full authority digital engine controller, then it’s usually just a three position switch on the console with OFF, IDLE, and FLIGHT positions.
Good grief there's a lot to do before you even started up LOL

Man I wish I could make enough money to own and drive a helicopter. :S
Search "cheapest helicopters you can buy". Mosquito helicopters start around 3k.
Uum.....errr.....ahhhh.......um......errr
You failed!!!!! You Never let go of the starter button
OMG...

Ok good. Now I’ll go rob the one at the airport
Cuihhhh

bad cameraman...
Idve done a little taxiway practice cause bird was already running ,,,,,, DUUUH,,,,, go fly anyway
Uh uh uh uh uh
Big big no no walking to the back,, might have a brain fart some day and walk back into one with things that spin ..
Horrible sound. Can't understand most of what you are saying
Cant make them run on batteries can you Elon Fart Man.
This was terrible.
What shitty audio.
