My first solo, Hughes 300

[austins9597]

how much does that heli cost?

[HelimanZ06]

@austins9597 Depends on the year, the hours left on the components, and whether or not it is a 300C or 300CB. Typically they cost from $100,000 to over $400,000.

dam thats good piloting

[adbarros31]

Congratulation guy! NIce land! I'd like to be in your place!!!

[FalloutRadius]

Jesus that's a weird looking helicopter! I bet it's still fun to fly though! Nice work!

[joehandsome99]

Great Solo.

Thumbs Up ~ Eric

@ kiqnfk.

You may want to critcise mrcaferacer's use of roman numerals, but he can fly a helicopter (and pretty well by what I've just seen) which is probably more than you can do.!!!! (Nice first solo mate! Your hovering is certainly better than my first attempts, although the Hughes is perhaps more stable than the R22, as I certainly found the Enstrom to be in comparison)

[SamEEE12]

Did you shit brix?

[anorton17]

nice one!! Im doing my PPL at PHS as we speak!!! i've only done 7 hours so far. I have a lesson at 10am tomoz. the weather looks alot nicer in your vid than it has been the last few weeks. by the way i loved the "knobcheese"call on that guy hahahaha

[photoglyph]

the music is pretty bad but it's a wicked cool video...

[FJones9508]

Probably looked a lot better than my first solo, good job. I remember my solo I took off and turned crosswind and was like "Yeah this is awesome I win", then I turned downwind and I was like " I hope I don't do anything stupid".

[Uros1977]

Hey, mrcefaracerm how many houres did it take with the instructor, for your first solo?

Nice flying, BTW.

[mysteryimpt]

Spookeyyyyyyyyyy:P lol nice man keep it up!!!

[aussifrog]

Nice flying! I fly fixed wing aircraft at Moorabbin, but I'll admit choppers look harder to fly than Cessnas :P

[ITSA556]

That''s a nice pick-up and set -down for a first solo. Good work!

[kiqnkf]

How funny is that.... smart enough to get his helicopter license, then at the end, "MCMVIII" that means 1908....... probaly should have been "MMIIX" maybe!!! hahahaha!!!

[mrcaferacer]

Shit, it is wrong, and so are you. Should actually be MMVIII. But at least I can spell 'probably' knobcheese...

[tvoice1]

well I guess you told him didn't you

[fabiopakk]

Congratulations! But what about the beer shower? That's what I got at least in my first solo (airplane). :-)

Nice video!

[bart2881]

Welcome to the club! I have flown a Bell jet ranger for years and it's great.

[tvoice1]

lucky, im 15 and hoping to get my license one day

[maestrosVIP]

congrat's!!!! One day i hope that i will fly too :)))

[atreewithnolife]

I flew a hughes 300 but I cant remember how lol !

[tatakiboy]

Congrats Gary on the realisation of a dream...!!!!!

[SheepJumpFish]

Can anyone who flies tell me: does the cyclic want to automatically center itself when you move it or does it not resist and just stay roughly where you leave it?or does it vary from helicopters sorry if you've read this on other videos but I haven't recieved any responses so posting to a few videos

[edmartinelli]

Depends on the heli. For the Hughes (MD) / Schweitzer helicopter, the cyclic stick has a motor driven trim that will allow the cyclic to stay approximately in the same place with little pressure. Other helis, like the Robinson and Bell, require a little more control/pressure on the cyclic or they will somewhat return to neutral.

[sk0rponok]

congrats, when i had my first solo all i had to show was a few grainy 1.2 megapixel pictures :)

[Joelby81]

Awesome!!!! I have a trial instructional flight coming up in a few weeks.... at moorabbin, in the same type of heli.... who knows could be the same one. Cant wait

[Joelby81]

There is always a know all!!

[Paulssx]

I did spots on mine

[Paulssx]

Slab!!!!

[chopperwheels]

Congrat's Gary glad to see you left the sound in the background

Working on it want to do mine next year 2

[skinnydrummer]

Is that VH-PHQ ? Had my intro training flight in yesterday at PHS YMMB - still coming down. Hooked.

Nice vid!

[Joyride37]

Don't be so ignorant! What do you know about flying a helicopter? CW2 (Retired) Jose Hernandez

[helicopterdude12345]

i love those 300s, thayre one of the safest heli's to crash in (not that it would be very nice anyway)

[hekikuu]

Really sweet.. Wish I could do the same! Over the last few years I've been telling myself to have one lesson to try. I never get to do it because of all other things. Pretty expensive hobby!

[lolzpstaker]

[CropDusterMan]

Good job gary!

[buzzburling]

Well done! welcome to the club!

Nice smooth flying!

[dutto75man]

i remember my first solo, same place, same company, same weather, same slab.

[helobelow]

Way to go Gary Great Job mate! Your second lift off was much smoother and you made nice smooth left pedal turns for your first solo. Congratulations and what an accomplishment to be in such a small number of pilots to be able to fly a rotorcraft!

[2HaRdYz2]

Nice. Congratulations.

[Jagcycle]

That's a slab!

Congrats Gary.

[jstrombom]

Nice!

[duncanbayne]

Good to see the rocking & rolling was in the music not the flying :-) Well done :-) Must be a fantastic feeling!
