Nice Video - I love Helicopter videos that DON'T have music! The music ruins the sound of the chopper that we all come to love. I wish people would post their videos twice, once without music, and once with. I've been toying with the idea of a helmet mounted camera for both pilots, that would rule.
yes very stable. ima do my 5hrs in the schweizer so i can act as pic. you should become a r22 man. or at least put some hours up in it. itll put your hovering skills to the test. not saying its terribly hard but you gotta be on ya toes;)
I've flown in the Schweizer before. They're pretty cool. I opted to learn in a Robinson R22. It has a "T Bar" style cyclic & was easier for me to control.
Yeah it's so much fun, I've been doin circuits lately and my instructor says i'll do so many that i'll be sick of them... Can't see that happening though, How can you get sick of this?
no. i dont think so. i am starting my Commercial/intrument, hope to get my instrument first cuz commercial is just hour building and cuttin your minimums in half(hit the spot for an auto in 20ft instead of 50) then finish out the CFI training. it only gets better and better.- you goin for your CFII?
Cheers mate! Yeah i've been flying left side... My instructor is getting me used to startups so he gave me the control seat. I've now made a stronger bracket and have some more footage to edit and post so i'll add it soon.

Can't remember how many hours, but she's landing autorotations at the moment. One day I will pluck up the courage to watch her doing them :-)

great vid! even better when you get your new bracket sorted out. Do you fly left side as a student in the 300?
