  • Rule #1: do NOT wave hi to anyone while rotors are in motion. Ever.

  • What size engine is on those babies?

  • sit,stop, roll over, good boy here is your cookie

  • i would guess this cost, what 100K?

  • @dingdingdingdiiiiing I realy dont care wat u think about heli's, Im just trying to make a point that with a skilled pilot, a heli doesnt just fall oput of the sky like a rock if the engine fails. Heres proof: /watch?v=E2a9H8Xw8Mo and /watch?v=4JqmoWAhv5g I know this isnt always the case, but its still worth knowing. And if u still dont believe me then buy ur own rc heli and try it urself...or stfu

  • @dingdingdingdiiiiing LOL, I was about to agree with you and say that auto rotations dont work 100% (obviuosly) and that I never meant that heli's are totally safe. But then I watched the two videos and both of them dont proove anything, I mean come on, in the first vid the u cant even see the crash because its behind trees, and in the second one u cant see anything because its taken onboard and the impact doesnt even seem all that great...keep reading below

  • @TtimWh /watch?v=O7UwLWgtsE0 and /watch?v=I1ftIZaQ1ZM kind of respectfully disagree... the speed nor the altitude are great, but the damage is quite apparent, passengers aren't harmed obviously, but I'm pretty sure if they were traveling at 150mph at 300 feet, they wouldn't stand much of a chance now would they? I doubt rotor would have enough momentum to crash them down under 20G's.

  • @dingdingdingdiiiiing Actually helicopters are safer to land when the engine fails than a plane because they can land anywhere, whereas a plane needs to glide to a safe runway. Helicopters can also glide after engine malfunction because of the inertia (or momentum) of the rotors. The trick is to decrease, or invert the pitch thus not loosing head speed and once the heli is near the ground flare out and increase pitch, eqauls a sfae landing, that all heli pilots can do.

  • @TtimWh if the engine or whatever part of rotor mechanism fails, the helicopter will not glide, but fall like a rock. Please look up gravity.

  • @dingdingdingdiiiiing ur a knobjockey. please look up auto landings

  • I wouldn't fly it if it didn't have auto destruct rotor if engine stops and auto eject pilot seat with an parachute after the rotor destructed.
