Discovery Flight at Air Atlanta Helicopters. Introduction to controls, straight & level, turns and hovering. Flight in a Schweizer 300 CBi.

[@kylerboyle]

Finally a 720 video and a steady camera.... Bravo.

[@rocktruggy03]

Awesome dude. I'm going to be doing my transition to rotor in the 300CBi this summer. I'm so excited.

[@paulie2tanks]

Had my intro flight this past Wednesday in Plymouth, MA at New England Helicopter Academy in the same aircraft. Same kind if intro program this fellow had. I'm going back for more at $305 PH, dual and $265 PH solo. Great experience. Always wanted to try.

[@bertglorieux]

@thiagobedu No I don't have my license yet... not done yet with the training. But as far as the school goes, I would definitely recommend them. My instructor is Scott. I would go for it, you won't regret it.

[@ARussell817]

Bah! This is so EPIC!!!! I want to goto helicopter pilot school soooo bad. so expensive

[@adoreslaurel]

If you have contra rotating blades {twin rotor},does this mean you dont need swash plates to compensate for mild pitch on advance and coarse pitch on retreat?

[@eljin00]

Boy thats the look of love if ever i did see haha hope he got his licence.

[@MookieFreeman]

yea haha

[@gimp2x]

@centerra100 This helo is a 2007 model. Not old at all. It is in pristine shape. I should know. I'm the instructor in the video and I'm in it every day.

[@123helicopter]

What video editing program do you use?

[@gilbertotemporal8290]

Cuanto cuesta este helicoptero???

[@Flightsworldwidevideos]

great video!!

[@LeonUK]

did you use the GoPro Cam 720p ?

[@nathanpennell2309]

I have a petrol rc helicopter much cheaper but awesome still want one

[@iflyhelis]

Once that helicopter is moving forward, it is like flying a plane, nice & rock solid. But hovering is the true test @ how good you are at controlling it, versus over-controlling it. Exhilarating flying it, isn't it? I really hope you have continued on to getting your license, but this video was 2 years ago. What happened to you?

[@Cejo871]

iwant to fly a helicopter what do i need to do im 14 and have big plans

[@123helicopter]

@brglo Hmm, that looks very good! First thing to do, is to buy myself an iMac.. ;-)

[@xmunoz21]

about how much is the cost???

[@pandora77711]

I have 20hours in R22 and i dont have to pay like $330. I pay only $280 . But if you compare those two helicopter you will find many differences.

[@alvindueck8227]

how's this compared to an R22?

[@bluemarshall6180]

It has three blades and harder to fly. But better to fly it when you get use to it. And its a good trainer

[@bertglorieux]

I use iMovie on an iMac.

[@bertglorieux]

@kybot65 Thanks!

[@Rameshkumar-zx7gq]

nice

[@karmenjazbec7743]

yeah

[@olivermunro3591]

I learned in the army

[@bertglorieux]

@vlaka72 Best is to give them a call directly. It's a great school, they will definitely help you out. Air Atlanta Helicopters Inc‎ 1951 Airport Rd # 116 Chamblee, GA 30341-4951 [phone]

[@skipsassy1]

I have never heard an instructor (CFI) tell a person , "You should try another hobby" That doesn't sell rental time on these expensive lessons which very few have the real pilot abilities needed not to die during their career. Fixed wing student pilot, and more importantly a transportation lawyer 15 years for DOT (Wash. D..C) Sorry for the truth. Those CFI's live for rental customers and surely the paymaster helicopter companies that hire them. They need a thousand hours, and you are going to pay for that, not them.

[@olivermunro3591]

I can fly and have my own helicopeter

[@bluemarshall6180]

Park it i your own garrage.😁

[@skipsassy1]

This is where 95% of all the money is made - intro. flights! They don't care if you never come back - they need the hours and that machine on Hobbs Time. These VWs are very expensive to buy but are less equiped than a VW car for 14K. Facts, sorry. Yes, it's fun but be forwarned it will cost you at least 14K to hover.

[@Heyemeyohsts]

this doesnt tell me sh..

[@loopi222]

With drones, a lot of this hardly seems worth it.

[@Rameshkumar-zx7gq]

nice
