Robinson R22 Quick Stops and Low Level Turns

more vids: http://helicopter-videos.com - My favourite part of flying, getting down low. This excercise was precision transitions (hover to hover) and quick stops into wind.

thanks for the comment. There was sound but I had trouble with my BoseX headset and it all came out garbled, which was a shame as my instructors comments were excellent training.

what do u do in it muster

[cdcomcard]

Flare!

it's a shaky airframe

[cdcomcard]

@xav233 , it may look it but it's just the camera bracket movement. It's mounted on the headset hook which on the R22 is quite flimsy.

You don't fly helicopter's if your afraid to crash my friend.

[spidey692003]

Anyone who flys the 22 can fly anything pretty much! I learnt on the R22 then jumped to the R44 and love them both, but yes you gotta get the autos right in the R22, but if u worry about crashing all time then dont be a pilot, drive a bus instead.

The video is great. I haven't seen one yet that is able to also capture the collective. I'd love to see the pedals, the cyclic, AND the collective at the same time. Thanks for sharing!

So you would want to crash then. If you are not apprehensive of the risk, you would indeed have a very high chance of crashing! That cyclic is so sensitive trust me, I've basically flown the bigger version of this in a lesson.

Why is everybody complaining? Sound works fine

[misterperfekt1001]

nice video ,why isn"t there any sound?

@xxGH05TX Well im sorry to tell you but you have to have some fear otherwise you are just a recless pilot.....

[bakkerrich1979]

if you look at statistics....you might notice that helicopters are safer than planes...safer than cars....safer than walking in fact. what you should really fear is iatrogenic death (when doctors make mistakes). Iatrogenesis causes +- 225,000 deaths per year in the United States. About 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States.

@cdcomcard i think its more like an change in torque
