Robinson R22 Helicopter 12 Maneuvers done smoothly

[fischermoto]

Proficient!

[whalebarn]

Really neat flying. It's not easy to make an R22 look that rock steady.

[wesomest]

wait... is that like someone's yard?

[jabr800]

R22 Beta II Cost $75,000 - $275,000 US Dollars to purchase

Rental Cost about $225 - $275 to rent a R22, per hour

[ddaavvaa774]

How much cost?

Thanks iHatePRND.

Kind words

[iHatePRND]

Great control, cool machine. Will be starting my training on one of these bad boys shortly. Hope to reach your skill level one day. Thumbs up.

[neal08ni]

I wonder how you fly that R22 so good by maneuvering? But I would say good job!

[jabr800]

@neal08ni Thanks



[TEXTUDO]

[headstockfagburn]

Quick stops r cool!

[headstockfagburn]

VERY SMOOTH Dude! like a good woman !!!!! Some guys gonna come back as eagles! good on yer!

[hondacrxrus]

This is my favorite r22 video. Cant wait till the next time I can fly one. Something about the purring of the blades got into my blood.

[jabr800]

@hondacrxrus

Thanks for the kind words.

Good luck on your flying!

[superphap2000]

Touche. No videos up at the moment. Finishing my cfi this month. Havnt really logged any time since 09 '. You fly commercial at all?

[jabr800]

@superphap2000

Yep on the Commercial. 22,000+ hours. Current assignment is A-300 Airbus

R22 is strictly for pleasure and I love it. About 1,400 hours in just the 22!

[superphap2000]

skilled, but not necessarily smooth, kind of aggressive at times. I didn't see the recovery for the "simulated tail rotor failure," other than using more tail rotor. the max takeoff seemed to be HIGE for a mere second and a half, the rest forward flight. i would dare you to try some of these maneuvers on a high D.A. day.

[jabr800]

@superphap2000

[jabr800]

@superphap2000

Not smart to slide on grass sometimes, due to a possible forward rollover, hence, we only did the failure, not the recovery!

Flew this copter for 500 hours in Denver at 5,863msl field elevation, and DA's of 9,500+.

You'd probably be surprised what it will do when flown smoothly up there!

Max. Takeoff is about like you descibed, the "Screw up", going against the horsepower, shows some of the vertcal capability of this machine with two people in it!

Any videos of you flying a R-22?

[quiksilva13ts]

That was very skilled flying! I usually fly Cessna 182's and 172's airplanes but I've had the chance in R22's and Bell 407's and the r22 is a lightweight fun aircraft. It's amazing how sensitive it is to me, but you have it mastered!

[browing1974]

Awesome video and awesome flight.

[jabr800]

Lucky enough to own it for 11 years!

It's been a fantastic Aircraft!!!

[bellfilippi]

@jabr800 Hi,

Very impressive video, i have a question though.

You seem to be flying in a housing estate or something and you've landed on your front lawn? Is that legal in the U.S. ? (sorry I'm assuming you're in the U.S.)

Its very cool either way!

Thanks

[jabr800]

@bellfilippi

It's called a Fly-In Community. It's in Central Florida in the USA.

Rules allow us to land anywhere we have the property owners permission, as long as a zoning ordinance from a nearby government agency, doesn't say we can't.

Very cool.

I landed at a friends house in the forest 2 days ago, and a may be headed to a Lakefront restrauant later today!

[superphap2000]

@jabr800 no disrespect on the previous comment, just seemed a lot of people are all applause, and sometimes negative criticism can make us better. I wish i had the privilege of flying my very own 22.....damn, cheers.

[pedrosoandrew]

do you own that or for rent? cause having a R22 is awesome!

[klk1900]

this is one bad ass i learned in a r22 but we all say if u can fly the r22 u can fly anything now im an EMS Pilot n fly a AS-350 B3 if any of you can evr get ur hands on one of them jst take it to town the only difference is, ours has a bigger transmission so we can max it out further than the civilian model

[payments94C]

Great job by the pilot!

[marcos65221]

NÃO TENHO A MINIMA IDÉIA COMO SE PILOTA MAS PARECE MUITO LEGAL

[kingcora14]

dude ur video rocked and ur flying was a plessure to watch. i fly rc helis would love to fly the real thing.

[kopterkowboy]

so smooth

[subzzzzzzzero]

very good video. you show a good amount of of different flying manouvers. very nice to watch. thanks for taking the time to do this. cheers.

[zx1400a7f]

Great Demonstration! It's nice to see the R22 showcased in such a positive light. I will begin instruction next year in Nashville (JWN) for Rotorcraft and look forward to piloting the R22. I hope to find an instructor as gifted as you!

[jabr800]

Hello CommonRaven,

Thanks for the kind words. I hope to be starting a second video within the next few weeks. The video camera is actually sitting by the door as we speak! Possibly going to be more aggressive flying in this one with more complex maneuvers?

[oortseam]

Brilliant video, great pleasure to watch :)

[jabr800]

@oortseam Thank you. Still going to make another one of these days that ought to be way better than the first!

[jabr800]

@oortseam My son streetdrag03 has a few short videos in his files!

[schmitti9]

max performance^^?? R22! no no no no bad.....

[jabr800]

Hey nzchoper,

You are correct about the power going to the left.

We do them both ways.

The video of the left one was the better of the two!

[nzchoper]

hey mate on your screw up would'nt it make more sense to turn to the right,ie going with torque, hence having more power up your sleve

[tobyforlife1]

Great video. Just logged lesson #1 and .9hrs on 07/10/10. Looking foward to becoming as proficient and skilled as yourself.

[jabr800]

Good Luck to you Jeff B. !!

[JeffBomareto]

How many pilots are as proficient and smooth as this pilot? Without being a pilot myself it seems to be this guy must be in 90+ percentile as far as overall piloting ability is concerned.

[jabr800]

@JeffBomareto

Thanks Jeff.

Very Kind Words!!!

Currently at 1200 hours in the R-22. Wait until you see my 21 year old son fly when his video comes out. He's at 41 hours right now and can hold is own for sure!

[JeffBomareto]

@jabr800 Good to hear...hope your son continues his positive growth. I took my first R22 lesson on 4 July. What advice would you give me in just a couple sentences?

[jabr800]

@JeffBomareto

Find the best CFI you can! An experienced Robinson person, not just a helicopter person. You'll get a better insight into the quirks of the machine that way. When you get licensed, go to the Factory Safety Course. Best Aviation course I've ever taken in over 22,000 hours of Aviation! I've been 3 times and will attend again next year with my son! Good luck! You're gonna love it !!!

[JeffBomareto]

@jabr800 Will heed this counsel...thank you once again. I'm seeking to go Army flight school. I've got many obstacles to overcome, although, I certainly have the passion, focus, and I scored in 94th percentile on my AFQT. Looks as though crew chief may be best first step...possibly get my private during a 6 month period on the side (National Guard) prior to applying for flight school.

[pag6999]

@jabr800 Where is your son's video? Would like to see it.

[EbnyandMistyvideo]

nice flying!

[helobelow]

Nice skills! Particularly liked the quick stop with perfect control and no ballooning!

[marlles9]

is this like a boat where te nose will dive and eventually level out or are you always flying at an angle

[ELX222]

Love this video! Nice tight flying. Starting CPL(H) training in 20 days on the 22. Can't wait!

[jabr800]

Hope you enjoy your training as much as I did? Good Luck !

[ELX222]

@jabr800 Ha! I was just looking for videos on quickstops and found this again. Did indeed start my training 20 days ago, and am loving every second!

[ooli1]

Thanks for that

[r22accipiter]

Beautiful work, Jeff!!!  I repeatedly watch this just for pleasure.

[jabr800]

Thanks for the kind words!

It was fun doing this.

Maybe we'll try a version #2 soon?

[25det]

@jabr800 please do, this is a great video!

[michaelmiller85]

I've got a question. On the max performance takeoff, why would you be making left pedal turns? Wouldn't that take away more power?

[jabr800]

You are correct.

To people like yourself that know about that, it shows a little bit more of the versitility of the machine!

[tyrrellsq]

Nice!

[r6ruffrider]

You are one skilled pilot sir. I definetly appriciate your skills more after you let me fly it a bit. Very nice video, thanks for sending it to me.

[jabr800]

Fixed.

Thanks Richard.

[heli1pilot]

check your smelling.....I mean spelling!
