i didnt know robinson made a turbine engine. i only thought there was the r22 and r44

[Pilot3DHelicopter]

Very cool approach

[chestateegold]

i love fixed wing flying, but helicopters are just exhilarating, even in video

[DMCcornish]

what is so much better about the 66 than the 44?

[Badmax93]

it looks so easy when he lands again :D and when he was flying the rollways :D

[fsaddon]

[rocktruggy03]

I love how this guy handles the aircraft. Very smooth.

[rocktruggy03]

NICE! I'll be purchasing a GoPro for my helo training as well!

[griffo77]

We purchased the Motorsport Gopro kits from a local dealer in Australia. Cost was only $340 per camera + $40 for headstrap :)

[seaboo143]

@griffo77 what do i need to start flying a chopper like this? should i take a degree in aviation? or is there a chopper training program? how long does the study take?

[staslig]

@seaboo143

it takes 9-18 months, but you will most likely never fly like this.

[FlingwingGolfer]

@seaboo143 come do your training in the US, it's cheap by comparison, and schools will help you get a student visa. depending on your skills, to go from private, commercial, instrument, and instructor will cost you about $60 000.

or, you could try the military in your country for training.

it's never too late to start: average age of people starting flight training is in the low 30's...

[iflyrobinson]

Where did you get the head cam? I love the video man ive always wanted to video my flights like this.

[iflyrobinson]

How mcuh is the head cam? I have always wanted to video my flights like that i was thinkin about gettin a software called flyvie and doing it from my iphone but i like the head cam better and nice video!! I love the new R66 turbines

[amj54321]

so am i to understand you don't have to hold the R66's starter down until N1 reaches its self sustaining point? just one press and release?

[FlingwingGolfer]

@amj54321 that's what it looks like. that's how you start a Bell 407, too, and a lot of other bigger helicopters too, for that matter. In the 407, you start the starting sequence by pushing the button once, then just modulate the fuel with the grip in the collective.

real easy.

[browing1974]

R66 for Robinson is a big step.

OK, they always have big steps.

[colin5016]

Do you still split the needles and do a low rrpm warning check or is it not required with the turbine?

[MetaView7]

too bad the camera is shaking his head like crazy

[dmimcg]

Nice footage of the Palos Verdes CA coast after taking off from the Torrance Airport. FYI, the Long Beach, LGB airport is about 10 miles away to the south.

[motokid032]

That has to be SoCal..LGB?

[scdisp200]

@motokid032 I wouldn't doubt it, they took off from the factory in Torrance, Ca

[hk15]

really nice flight and pilot.

[maxrugbyfoeva]

very nice video i think iam going to try and start flying heilicopters!!

[colin5016]

What setting did you have the goprp on? thanks Colin UK PPL

[SlittyDrake]

Is there a key to turn? or is it a button?

[happyhouse152]

@SlittyDrake Its a turbine so a starter button

[FlingwingGolfer]

@happyhouse152 but knowing robinson, there'll no doubt be a key for security reasons to turn on the power probably

[SlittyDrake]

Incredible!! I've allways liked the sound of Turbines, But i never thought that R44 Will go Turbine!!

[charlesw211]

@SlittyDrake this is an R66

[warrior30114]

I'd love to fly one of those. I've only flown their R22's so far but this one looks way nicer. Great sound too! :)

[griffo77]

No, they spin anticlockwise. Watch the shadows at start up.

[rosscosa]

the R66 blades spin clockwise??!!??

[Ingi25]

I love the pilots approach to the hanger! Some fancy flying there:)

[Rodrigo2838]

awesome video, the R66 is really a true beauty!!
