      @@janetrosierriccarosier6660 collective is the handle on your left side that when pulled up allows you to change blade pitch, thus giving the chopper lift. The throttle is mounted on the end of the collective handle and is twisted to increase rotation of the rotor blades. Both are used usually at the same time and in conjunction with the cyclic which changes the orientation of the rotor blades- all require a fenise since you are actually operating foot pedals, cyclic , throttle and collective at the same - Kind of like balancing a spinning plate on your head while juggling.

    Wow! Another great content! Like others have mentioned, I loved your squeals of delight and your facial expressions. I'm a retired police officer, and I had a lot of experience working with "Air Life" the helicopter ambulance that lands near accident scenes, and takes critically injured patients to trauma centers. Those pilots are amazing to watch them take off and land in so many challenging situations. I always thought how fun it would be to learn to fly a "chopper". I'm excited for you.

    Probably the best "first flight" helicopter video I've seen, and I've watched a bunch..My son in law is a CFI-2 and flies the R44 and Bell 206, He promises me he's going to teach me, but it is quite expensive even with the family discount!

  • @JohnLinwoodUK
    @JohnLinwoodUK 6 месяцев назад +31

    You did great Kay. Ironically smaller helicopters like the R22 and R44 are harder to fly than bigger helicopters because they are very sensitive to wind and cyclic movements. The larger helicopters are much smoother and less "jumpy".

  • @danielbasovitch5087

    Kay, this video Reminds me of how your passenger looked like when you ladies flew together not too long ago! She had never been in a small aircraft before and was making different facial expressions throughout the video. That’s exactly what you’re doing in this video with the helicopter!! It’s just too funny how all of us can get overwhelmed and surprised when we are introduced to new things. You look really happy being up there, hopefully you’ll pursue this dream as well! Hats off to the Doctor for the awesome introduction for you and sharing his knowledge and helicopter! Have a great weekend!!

    Nice video. My son in law retired from the army three years ago as a black hawk pilot. Now he’s back at fort Rucker as an instructor pilot on the Lakota . We just had a Lakota to crash in the Troy area on their first solo flight ! it looked like they did what you were saying earlier to her about when you’re taking off and it’s windy and you overreacted the blades got in the ground and it just tore the helicopter all pieces. Luckily they did not die only a couple, broken legs and that kind of thing but they were lucky! Thanks for sharing this video with us out here in south east Alabama home of fort Rucker the largest helicopter training center in the world!☮️❤️

    Watching you try your first hover brought back a flood of memories of my trying to learn. In my case it was yeehaw rides cowboy! It took me 3 hours to finally get the skill. The second hardest thing to do in a helicopter is the autorotation. After that, helicopters are easier to fly than fixed wing. Great video and good luck with your helicopter acquisition.

    Helos are so cool, when I worked in NYC some years back, I would get my lunch and go down to the 30th St. Heliport and watch the come in and was always amazed how effortless the pilots landed with such persition. They were usually running back and forth from AC. A huge treat was when Trump's Casino copter came in, it was a beast! Def. On my bucket list to go up❤

    I think you’ll find that your arm will eventually get too tied trying to hover the stick in the air versus resting your hand on your knee and use your fingers to move the cyclic.

  • @robertshaver4432
    @robertshaver4432 6 месяцев назад +6

    Helicopters: in hover if moving forward then tilt back BUT then re-level right as you reach zero, if sideslipping left then bank right BUT then re-level as you reach zero speed. akin to balancing a marble on a basketball. In a hover: Every corrective move requires a counter move back to level with perfect timing. Good luck on your quest!

    • @trexinvert
      @trexinvert 5 месяцев назад

      That's the problem with helicopter lessons. Gotta learn to hover first. "Airplaning" it with frwd speed and banking/pitching is all fine, but at zero air and ground speed things are different. Now it's a helicopter.

    Now go fly a Javelin Gyroplane and enjoy rotor flying at a much more affordable price. The gyros can't take off like a helicopter but can do short decebding hovers and land like one with auto rotation. I flew one outside of Anahoc airport a few years back, and we chased alligators in the marshes just like you guys were flying.
    A Javelin with a cockpit and body like the Helicopter you're flying is about $160K brand new.
    I think the best part of them is I can park one in my garage because they have wheels insteead of skids. And I could fly cross country in one like your Cherokee!

    @andybeck2123 6 месяцев назад +1

    great video, enjoy all your content, but especially your interest in rotary wing. If you liked the helicopter, you will love, love, love Gyroplanes.. The autogiro (gyrocopter, gyroplane) is as fun, maybe more, at a fraction of the cost of learning or flying vtols. Gyros will do everything a helicopter will do, except hover in place. It is safer than another aircraft, very affordable slow and low. Store it along with your fixed wing. There is a variety of uses, but more fun. They will not carry large load, or go fast, and once you get into it, warning, you may not want to fly anything else. worth your time to check them out. Again, thanks for all the really great videos

    Good Job, Best way for me to Think about Translational Lift is At Hover Your Kind of sitting in a Micro Burst, Steady Downward Flow, As zyou are Moving Forward, Blades are Pushing against Still Air.
    Trained in Late 70's Vegas at Hughes Air, Now North Las Vegas, Ray Poss and Harry Christopher were My Instructors, Ray Continued On to Some Extreme Choppers, He Trained Vietnam Pilots, Low Level Night flying, One of First lessons was at a Hover and he would Call Off 180 Right 180 Left 360 Left, 180 Right, Happend Quickly, Fun Stuff, Also a Good one Was trace out back and Forth on the Number 2 at 6'.
    Is Cool To Control Left, Right, Up, and down. However you wanted to The #1 Machine to Operate.
    The Chopper was a Hughes 300. N9542F.
    Looked it up Later, Was On Lone Wolf Mcquade witj Chuck Norris. When I Trained in it, it was well used, In The Movie, Looked Like it Had Been Stripped Dow, Powder Coated, Likely Most New on Everything, If I hit a Lottery, I Want to Buy it.

    Thank you both for the helicopter flying lessons. I thought the plane was sensitive machine.( I have only flown "Afterburner and Microsoft B111")
    I think you will do EXCELLENT on becoming a helicopter pilot Kay. It is Great that he teaches auto rotation which is a life saving technique. Growing up in the 60's, our neighbor and family friend learned to fly out of his front yard using a little VW powered gyrocopter. He made it in the local paper with pictures when he crash landed next to the local fire station. Later on, he was one of the first to become a pilot for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Aero Bureau. He made flying a helicopter look sooo easy.

    Kay, I have no flying knowledge whatsoever but listening to Scott explain the principles of flying a helicopter to you made it seem super easy, I was amazed how tiny movements of the controls can make a huge impact especially compared to watching you fly your airplane when it seems like there , larger movements on the yoke and the plane is barely reacting at all. Thanks for sharing. Scott seems like a super cool guy .

Very exciting and the pilot let me fly it part of the way back on our return journey to land. Very exciting but I was amazed just how sensitive the flight stick was, it was like fingertip control. Great memories. 🙂

    I'm surprised that the first thing I "didn't" hear was that pitch control, in a helicopter, is exactly the opposite of "stick" (yoke) inputs, in an airplane:
    in other words, the pilot pushes the cyclic forward, in order to "pitch up" (and vice versa).
    You're flying abilities are awesome, Kay, as usual!

      Pitch for speed. Power for altitude. This is similar, actually, but the fuselage hangs from the rotor hub, which is essentially the entire [rotary] wing structure, as opposed to the pitch of the fuselage being directly associated with the pitch of the wings. Hence, you not only pitch forward, but increase the collective through transitional flight.
      If I want to hold altitude in a fixed-wing aircraft, I'll adjust power accordingly while maintaining an appropriate airspeed by adjusting the pitch.

    Lol, I flew with an old guy in an r22, and his solid gold rule was. If you must vomit, NOT ON THE CONTROLS!

    My one & only time flying a helicopter was in an R22, so much fun. Wish I’d had the time & money to carry on, but not to be. I wasn’t so good on hovering, wobbled somewhat, just like you, by over correcting but that’s quite natural 1st time. Loving your videos, you’re so chatty, informative and educating us - thank you 🚁 ❤️

    I spent 2 weeks learning how to fall down while learning to ride a unicycle! I never really got that good. Totally understand!!

    I hope you have as much fun as I did with my first lesson, I was In a R22 but the R44 is a better helicopter to fly in.
