Bahahaha

lol drones will never replace planes/helps in our lifetime

Bahahah

In a North American made helicopter, like this R44, the rotor blades turn left, so the aircraft rotating right like in this video is a torque turn, easier on the aircraft.

We turn both ways with little to no difference depending on direction

I wasn’t… I was flying, secondly, we spray in a manner to avoid applying chemicals where they aren’t supposed to be; IE my loader’s face.

@crewdogg16 I just got called off of work for 3 days because a crop duster dropped chemicals that made 12 people go to the hospital. Not sure what it was but yeah. Sounded nasty.

It looks cool but really isn't healthy the spray they are using can cause cancer not to mention they constantly buzz houses even though they are supposed to stay 400 feet above residential areas.

You would be correct.

I do lol

Looks like an old Guia

Where is the nav system?

No, Ariat

@@crewdogg16 I love the sound of the older Dauphins because of the wailing fenestrons.

@@sharipuckett6923 I strongly agree. The wailing tail rotor was the signature sound of the fenestron. Too bad they had to screw it up. Now it sounds like a dying cat.

@@bryanseitz8137 yup same thing with the c-5 Galaxy military cargo aircraft when they got rid of the screaming engines it sounds like a normal airliner now🙄

The New Dauphins in my opinion sound like a leaf blower

Here on the west coast you can always tell when the coast guard is coming cuz of how distinct the Dauphin sounds.

I don't speak Spanish but I did run this through Google Translation, hope this helps! Sí, buena pregunta. Esta es una conversación del helicóptero Bell 47 de una compañía llamada Texas Helicopters. Texas Helicopters llamó a esta conversión Wasp (M-74). Se fabricó específicamente para el trabajo agrícola debido a su cabina de un solo asiento elegante y liviana. Solo se hizo un número limitado de ellos y pueden ser muy difíciles de encontrar en línea.

Yes, it’s Samaritan One

1992

I’m not sure that I’d say it’s trickier per se’. it does require additional attention, especially when you have to accept a direct headwind/tailwind when spraying. turning to the wind tends to keep the RPMs high which require significant throttle reduction and the opposite is true for the turn away from the wind. the big key seems to be just keeping your turns as mellow and consistent as possible.

@@crewdogg16 appreciate the knowledge. I’m a PPL and will remain one. But, I learn from Ag Cowboys so wanted to learn turns at some point. “Slower inputs and maneuvers” seems to be the theme to the 47. Can’t get crazy with it.

You can use the Collective to do the turns, don't need pedals, for a left turn, go down with the collective, Up for a right turn did ag for years, you may need a little peddle on both , try it and let me know, don't need to pull up so high, feel it out, I don't want you to get hurt, I also flew the Wasp a little bit, flew Bell's from the D-1, most G models including Turbo Charged , just learn to twist the throotle either way, just be patient, it will come all of a sudden!! My last ride was the Bell 47 Soloy, with is the gas Turbine model without Stab bars,that was like flying a Jetranger! Good Luck, remember to always listen to that little guy on your shoulder, if he says don't do something, Don't, you can always go back,watch for powerlines and Guy wires, lost friends from both! Stay Safe!

@@michaellynaugh4372 appreciate the advice. Im flying a turbo charged (G-3B-2) right now. It’s been out of commission for a while due waste gate issue (installing a new actuator soon). In the mean time my instructor let me fly his Bell which is the Soloy(Gas Turbine). Got to practice ag turns for the first time in that. Being it had a governor and plenty of power it was very forgiving.

Yes the pad was occupied by West Michigan Air Care. They were at the same hospital for an unrelated transport request.

@@crewdogg16 Do you work for either company?

No I don’t. It’s not something we do much of.

@@crewdogg16 why l see 2 helicopters they possibly be 1

same! they used to zoom overhead ALL the time

Thank you!

Angel Mendoza if it makes you feel better, we don't fly dead people (not that some don't ultimately die but, they're alive when we get the flight request).

I have the exact same feeling

Least I’m not the only I used to think that as a child but I do miss hearing that sweet sound both at day and night. Both Samaritan and The University of Chicago had the AS365 Dauphin helicopters. the U of C’s was a 1989 and the Samaritan might be a 1990 or 1991. Thanks for posting

+The Angry General The Dauphin is very similar to the EC155, it doesn't sound as good though! The EC155 utilizes tailrotor blades that are offset instead of being symmetrically spaced to eliminate the noise footprint.

+Andrew Lytle They both look the same i think the EC155 has a little bit of a longer body than the Dauphin. Are they both from the same manufacture? I notice the difference in the sound. They must run off of different engines correct me if im wrong. The Dauphin sounds a lot like the air force Comanche helicopter.

The 155 is a little longer and wider. They both are manufactured by Eurocopter which is now Airbus. The engines are both Turbomeca Arriel engines but different models. Most people probably can't tell them apart except, the EC155 has a longer nose and 5 main rotor blades instead of four on the AS365.

Andrew Lytle Some EC155s have a 4 main rotor blades, some EC155s have a 5 main rotor blades. Maybe one is made to go faster than the other.

ALL EC155s have 5 blades. There are AS365N3s with longer noses due to bigger weather radar.
