How a helicopter works

10/1/09

[@MrThomasj95]

She cute!, but were and how did you train before you could fly and how many hours did it take? Thanks for explaining the operation

[@Repented008]

I like how you speak to her with respect. I sense love in you. You seem worthy to be a father. Well done.

[@jerrywsoloflex]

I try to speak to everyone like that, especially children.

[@coriscotupi]

Good video. I don't think I'd have the guts to fly an ultralight helicopter. I admire your sense of adventure!

[@joespencer8902]

I learned two things...how a helo works and I really like Heather!

[@PappyGunn]

I plan to do this too. Build a homebuilt piston powered helo, convince my wife to fly it, and then collect the life insurance.

[@jerrywsoloflex]

Pappy Gunn 😃

[@samjohnson466]

Thanks Jerry well done. Do you have a free-wheeling clutch built in for engine failure and auto rotation?

[@feuquegougueul1592]

Please, I repeat the question from shanta trasaily , what is this engine, and how much cc and HP? Thanks !

Nice piece of machinery!! Noticing the locking hardware and all the nice machining. The main rotor head and tail rotor linkages are nice pieces of engineering. Helicopters are such amazing "contraptions", which is the appeal. I get the impression from earlier postings that you might be involved in the company that makes these kits; if so, thanx for making this activity available to more people who can't afford the full-blown machines.

[@JerryOfPerth]

Heather is a sweetheart.

[@optimuscprime]

I dig her.

[@aileronhelicopters]

@@optimuscprime great

[@Xaxaxa1927]

please tell me what type of engine and the principle of

[@SouthernRailfan]

Excellent video, Jerry!! That's neat that the throttle is like a motorcycle handle!!

[@doranjaffas9645]

I found this informative and refreshing. The narrator had a voice for it and obviously the young lady added to it

[@Doom2pro]

Why not put a governor on the throttle? Consistent head speed makes for more stability...

[@ravigautam8685]

Best way to explain. Animation tutorial are so complicated and inorganic.

[@knightday1973]

Thanks. I've done about 15 hours on an RC heli. Can't imagine getting INTO one of these knowing how tricky they are to fly!

[@robertbone3064]

Whats the name brand, model, cost of this unit and how do you get one. Home built or factory made.

[@Ewwtuba]

They're both works of art.

[@chessmckenzie8319]

get Heather back for another tutorial!

[@p.macdermott2490]

Heather was an excellent choice for this tutorial. Who could resist watching the video all the way to the end. Her smile is enthralling. Very informative video by the way, just grease those squeaky controls .

[@Xnocturnus]

Well-explained, thank you! Cute assistant, too... ;)

[@hembonero1547]

Hello sir sorry i want to ask if the front propeller drive shaft and the tail propeller drive shaft where tu buy? Thanks

[@ekkie50]

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@adriatic123]

Very down-to-earth simple explanations, thanks!

[@jerrywsoloflex]

Finest compliment a flight instructor could get. Thank you!

[@apenulrick1382]

I love your work just love it thank you

[@jetcat120]

Just thought of something. When hovering an RC helicopter with the nose pointing at you left becomes right and forward becomes backward on the cyclic input and takes a bit of getting used to. So it would be like you sat in the seat applying left cyclic and the helicopter rolling to the right.

[@jamesmills9158]

It must be such an incredible feeling to fly one of those.

[@hayleyburgess9449]

I want one. Or both. Stunningly beautiful.

[@wagnojardim245]

Meu amigo explica como focina o sistema em baixo e como focioana a ligaçao dos cabos que eleva as pas por baixo do banco!!!

[@jetcat120]

I have flown RC helicopters at competition level and this looks like a full size RC helicopter

[@egshane]

i love people who make their own aircraft.

[@stag3t-muspsa910]

egshane wish I had the brains to do so.....

[@narapat100]

Omg she is adorable.... I came here to just see her.... God bless you dear

[@choppergirl]

Explain the "controls are offset 90 degrees" thing a bit more. I don't recall that from poking spinning gyroscopes. When I poked them they'd just start some kind of weird precession... but then I was poking them at the top.

[@skibee50]

+CHOPPERGIRL AIRWAR Gyroscopic procession : when force is applied to a rotating body, the reaction from that force occurs 25% later in the rotation

[@choppergirl]

Errr.... when a force is applied to anything, I think a reaction from that force should occur immediately, unless you are getting into einstein territory... ....and being sure to look at things on a molecular level, no macro level, which could hide a reaction because of the elasticity of the object. For example, kicking a soccer ball, the soccer ball will not immediately move in total because of inertia, but it certainly is deforming and reacting at the point of impact and the reaction is traveling through the air inside and across the surface of the soccer ball...

[@rashidminhasbhatti9618]

CHOPPERGIRL's AIRWAR GOOD

[@FASTPISTOLDRAW]

technicaly speaking the blades do not take a "bite" of air . what is happening is the blades as they change pitch there is low pressure on top of the blades. And high underneath the blades thus giving the helicopter lift.

[@wowforreeel]

+FASTPISTOLDRAW - layman's terms

[@bronwindraney5111]

+FASTPISTOLDRAW I'd disagree. As in a fixed wing airplane, the rotors are just like wings. It tales a measure of angle of attack, the rotor or wing actually DOES scoop or bite the air. This is HOW the low pressure above and high pressure below is created. Pitch is the degree to which the angle of attack is applied to get more or less lift. In fundamental terms you can reduce a great deal of aeronautical jargon into the fact the a wing or rotor, scoops the air and pushes it down while Newton's law takes effect and lifts the machine.

[@jeblowme2nite]

STEVE R JR false, just like a variable pitch prop. Some of the resulting thrust come from the AOA of the blades and not from the airfoil itself

[@hottieoberholzer8632]

Oh please Steve, this lesson was for laymen (nice work Jerry), and not for aeronautical engineers. Chill!

[@2007christian]

A helicopter reacts like a gyroscope! Very interesting. Never thought about that!

[@whiskeyfoxtrotnovember8888]

Woww!! Pretty awesome!!

[@diegoulate3401]

Thanks for the explanation bro.

[@hayprofilms]

Gosh coordinating all that must be a challenge that I wish I could master. nice video, very infornmative and simple to understand, but as you say, your body has to figure it out. thanks. best wishes Hayden

[@coriscotupi]

billt460 - Go look up "dissymetry of lift", it is helicopters 101 stuff. In a nutshell, helicopter rotors are built to deal with this automatically, there is no action required from the pilot to specifically address this (except keep airspeed within limits). Advancing blade flaps up, retreating blade flaps down, effectively changing their angles of attack (thus lift) balancing out the lift on both sides when the helicopter moves at any nonzero speed.

[@prrolg]

So the twist grip when twisted increases the main rotor speed and engine rpm simultaneously. Yes?

[@mrajan999999]

hey jerry,never seen a better presentation of how a helicopter works and very very well done.thanks a lot.who i presume is your wife and your dog did make us feel at home,relaxed and totally at ease a you went about.great job jerry.

[@kman-mi7su]

An ultralight helicopter, a sure-fire way to pick up women! LOL!

[@andrewramirez1034]

SHE SURE MAKES YOUR COPTER LOOK NICE!

[@jerrywsoloflex]

@mrbilly800 Co-axials are somewhat more expensive to build but are easier to control and provide more lift for the horsepower than tail-rotor designs.

[@jamesashford5275]

Oh wow! I always wondered how they work. Very informative. So cool you don’t need a license to fly this, being an ultra lite and all. I want one!!!! 🤗🚁

[@stephenmilligan6709]

Thank you Jerry, and Heather!

[@roggeralves94]

That's really nice!

[@acie1972]

Great tutorial! Thanks!

[@msredneck001]

Very informative video. Thanks jerry and the lovely Heather.

[@matthewtaylor7316]

Without tail rotor input the fuselage will begin to rotate in the direction the main rotor is turning (top Blade) as soon as the aircraft gets light on the skids, even before it's off the ground. Pulling the collective without coordinated left peddle and cyclic will send you on a very unwanted circus ride.

[@JorgePPG]

hello! I'm very interested. I wish and I to have such a mosquito. can you tell me where you bought all its parts? I noticed that there are more people who have patterns identical to yours. thank you so much, I expect an answer. I apologize for my English, I'm from Italy.

[@balbeersingh1596]

How does the cyclic control work at the top rotor. I notice that there isn't a swash plate.?

[@jerrywsoloflex]

The swashplate is inside the center mast.

[@neminathmagadum9143]

Good work and information about basic skills for flying helicopter

[@Flightsworldwidevideos]

great video!!

[@robertdufresne9195]

You made it look so simple. I want to fly now . Love your introduction. Thank you. 🌹❤️🇨🇦 .

[@jerrywsoloflex]

You're most welcome.

[@mantsenastro]

I am planing on builing 1,i just want to know if a manual engine works.

[@jerrywsoloflex]

@rossncookie I don't know. Each country makes its own regulations. I'll try to find out for you what the ultralight rules are in the UK.

[@rufo]

Search here on KZbin for Autorotation. Helicopters can indeed glide without power, using airspeed to drive the rotor and then land using the rotational energy stored in that rotor. So if the main rotor separates or something like that then yes, you are dead, but if the engine stops, you have options to get it safely to the ground.

[@meepk633]

Heather is a good sport.

[@druganovmoreira5559]

Excelente videos.

[@BlackfeatherAlexander]

2:35 We have a bad ass over here and I like it.

Alex Ω this guy is stupid

how does coaxial compare with cost to build

[@Videogametourist]

Where could I order one of these kits?

[@arthurgimenes6754]

I love all of this!

[@blackbirdxx928]

Please tell Heather she has the prettiest hair i think i have ever seen:)

[@enroy37]

There's nothing better than an awesome machine with a pretty girl in it :o)

[@CUBAN2014]

Great job ....beautiful helicopter...thanks for share your videos...very interesting ...

[@frs535]

An excellent model! Well done!

[@birrysund3269]

Thank you for this vidio, I want to fly a helicopter now....thanks for the education on helicopter...

[@philipfarrell8114]

Very informative video your a very good instructor she will be a good pilot keep up the great videos

[@cardioflow]

Very interesting and beautiful. And the helicopter is neat too. :)

[@riverking4u]

Good video. Many questions answered.

[@manofmesopotamia7602]

where is the location of shooting this movie? I caught a sight on behind, the landscape is wonderful!

[@nakinajay]

she is absolutely gorgeous

[@CrunchwrapSupremeExtraBeef]

this is awesome! what are the rules and restrictions on running them on private property? is there like a ceiling where you can operate without having to contact controllers? or can you really only run these in uncontrolled airspace?

[@thunderousfire]

curious question here, is it suppose to be squeaky when she pulls up the collective? or should they be oiled but it wasn't really maintained?

[@tooljoker197]

great video, i've been up in a blackhawk once and the pilot put my stomach where my head is. i think i'd like to fly an ultralight some day though.

[@itallosantos2859]

it would be cool if you did a very detailed video showing him and explaining it. thank you.

[@PHOTOIK]

Fantastic video! Very helpfull.

[@joeraymond4020]

So cool! I'm really interested in buying and learning to fly one of these! Where can I find information to accomplish this? Thank you new subscriber

[@bebohkh1]

could you plz explain the mechanism of the engine

[@O7ROADKING]

hi jerry is there a gyro for the tail rotor or is it all done by foot

[@mauriciosquizani7835]

Como obter o projeto para construir um, e onde comprar as peças amigo.

[@jamesmills9158]

Great video. I loved the close ups of all the working parts. I always wondered what was going on under the fuselage. Is this the same as the mosquito without the bodywork ?

[@jerrywsoloflex]

James Mills It’s the Mosquito Air. Aptly named.😀

[@maheshreddy8856]

Hi Sir, I am very glad to seen ur video and what is the top speed of the helicopter km/h, how many kilometres mileage will give per litre fuel. Colud u pls share ur valuble answer sir, Thank you, Mahesh.

[@paulandtify]

Jerry, Great video. You sound a lot like Tom Seleck.

[@The506trooper]

RPM means revolutions per minute, It's how fast the blades turning, or this case how fast the engine is turning. You always want to keep your RPM's in the green, remember more power to the engine more left pedal input for lift. It's basically the same as your car engine ( when checking your timing their checking your RPM's. Hope this was helpful?

[@Skammy5]

Pronounced rip-em's....

[@mohammadishaq4454]

Lovely wonderful excellent superb.

[@gregthornthwaite8011]

jerry a VERY nice Mosquito, would be loads of fun to fly !!!!

[@brittanyrocks111]

I get the impression Heather is in full charge when it comes to anything like that. She doesn't wait for any man to run out and defend her.

[@dhsjohn01]

Really loved the flight!!!!!!!!

[@aqueousone]

No ballistic parachute on the rotor head?

[@gfbjhdvjhgdjvhgd]

Perfect "girl next door".

[@anilrai8975]

I m interested sir where I can get all spare part

[@marceloferreira6563]

friend good afternoon! you sell this project? What engine are you using and how propellers and the Ballerina? I'm from Brazil and I would love to make one of this model, commonly used in I

[@jerrywsoloflex]

You can buy Mosquito helicopters here: www.composite-fx.com

[@zatorce]

Great clip for such a pretty lady. Thanks heather

[@Tez73]

Brilliant Jerry well explained . Looks well made machine

[@jerrywsoloflex]

Thanks, once a flight instructor - always a flight instructor. I got about 650 flights out of my two Mosquito helicopters before they failed in flight. Experimental is the right category for sure.

[@dambam1000]

@jerrywsoloflex OK.does it require any special education or university degree?

[@tarzanek5]

I love your helicopter. So cool. Hope one day I can afford one. Also your daughter is very pretty.

[@ddskimmer]

My wife is old enough to be my daughter....close to being granddaughter. She couldn't resist me...so I had to marry her.
