  • 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!!!

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

  • 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.

  • @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.

  • how much does that heli cost?

  • dam thats good piloting

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

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

  • ...

    Great Solo.

  • @ 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)

  • Did you shit brix?

  • 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
