R44 Engine start up and take off

[flanksteak2]

Is the pilot able to control when the rotor engages the engine?

[joseppi2219]

I love the gobs more power the 44 has over the R22.. He picked up into an easy hover/lift off at just over 16 inches of power!! Nice!! I remember pulling every bit of 24 inches just to sustain a hover with me, my instructor and just 16 gallons of fuel..

0:15 A flying pig!!

[SuperNoag]

That is NOT how you do a mag check. Its only a small point until you drop a mag then you find out that ohh what happened there...................BANG!!­!!!!!!!!!

[pyramidhead138]

1 person shouldnt be watching this

[rotarywinboy]

@pyramidhead138 Why ?

[pyramidhead138]

@rotarywinboy im referring to the person who clicked dislike. :)

[kazaa309]

@rotarywinboy Because they disliked it.

[DarkstarNovembr]

@rotarywinboy he's probably meaning how someone disliked the video.

[pyramidhead138]

@rotarywinboy why? they hit "dislike"

[getous]

@rotarywinboy He ment because 1 person "disliked" the video.

[a8207122009]

@rotarywinboy cuz that person are not like this video..

[VerbleiteMische]

The engine sounds like a little truck. Already cool.

[camp69]

The mag check is SOP, your climb out takes balls, well below auto slope. Nice though.

[fueledbymusic3]

Starts like a car!

[BrianSupreme]

@fueledbymusic3 starts like nearly every other internal combustion engine...

[macieyek1]

super but short too short ! :( !!!

[skullcrusher301]

Did you buy it new or used and for how much? And what language are you speaking?

[rotarywinboy]

@skullcrusher301 They bought it used. I'm French.

[otto63363]

motherfuckers. I never allow it to be helicopters.

[CMTEJHONY1]

bom video!!!!!

[yahoorif]

This is R44 astro right?

[AustraliaNavy]

How much are R44's?

[yahoorif]

@AustraliaNavy around 430 000 USD. Its less than that I think

[TamakoAkai]

Be careful, keep an eye out for dead mans curve.

Helo's are so much fun. What airfield was that? Wacth your trim, be safe and have fun.....

[hacker1462]

i think i saw a ufo

[jasong19711]

I have flown in these twice and I cannot wait for my next ride! They are so much fun!

[tcsodoto6187]

guess i have came across some deals then bc some of the 206 l1's ive came across were 200,000 n up

[390851]

dude u need to get a vid. from start up, all the way during flight, and land......thatd be great

[tcsodoto6187]

yout can buy a brand new robinson r44 raven II for about 200,000 dollars. bout the same price as a used 73 model bell 206 jetranger

[spiderysheets]

A new Raven II for $200,000? Try $404,000.

[hogey74]

Hey I think they are a fair bit more than that - maybe 500K. And I think that is similar to an old 206. Hey cool vid!

[Ottonturk]

кроссавчеги.

[leonelrevilla4g92a]

how much is this copter?

[ManiacMovieDestroyer]

last time I checked, a quarter of a million dollars. their not cheap you know, BUT i could be wrong

[justinRkeaton]

why did you keep turning the key back and fourth , did it die?

[heven729]

He was checking the engine magnetos, its part of the engine checks that goes on before the take-off. The magnetos produce pulses of high voltage that are used on the spark plugs of the engine. They run completely independent from the electrical system so that if you have an electrical failure, the engine keeps running...

[justinRkeaton]

Ok cool, i was just wondering, because if it was a restart that wouold be crazy LOL didnt know they did that, thanks

[pyramidhead138]

so hows the cyclic stick work on those kind of helicopters?

[rotorznwingz]

Same as any other helicopter except the cyclic comes up between the seats and tees at the top so either the pilot or instructor can fly. The top of the tee teeters, but the teeter doesn't do anything to the helicopter. In this video, the cyclic was removed from the left. seat.

[Pellegriniatibaia]

Where did you find this GPS Mount? I`m searching for something like yours for my GPS 695!

Thanks

[rotarywinboy]

The GPS mount was already there when my friends bought the r44..

[TamakoAkai]

Our instructors made part of our pre-flight check and always called out what we said. If you go at it without it you are bound to forget something that can endanger your flight.

Always use caution. You fly safe, you'll enjoy the flight.......Safe flying to all.

[pyramidhead138]

i wonder if some helicopters come with GPS's?

[johnt20]

depends which kind of heli's, r44 i doubt it but u can always bring one along.

[colin5016]

Dont you guys use a checklist? in the UK we should use one at all times by law.

[nyshooter94]

is it hard to get your licencs because im hoping to get mine when i get older

[pyramidhead138]

i read somewhere that as long as your in good physical condition and have good vision, no problem.

[Movietrailers321]

why would you need good phsical condition

[pyramidhead138]

i guess as long as you have good vision, i dont know....

[Movietrailers321]

ok thanks

[pyramidhead138]

actually youll have to be in good physical condition cause when your flying both arms and legs are involved. think about it

[nyshooter94]

yea that is true

[pyramidhead138]

i guess it sure beats driving a car, now i dont recommend you give up your car but think of all that traffic your avoiding...FREEDOM

[pyramidhead138]

i like how the engine sounds

[rafaelpinky21]

why is he cheking the magnetos twisting the key all over direction many times? it supposed to be 2 movements to the left to check the left magneto, then 2 to the right to normal position, then 1 to the left for the right magneto then put it back on the on position, is the way this guy does the normal procedures in the R44? i am going for the 5 hours transition next sunday, please let me know about this, thank you.

[rotarywinboy]

hi rafaelpinky21. Here is what he does : (BOTH)..M2..BOTH..M1..BOTH.. and M2..M1..BOTH. It's a correct procedure for testing magnetos. He checks M2, then back to both, then checks M1, then back to both, and again checks M2 vs M1 to compare engine rpm loss. Concerning your sunday transition, just do as you were taught to do. Break a leg ! ;)

[topbanana188]

What's he doing with the keys at around 1:06?

[rotarywinboy]

checking magnetos

[RotardHK]

On the Astro you start with the key?

[rotarywinboy]

Yes. BTW, some raven 2 also start with the key, some others start with a button on the cyclic.

[Focha]

Nice video mate. Thank you for showing the start up of the 44! Regards and fly safe.

[rotarywinboy]

You're welcome !

TC

[rotarywinboy]

I'm sure you will. :)

[ooli1]

I liked it very much.... Only on 22's at the moment.. but will get to 44 one day :)
