Rotorway Helicopter Demo

[yellowrotorway]

Iv'e built and flown three of these. In many ways they can be "safer" because you know every nut and bolt of the helicopter. It just depends how thorough you are.

[pilotman322]

how far can this go with 1 tank of feul how many miles?

[TamakoAkai]

NIce video. I am thinking about investing into a light helo but my wife says" you're not flying anything ypu have to build" lolololo to funny. I like to get one so I can fly out to south Padre Island on weekends.

Thanks for the video . Enjoy and be Safe.

Hi! Make the entire video and check my Rotorway Video: Rotorway EXEC 162 at Fazenda Santa Ines. Tks!

[clydestill]

Excellent video, audio could be better, got more, been interested in the Exec for years.. Thanks

[ririshow]

It is weird to fly a heli with sandals on!!!!

[jockomengo]

It`s a helicopter, not a motorcycle!!

[stealhty1]

i can do that with my bleender with out turning the ALTIMETER OFF

[FlingwingGolfer]

i like the overhead switches!

[OMrkithO]

ME TOO! :D

[Mockeraina]

Sorry I pushed the "6" button when saying 1.26, I meant 1.25 degree tilt.

[shapipple12]

haha ye i dunno man but ye your right the keel effect does take over im just thinking of ideas it could be also so you can change radio frequency's with your collective hand instead of your cyclic hand or if on the left side you would have to reach across your body makes it easier haha i dunno throw me a bone here.

[Mockeraina]

Hahah no no im not trying to show u up, im just trying to figure this out. And what you said is right cause I just got an email back from a CFI @ a flight school im going to and he said exactly what you said reguarding the left hand movements and what not for changing things during flight, other wise if you where on seated on the left you'd either have to reach across yourself, or switch hands on the cyclic, which is a BAD habit.

[Mockeraina]

Sorry wrong numbers on the Tranny degrees. It's 1.25 degrees.

[Shogo39]

Where is your "paper" checklist? Someday you will forget something and it will cost you your life.

[Afrocanook]

That cyclic sounds like it can use some 3-in-one oil.

[Mockeraina]

Why don't people sit on the right like helicopter pilots are suppose sit?

[Shogo39]

Because in most piston helicopters the PIC sits on the left side. In most turbine helicopters the PIC sits on the right side.

[Mockeraina]

Huh, well i knew about the pilot on the right for turbine but didn't about the piston seating arrangement. Why do they sit on the left?

[Shogo39]

That's a good question that i dont have the answer to. I guess the helicopter gods made it that way. But you would think it would all be standard like airplane PIC seats are.

[Mockeraina]

Well, I know there is a reason for Trubine Pilots to sit on the right, my dad flys a 206, 206L-4 and a 407 and he's told me the reason before but i can't remember it. I'll ask him tomorrow.

[shapipple12]

longline pilots usually sit on the left for the fact that the collective is on the left hand side

[Mockeraina]

Yeah i already knew longline pilots sit on the left, but this guy isn't longlining. And seriously, just by the way its built i don't think it could longline, well i guess it could depending on what it was lifting.

[shapipple12]

and pilots sit on the right because the left skid hangs low do to Translating Tendencyand by sitting on the right it balances it out abit.

[Mockeraina]

That's not necessarily true, where did u hear that? Nobody really knows, and the skids are level so.

[shapipple12]

i didnt hear this i know this because im a helicopter pilot. because of translating tendency you counter it by using left cyclic which in turn makes it left skid low by sitting in the right seat you balance it out more.

[Mockeraina]

Huh, well first off it depends what you're flying. Cause in the B206, the Main Rotor transmission is build with a 1.26 Degree tilt to the left to neutralize the effect of translating tendency. And, translating tendency is only in effect on other helicopters when in a hover, once you start moving and get over 24kts, it doesn't exist.

[emforty2]

wonderful

now lets us see some aerial videos

[BurkeLCH]

Looks like fun. What are the down sides? any blind spots? or cramped leg room? storage?

[ornshaw]

I said "altimeter on" when I meant "avionics."

I'm no actor!

[amj54321]

Very interesting video! But do you have two switches for your avionics (one as a backup)? I ask because you actually do say "avionics on" before "altimeter on".
