Flying the Helicycle "Turbinator"

[@liborvalenta6728]

By far the best minicopter i have ever seen.

[@alanblog4628]

Lovely control ... I'm a fixed wing man in UK and in 1975 after I'd got my PPL I enquired about rotary wing lessons. The fixed wing lessons were £16 ph back then and the rotary were £50 ph. I was offered a discount of 5 hours from the then 40 required minimum (now 45 I believe) to get the rotary wing licence as I had a fixed wing licence and had I the money I'd have done it ... but alas .. I didn't. Always regretted it. This bloke is an excellent pilot judging from what we see in the video.

Man this guy can fly. Beautiful copter and excellent flying skills.

I love the turbine sound! Beautiful helicopter, yeah I’m jealous

beautiful, impressive heli and flying skills, thanks for sharing, that has to be the most fun you can have while sitting down ! ! ! thanks for sharing

Awesome helicopter, I want one! Superb flying also, so smooth. Now I want to fly like that!

exceptional machine control, Awesome pilot!

I was expecting him to start doing "tic-tocs" lol. Nice bird! I'm jealous

[@geraldheinig4205]

In-freaking-credible! It's worth buying just for that gorgeous turbine sound!

[@abdacnc3969]

How much would it cost ?

[@geraldheinig1473]

@@abdacnc3969 I just had a look: US$38,500 It's a kit helicopter, so you'd pay quite a bit more for one that's fully assembled. Also, I'm not at all sure that that includes the engine: gas turbines are fearfully expensive, so it wouldn't surprise me if that were the price a) for the (unassembled) kit and b) without the engine. Then, once you've got the thing up and running and you've paid for your (horrifically expensive) helicopter training, you've got the maintenance to worry about.

[@abdacnc3969]

@@geraldheinig1473 thanks for your reply and explanation,, helicos will always cost a fortune ,,

[@ramantaneja5824]

Beautiful helicopter. The Joy of flying your own helicopter, is great

[@kdanagger6894]

Awesome quick stop at 5:38. I don't think I've ever seen one quite like that!

[@junksails814]

Almost a tail strike

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

Wow that 5 min shot of the control panel was interesting while everything to watch was going on at the turbine engine.

[@freedom281]

Man, I wish I had one. Looks VERY fun.

[@iflyhelis]

I'll buy one now! What a supurb machine!

[@djayhoffmann8923]

Wow !! Very nice chopper and flying skills.

[@nw7696]

Stan Foster must be an ex-combat pilot with those maneuvering skills? Awesome pilot and bird!

[@mackdaddy8739]

NORMAN WELCH I’m thinking Mother Rucker...

[@freedom281]

Nope. ALL can easily or at least with a good teacher learn to fly as he does in 1-2 years. Nothing more, and it look so violent when he stop but it behave that way because it's lightweight, and this is also why you never see bigger Choppers do this, they CAN, but it's harder than this actually. But it take good knowledge about his Chopper. But trust me he had a good teacher. Impossible? NO, Impressive? YES

[@lorenzodunn3226]

Excellent film footage and sound. Great dialogue.

[@musoseven8218]

Very cool, looks like a skilled pilot, still can't decide if he's a mad man or a genius 😊😊😉😊 Him getting the tail rotor so close to the ground, even with a skid, made me feels a bit anxious!

[@daveblevins3322]

That's a very nice example. Thanks for posting 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Patrake555]

For all the helicycle a saw,you’re have the best leg-pad looking 👀 ❤😊.have a nice fly !😊

[@cam_DA_Hawkdriver]

The turbine looks like the APU on the Blackhawk. I want one of these. No SAS or pedal hold computers, but that’s what makes it fun!

[@betofazzo]

Cool machine and good pilot!

[@Drumsticksmcgee]

He knows how to fly. Nicely done.

[@KobraVR]

Jinking about in ground-effect looks like a whole lot of fun in this thing :O)

[@THESkiViking]

That guy flys like he's a veteran Cobra pilot. People don't realize that flying in low tight spots is more dangerous and requires more skill and control than flying high does. Flying low DOES make it easier to film and see the heli in flight.

[@johnholmes6428]

This guy can fly for sure! Skills

[@terryisaac8195]

IMHO, A single-seat heli- is a complete waste except as a very expensive toy.

[@keithwhisman]

Terry Isaac and what’s wrong with having an expensive toy?

[@brazzy1467]

Fly's like he's a little bird pilot from the 160th SOAR (A). NSDQ!!!

[@mboyer68]

Do you really think that people would not realize that flying in tight spots low to the ground requires more skill? I understand that many people aren't very smart..however, that's pretty obvious.

[@Seeker_903]

I’d watch it with those quick stops man, wouldn’t want to crash that beauty.

[@scottnix4991]

Don't know much about Helicopters but I can recognize an expert pilot when I see one. I'm guessing decades of experience. Viet Nam maybe? Eight years later but this was just recommended to me.

[@jeyapaulsamathanam7057]

The Helicycle was conceived and designed by B.J. Schramm (Buford John Schramm) , the founder of RotorWay International. B.J Schramm was killed in a Helicycle crash on 28.4.2004. His dream in life was that every American home should have a helicopter in their driveway. His first helicopter was the Scorpion.

[@j.settle6448]

Cool! Like that thing a bunch.

[@urbanturbine]

Single seater aircraft is cool but i always find flying enjoyable with company... Looks Really fun and awesome though.

[@singsingsingsongsong]

Nice quick stop.

[@baronpilot2bb]

Stan's machine is exceptional and his flying skills are solid, especially considering that he is a fairly new heli pilot. If you want to see a real life emergency auto he did simply go to his channel and watch a 40 MPH run-on landing he did when the flame went out at 150 ft and 40 MPH forward speed. It was interesting to say the least.

Great copter just looks like everything is in it's place and balanced I'd been in small fixed wings many times but never a helicopter my first time in a helicopter the instructor said this is just like a fixed wing and as soon as we leave the ground we're flying and he went straight up to about 40 ft and hoovered I said now this is flying had a great time

[@aprilnurahman3972]

Ditengah kemajuan zaman dengan Sumber Daya Manusia yang tinggi masyarakat biasa sudah bisa membuat helikopter mini dengan tanpa bantuan ahlinya. Hal ini karena masyarakatnya sudah ahli dibidangnya. Negara-negara maju masyarakatnya sudah bermain dengan tekhnologi dirgantara. Sementara di Indonesia masyarakatnya masih mau dicekokin sampai mabok agama.

The idea with helicopters is to fly. The pilot don't need a heli. He need a law mover at he height he is flying. Beautiful heli cool video.

[@nssherlock4547]

Oh ok, so you 'd be happy with a video ,that he starts up, takes of and then just flies away, trying to focus on a speck in the sky at a distance? Or the video we see,close up action with his skills on show.There are more videos of Stan flying his machine, high and low,fast and slow.
