Nick, on a 1-10 scale of masculinity, looking at the two of you side by side, that guys at roughly an 11, while you’re unfortunately teetering at a - 3....
Nick, l'm sorry that these men have such tiny penis's that they find the need to pick on you like 12 year old boys on a school yard playground. 🙄 As a woman l find you quite masculine.😉
Outstanding intro to rotorcraft. This instructor has a talent for calm and effective communication. Excellent video production values. Kudos to you Nick!
Hi Nick. I'm a kiwi living in Western Australia. Born Taumarunui, North Island. My initial interest came out of reading about Robinson accidents in Australia and NZ. Great video for me, a would be but never to be pilot. Interesting content. I liked the conversational format. I realise you are asking questions that you already know the answers to, on the viewer's behalf. You're a good educator. Well done. Thank you for making it.
For Christmas my beautiful wife has organised a training session in the R22. I've always wanted to fly a helicopter, so I'm learning as much as possible about the aircraft and how to fly it. Flown RC aircraft for years so not totally green behind the ears. To say I'm excited about actually flying the R22 is a huge understatement. I'm not going along for the ride, it's an actual training flight. Would love to be a qualified helicopter pilot, but I don't think I could afford the costs involved, but....... I'm not ruling out the possibility at this time. My wife is just amazing for doing this for me.
Perfection. I totally enveloped into the drive of the lesson. This was probably the best tutorial I've seen in years, excellent descriptive movements, eclipsing even my own tutor. This is the difference between $4,500 training, and $9000. Well done, very well done.
Nick I think this was your best aviation video yet. Not only was the instructor super in depth, which was very interesting, but your camera work was superb. You must have had 7 cameras going on that thing and all the angles really captured the experience. Well done, can't wait to see more!
i'll echo that, really an excellent production on this one, it was a joy to watch! Perfect filming and audio, and also love that its a long and in depth video, keep up the great work.
I remember watching this video some years ago,and all that interested me was the expert professional flying,and the way Nick was tutored into recalling the skill he learned years before. I would fly with that instructor any time,but I live in the UK. I hope the Company does well.
When your playing music your whole brain is engaged, flying a helicopter is no different i have had a lot fun with microsoft flight over the years, you two are just a pleasure to watch controlling that aircraft and explaining what is really going on, very well done and it made me smile the whole time you where going through the phases of helicopter theory which is very important, you make a hard job look so darn easy.
I clicked on this and was so surprised to see N27NE. I soloed and passed my check ride in this little rocket ship. back in 2014. I'll never forget the increase in performance when the instructor (Ian Michaels) stepped out and told me to do a few laps. The R22 doesn't like to go slow or land when it's light! Nice job on the video, brought back a lot of memories. I can confirm the story about the student who shut down the motor, that happened when I was training. The instructor managed to restart but I think the seats had to be cleaned after they landed.
Nick I know nothing about helicopters and honestly not sure I will ever get interested in flying one... but I was hooked and watched the whole with full attention! I leant so much. Thank you! This was more of a documentary than a vlog! Very good!!👍
So many memories, did my brief training in a Bell47 and the word back then was that Robbos autoed like a brick. Now I see how bad they are in the hover . Great work keep it up.
Having flown a few S300's I'm glad I learned how to fly in the R22. I've been flying the 22 recreationally for fifteen years,...love it! Its definitely the best piston helicopter ever built! 😗
A well chosen CFI for the video. Excellent work both of you. Slip up at 07:45, you meant cyclic not collective. Also, the reason the rotor began to turn slightly even with the pulleys not apart is usually due to the recent overhaul where everything is a bit tighter. The other circumstance when this happens is when the last shut down was a bit hasty and the pilot didn’t wait to hear the revs go up after the electric motor on the pulleys stops, however, in this case the light should be on once you engage the battery.
I thoroughly enjoyed that. Makes me want to learn to fly helicopters! Up here in the Arctic the regional airline has an R44 and an R22. My brothers an A&P so I get to visit the shop and get to be up close and personal with a lot of aircraft. Love the R22.
I used to fly an R22 about four years ago, but on a dangerous landing on an uneven surface, I destroyed it. But it was lovely to see this video very good
I learned to fly in Bell Jetranger and Longranger machines due to the generosity of Bell Helicopter allowing me to fly with one of their marketing managers who was also a CFI. While eternally grateful for their benevolence I always felt I missed something by not having learned to fly a recip engine machine. Unfortunately I haven’t flown in several years and doubt the opportunity will ever present itself again. This video surely brought back training memories and makes me miss flying.
50:50 3,2,1, rollllllll(right pedal)...pull ! calling the roll softer and longer in your mind and follow by a gentle pull makes a huge difference for me.
great video, you should see what some of the pilots do with these over here in Australia, I worked on a station up northern australia, and these R22's are used to do some mad things, like mustering, bull throwing, shooting, etc. very impressive to watch if you have the time, they also use the R44's but they're a bit big for some of the things.
I was moments from telling you off when 'anything else you'd like to see' was offered and you declined. As the word 'AUTO!' was leaving my mouth the CFI put it back on the cards anyway, and what a wonderfully executed auto it was! Ill never forget my first in a 22. Bravo, Nick another wonderful chopper video. As always i shall patiently await the next.
Recognized that helicopter as soon as I saw the tail number. I spent the better part of five years at Northeast Helicopters flying the Schweitzer 300 CBi (24NE and 42NE) and, according to my logbook, just about every one of their R-22s except for 27NE, lol! While I was there they had about 4 R-22s and the 300 and an MD500D. Got my private, commercial, and instrument rating there. Northeast Helicopters is a fantastic school, and they turn out exceptional and professional pilots! This video brings back so many memories! These were the best years of my life!
You are probably overwhelmed by flight school applicants from viewing this vid. A great vid to prep for training, flight, or those considering rotary wing flight training. Thanks!
Great review, I learnt to fly in one of these. A lot of Robinson haters in the Heli community, I have no idea why though as that's the route most of us have to take due to cost of training. I think it's a great machine, fly it within it's limits and there'll be no problems. Good vid Nick. Keep them coming.
I learned to fly in the 300 or the Army version called the TH-55 (Osage). The newer R-22 and R-44 are more economical but provide the same performance. Very expensive toys. Some commercial pilots use them for hire.
I was annoyed at the incessant gum chewing at first, but it turned out to be a great video after all! Had a helicopter flight in an R22 gifted to me a couple of years ago. Good memories.
I did my helicopter training in a Bell 47 G-3B. When I transitioned to the Robinson R-22 I found it very twitchy. It does not have a lot energy in the rotor system for autorotations. Fun to fly though.
I was a medic in Nam, but I worked in the Oper Rm....but choppers were the way to travel back then. I've always loved the sound and when I could get to fly in them. I read Chicken Hawk about pilots in Nam....and I just got the book, 19 Minutes To Live....about Cobra Pilots of Nam.....that was their average life span back in 1967 VietNam......Helicopter Pilots were the Angels of Mercy in my war.....I have the utmost admiration for the Pilots and Crew of the Huey's and Cobra's.......Sp/4 Underwood..........Far Out Dudes.
Nick as an engineer, pilot and instructor I found it very annoying how you had to touch and move/manipulate everything as you pointed it out. Just pointing to something is fine, don’t feel the need to tittoo (as a kiwi you’ll know what I mean) with things at inappropriate times esp as a passenger. Great work hovering after a 10 year hiatus, you made it look easy. I really like the way you added notes to your video to help explain things. A really informative video.
A relaxing instructor makes a big difference my first instructor would get a little worked up when we went up being an A&Pmech I had more experience than the average student. IFR approaches and flying got sticktime in my UH1-D in Korea. Oh the days.
these videos are usually a little awkward, but that guy fucking nailed it. I didnt think much of any of these little piston helis before, but that little tour made me really appreciate the raw engineering in these things. The references to all the 911 stuff was awesome. I only watched half the video though, the awkwardness I know was coming watching these 2 pile into that thing.
That was great. Perfect timing for me too as I come back from my 25 year diversion from my private license training and I reacquaint myself with the R22. As for future aircraft to visit; have you taken a look at any of the UH-60s that have been converted to civilian use? That's my dream machine. I fell in love with the Blackhawk as an Army Ranger and have dreamt of flying one ever since.
I loved this video. This was the first of your videos I've seen. Great content, quality production, subbed. I'm looking at chopper schools and this is one of the aircrafts that I'd be training on. I'm super excited!
Nice video. I think you should put the popups in a fixed location on the screen and have the white lines move rather than have the popups bounce around as your camera moves. Understand this video is over a year old now and you've probably fixed this. Thanks for the upload.
I learned in Schweitzers, and I never flew an R-22. I always wondered what they were like. I have hours in R-44s, but that machine was pretty easy to fly. I always figured the R-22 was a handful
As a commercial fixed wing pilot I had the opportunity to try to get a helicopter license 30 years ago but I didn’t. This is when I thought $140 an hour for an instructor and helicopter was expensive. Today that same training is almost $300 an hour at most places will not let you solo once you get your license due to insurance reasons. So what is the incentive of learning to fly a helicopter? If you really want to do this then the best alternative would be to go into the Army to fly helicopters and be paid while doing it!
When I first saw this video I make fun of the trainer's mustache. As A Firefighter going through the fire academy dealing with many trainers, I can say that this is a trainer that I would love to have in fire or Flight School. This guy seems down-to-earth and he knows his stuff!! Excellent video, excellent trainer! He reminds me a little bit of Ronnie the Limo Driver, if you don't know who he is that's okay. This trainer seems like the bomb and I would love to take flight classes from him
I could really learn to fly with you. I see these Robinson's go over my residence all the time. I can fly fixed-wing C-172 (don't have flight school or license), and while I would not be confident on this rotor from the video, at least it tells me the difference and how to learn to maneuver. There is so much more to rotor. Goof session.
Very Interesting Video Nick! I remember many moons ago, my buddy got his heli licence at just 24, he took me for a spin in a R22, he was around 110kg and me at 95kg, we had issues getting in the air haha
As a fixed wing pilot, i was surprised with all the pull levers on this thing. That engine kill at the end shows how quickly the rotors die and that hard right pedal and cyclic has to be down dead on or that sucker is going to twist and roll on you and thus the door opened in case? haha. I think my flight in a glider showed me you have to be gentle on the controls compared to power flight and a small helicopter probably has similar touch with fingertips and subtle movements is what you need...
Dear Nick! I am new to studying helicopters and taking flights when I can! Just wanted to shout out to you and say you kickA$$ your videos are really helpful and get a great view of both piston helicopters to turbines. Keep up the good work looking forward to more helicopter videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great instructional video. I was able to understand most of what was being described and the closest I ever came to flying a helicopter, was foolishly turning down the offer the Army made, to send me to their flight school. Could you tell us what what cameras and gimbals you were using?
Great video. I did not know Robinson had improved their rotor to increase its centrifugal force to stop the blades from snapping under certain conditions.
Nick, on a 1-10 scale of masculinity, looking at the two of you side by side, that guys at roughly an 11, while you’re unfortunately teetering at a - 3....
Yeah but I get the impression this guy recently had a mullet ? ........lol
Nick, l'm sorry that these men have such tiny penis's that they find the need to pick on you like 12 year old boys on a school yard playground. 🙄 As a woman l find you quite masculine.😉
I am fine with that, a -3 is quite generous!
I just get a kick outta the fact that that big burly firefighter type guy wedges himself into those little helicopters all day.
Where did idiots hang out before RUclips?
Outstanding intro to rotorcraft. This instructor has a talent for calm and effective communication. Excellent video production values. Kudos to you Nick!
Magnum PI was very composed and did a wonderful job communicating his thoughts. A very good instructor.
CutTheKnot “yep”
Probably one of the best rotorbird videos online. Very well edited, great audio and crystal clear camera work. Well done.
The instructor was one of the best I've seen. Very calm effective communicator an I've had a few instructors

A&P mechanic here. Loved the video. Makes me excited to start taking helicopter lessons ! Can’t wait ! Very informative and very smart pilot.
For someone who is doing all he can to make commercial helo pilot training a reality, this is pure gold, cant get enough.
Literally one of the most iconic little helicopters around. Never flown a helicopter before but I can hear an R22 a mile away.
Jeff struck was my instructor he’s amazing! 4 years at northeast helicopter on weekends mostly was the best time of my life !

You are probably overwhelmed by flight school applicants from viewing this vid. A great vid to prep for training, flight, or those considering rotary wing flight training.
Thanks!
Enjoyed that, haven't flown choppers (B205,B212,B412) since 89, going for a fly in a R22 next weekend!
A thoroughly enjoyable video. The pilot instructor was a calm, cool and down to earth person. Well done.
One of the best instructors out there.
This instructor should be in the movie tropic thunder as a pilot! Awesome vid and appreciate the effort
That Instructor was awesome!
Thanks for the video, Nick

Just this CFI's personality and attitude makes you want to learn from him and you can always trust a guy with a moustache like that haha
Using this "how to guide" as a primer before my first helicopter training with an R22 tomorrow! Wish me luck
absolut2013 I'm actually looking at ways to learn how to fly in VR
did you die? still alive?
@@gmarte12 Can confirm that no deaths occurred- loved it!
Great instructor. I have under 10 hours in a G2 and a lot of what he said during your review rang true for me. Great video!
One of the best "how it works" videos I have seen so far.
Good job guys. :-)
I learned to fly in the 300 or the Army version called the TH-55 (Osage). The newer R-22 and R-44 are more economical but provide the same performance. Very expensive toys. Some commercial pilots use them for hire.
i love how the links in your desc. arent all plugs, they are links to help nature and animals. thats awesome, you got a sub!
you could tell he was nervous about screwing up and very happy in the end he pulled off a nice video
I was annoyed at the incessant gum chewing at first, but it turned out to be a great video after all! Had a helicopter flight in an R22 gifted to me a couple of years ago. Good memories.
The gum chewing is just plain rude. Talking with anything in ones mouth is not good manners. So Annoying.
i haven't fly helicopter for 1 year.I'm going to do the training next week .this video helps me a lot.thanks
I did my helicopter training in a Bell 47 G-3B. When I transitioned to the Robinson R-22 I found it very twitchy. It does not have a lot energy in the rotor system for autorotations. Fun to fly though.
I learned four tips in the first 33 minutes my instructor never told me. Very good video. I also fly R22 and R44.

Brilliant video! Had my first flight in a helicopter a few days ago at the controls of a R44 - loved every minute of it. This brought it all back :)
Nick as an engineer, pilot and instructor I found it very annoying how you had to touch and move/manipulate everything as you pointed it out. Just pointing to something is fine, don’t feel the need to tittoo (as a kiwi you’ll know what I mean) with things at inappropriate times esp as a passenger. Great work hovering after a 10 year hiatus, you made it look easy. I really like the way you added notes to your video to help explain things. A really informative video.
But I do need to tittoo with everything Woody, you know that!
👍🏻👉🏻👈🏻👇🏻👆🏽✌️🤙👋
I met this guy about a year ago. He was wearing a flight suit then. Very confident.
This is the review I have been waiting for. Thanks Nick.
I did my first 10 hours in a R-22, then switched to Enstrom, the Enstrom was harder to fly but it was also more forgiving.
I used to be a CFI ( fixed wing) many years ago. He seems like a cool instructor.
A relaxing instructor makes a big difference my first instructor would get a little worked up when we went up being an A&Pmech I had more experience than the average student. IFR approaches and flying got sticktime in my UH1-D in Korea. Oh the days.
The Hughes/Schweitzer 269/300 does have a governor. It is only an overspeed governor, so "George" kicks in if you allow the RPM to get too high...
that runway is in such top shape !

i love this guy, he is the ultimate in cool and understanding.
No one:

Yep, it would have been struggling!
the trick is for the passenger to run alongside the helicopter until they reach transitional lift, then deftly hop in.
The Robinson r22 helicopter is very cheap and is easy to fly. This helicopter is used for training
Damn you, Nick! Now I want to sell my airplane and get an R22 ! Seriously, thanks for the video
this was absolutely fascinating. been watching your videos since the BMW M4 days mate. thanks for the great video!
Instructor was great on camera, excellent review Nick!
I love how pilots all have exactly the same speech pattern on the radio.
By design I think
ruclips.net/video/HVtLZFNEsKQ/видео.html
Haha
It's true
Yes, by design, we all have “standard phraseology”
You are trained in flight school ect to talk that way, for clear communication on a radio with lots of traffic......
Good Day
As a fixed wing pilot, i was surprised with all the pull levers on this thing. That engine kill at the end shows how quickly the rotors die and that hard right pedal and cyclic has to be down dead on or that sucker is going to twist and roll on you and thus the door opened in case? haha. I think my flight in a glider showed me you have to be gentle on the controls compared to power flight and a small helicopter probably has similar touch with fingertips and subtle movements is what you need...
I’ve been wanting to take lessons. Thank you for posting this.. I can’t want to get started.

Great instructional video. I was able to understand most of what was being described and the closest I ever came to flying a helicopter, was foolishly turning down the offer the Army made, to send me to their flight school. Could you tell us what what cameras and gimbals you were using?
Hey Nick, great job. Thanks for sharing. I will be getting my pilot's license in a Cabri G2 next year. Awesome!
He’s a very good teacher. 🍺
Great video. I did not know Robinson had improved their rotor to increase its centrifugal force to stop the blades from snapping under certain conditions.
I had expected the R22 to be discontinued long ago
This one is heading for my download folder, my son and potential future pilot should enjoy this!
Love that Cessna cruising around in the back round
Very familiar with that yaw string on the glider! Also.. It would be great to see a review of the Bristell Light Sport!
@ 26:13 - In a fixed wing aircraft (PA28, C152 etc) you use carb heat approx every 15 mins during flight so no idea why you said its rarely used
Excellent intro. As a fixed-wing guy, I learned a lot. Would love to take a few lessons in one of these.
Always spit out gum before interviews.
Pilots always chew gum. It's just the way it is.
I agree. It was gross.
@@briancooney9952 No. They don't.
@@VidarrKerr so people chewing gum grosses you out?
Brian Cooney no pilots chewing gum with a mic touching their lips is gross though
Awsome stuff Nick. Nice to see you back in aircraft.
Learned to fly in one of theese. Tons of good memories in that machine. Good work.
