Rotorway 180 autorotation viewed from Inside the cockpit

[yellowrotorway]

Orv was my instructor here in CT and he's the best!

[yellowrotorway]

The string is acually used as an instrument. ( very cheap to build) : ) - It shows whether the helicopter is flying straight or not, That is "in line relative" to the front and back of the helicopter

.  Good job Orv! You Rock!

[helocfi50]

It is for determining that the helicopter is flying in trip and not side slipping.

[R361K]

whats the string on the canopy for?

[cfi2927087]

@R361K It's a yaw string to show that your turns are coordinated.

[4crevis]

Wow... really sounds like it's over reving!

[AussieAviator]

@4crevis - And, YOU would know !!? Why would you even bother posting such a useless comment huh !?

[4crevis]

@AussieAviator It's just a comment... and no... i don't know... it's just an opinion... don't cry! A man of your standing acting like a dick! You should be ashamed!

[ComradChris74]

[oldfart387]

[03focussvt943]

Amazing job.

[upajos]

Even with a commercial rotorcraft rating, those 4.5:1 autorotation glide slopes still make my toes curl.

[hillberg100]

Choppergod you're not , It has an Experimental Certificate, and is registered. Pilots are the weak link. Try one. I like the Turbine powered Exec.

[novanerved]

SOME PEOPLE HAVE IT, SOME DONT....NICE

[CarolynandKeith]

my stomach is up in my throte watching this clip, i love it lol, great fiying man!

[chopperpilotgod]

Well, until it is an faa cert. helicopter built in the factory and standardized....I wont fly it. I can respect it and I see alot of them, but I trained in robbies and flight instruct in robbies. It always sounds like it redline rpm when it flies. Nice auto.

[malcauskas7]

Nice maneuver!

[razortire]

I have trained with orv in a r-22. This man is an absolute helicopter genious. I would encourage anyone wanting to fly rotorway to contact him. He has a great web site/ " fly with orv" . A lot of good stories and tips.

[1SFODdelta]

what a lawn-mower

[clomid100]

impressive!

[cashman156]

Nice !!

[helocfi50]

That is why we practice autorotations many times during and after flght training. If something happens, the pilot immediately lowers the collective to enter the autorotation and flies the helicopter under full control to a safe landing area, flares, and sets it down. An autorotation is just another form of normal flight procedures for a helicopter.

[deuteriate]

Good to know that a heli will not just drop like a rock with a system failure, as many fixed wing pilots claim. With skill like this pilot, it's just another flight. Scary, yes, but only if you hear the engine stop and you must do it.

[sergiobluesman]

dammm nice manuver!! awesome!

[AlceuBap]

Wow! Nicely done! Smooth flare!

It falls fast but look as controllable as the R22. Congrats!

[andybuzz2u]

I remember my instructor first explaining the autorotation. And seeing it first hand, inside the cockpit. Still scares the hell out of me, and it's the one move i hope to never have to use.
