Anyone who has ever piloted a chopper knows how difficult they are to fly. That young man is a maestro!!!! His landing was picture perfect and had total control the entire flight. As many others have stated already, I applaud his courage to actually get into that machine and fly like it was second nature. Simply incredible!! (I would have been dead in a millisecond.) Kudos.

Everyone who is a good airplane pilot, the first time they fly a helicopter will be an event. I don't think anyone hovers successfully without a few tries. It's not stable, the first thing you show airplane pilots is the inherent stability of an airplane. You can take your hands off the controls with no problems. Do not take your hands off the controls of a light helicopter whatever you do! LOL Helicopters are very sensitive, and they have a little delay built in from action to reaction. This makes oscillations so easy to get into. You have to be real gentle, looking a little away from the helicopter at first helps, just slight pressures, and wait a tad for the result. Helicopter pilots look like they're sitting there and not doing anything. If you find yourself making big move in a helicopter, it's because you're fighting some wild oscillation, and you better hope your instructor is with you. This guy looks like he's got the hang of it.

No seriously though, I have run a lot of air cooled 2 strokes, and if you don't have it jetted right, with the correct fuel mix, you run the real risk of piston scuffing, and seizure. Not chainsaws either, but 125 and 250cc vintage bikes. Some guys running these may not be as engine savvy as others, it just concerns me. And I see these are rotax snowmobile engines, so idk.

I've been a pilot for 30 years and seen way too many fatalities, but the vast majority are folks like this who engage in aviation in an "unconventional way", often flying with equipment poorly designed and/or poorly maintained. The pilots often have no formal training. Add up all these factors and combine that with the awareness that flying is generally one of the most demanding activities humans can engage in, and you understand the seriousness of the circumstances.

I was given the opportunity to fly one of these in Florida (BTW it is NOT a builder design. It was designed by a professional engineer John Uptigrove). Looking at the thing I guessed that it would want to go to three different zip codes simultaneously in a hover. People watching me said they could see the whites of my knuckles from a distance of more than 100ft. WHAT a surprise. The thing did absolutely nothing I didn't tell it to do. It was the easiest to hover helicopter I had ever flown. Because of my history with 2 stroke motors on motorcycles, I only hover taxied the thing but I was blown away at the ease of control. I asked John how he achieved such a control response and he said "I don't know".

You've got to wonder. Being a 19 yr. old pilot in Vietnam had to be a wild ride even compared to this. Veterans day is almost over but it never really ends. Thanks to all that gave everything to fight for the greatest country in the world!

We fired the Guatemalans that did our yard work because the Mexican that wanted the job had leaf blowers, chainsaws, and lawn mowers all powered by 50hp Rotax engines.... his crew always show up in OSHA Orange Flight suits and aviator sunglasses as well.... We had to hire them, awesome tools, classy uniforms, at that point it really wasn’t up to us anymore, was it???

Needs a proper warm up so cylinder expands to working clearance. Asking for too much power too soon results in a hot piston and a cold cylinder. Known as a cold seize. It sounded as if this engine was already warm when started...notice how it immediately settled into a nice smooth idle when started....a cold 2 stroke motor won't do that.
