I'll drive this someday by myself 😃

Drive?

Ah but which one?? This is an important question!

I feel like I could drive a helicopter after watching this and playing Battlefield 4

[@ABHelicopters]

I would suggest you still get lessons before trying it for real!

[@MakeAsylumsGre4tAgain]

@@ABHelicopters lessons are for losers

[@vandavis000]

You mean fly a helicopter huh😂 lol. I understand cause i feel i could fly one but im trying get lessons asap.😂😊😮

[@Seawolf277]

Gotta keep pressure on the right pedal at all times or itll start spinning 😉

[@ABHelicopters]

True that - unless it’s a French or Russian helicopter mind

[@KaisTheFireWarrior]

Wellin a Robinson helicopter it's left pedal

[@pranayakhadka3507]

How long will it take to fly a mosquito helicopter. That copper is really small.

[@ABHelicopters]

A smaller helicopter isn’t necessary easier to fly- in fact , sometimes harder to, because it doesn’t have all the stability augmentation systems a larger one does, plus it has less mass, and therefore more affected by gusts. On rhe other hand , there are less systems to master , so less technical knowledge is required . I would still expect around 45 hours

[@allthingsgilmour]

Practice with an rc helicopter before flying the R22, it has larger control inputs lol! If you can fly an rc, you can fly an r22 😅

[@Kej0902]

No, cause the wind ruins the rc piloting

[@Sterling96]

If you can dodge a wrench... then you can dodge a ball😂 but really lol if you fly rc planes, you have knowledge of aerodynamics, and that physics goes hand in hand with it. But scale rc planes are nothing compared to flying an actual plane. I've soloed 3 times in a Cessna 150, I also tried to get into rc flying, but I crashed immediately😂 its a completely different perspective

[@ryneagheilim9782]

What are those switches they flick in Hollywood movies when they get into helicopters and start it?

[@ABHelicopters]

Modern helicopters have a FADEC system, effectively an ‘on/ off’ switch for the engine that does just that !

[@Sentientmad9m]

I don’t know about every helicopter but, in the Apache you turn the battery on, turn the APU on, start left engine wait for it to settle turn left engine to idle then start the right engine wait for it to settle then turn the right engine to idle. Then you bring the throttle power slowly up and then turn off the APU. Source: I play too much DCS lol

[@Brightsop]

Alright, Imma try this on my grandpa chopper right away.

[@ABHelicopters]

Good luck

[@534N69]

This was a really really good video tbh

[@ABHelicopters]

Thank you !

[@RedEyedJedi]

Yep, I think after watching this 45 second video, I've mastered this. Hold my beer.

[@ABHelicopters]

Please report back on how it goes!!

[@ABHelicopters]

And, when in doubt, use the force!

[@ComdrStew]

lol, you make it sound so easy. Most people over compensate the controls though.

[@ABHelicopters]

Unfortunately, it’s true that most people struggle with hovering the most out of all manoeuvres!

[@WorivpuqloDMogh]

@@ABHelicopters indeed, the hover is the hardest part

[@TodaysAnalysis]

How far can a helicopter like this go?

[@ABHelicopters]

In an r22, you have a maximum endurance of around 3 hours or so , at a cruise speed of about 80kts, that’s around 240 nautical miles, or 276 statue miles

[@TodaysAnalysis]

Ok, but what helicopter can go a 1000 miles!

[@ABHelicopters]

Well a CH47 chinook can fly 1200miles if fully fuelled with an additional ferry tank, and the HH-60J Jayhawk has a range of around 800 miles

[@TodaysAnalysis]

Ok thanks 👍

[@spitfirekid1]

Trying my hand at an R22 tomorrow!

Couldn't read what the diles do because of the description

There are lots of dials but learning to fly is done really by looking outside of the cockpit!

bro im mechanical engineering student and i just red a text about helicopters, thanks for the video now i need a helicopter

Hey, I hope that this was interesting for you - we have another video on helicopter maintenance that might interest you too!

Ok, I’m ready.. when can u send my certification?

[@ABHelicopters]

Unfortunately you need to take a test too!!

[@shailendraparihar3568]

I know left turn press left paidal but what I do right turn ?

[@ABHelicopters]

Right pedal- the two are interconnected

[@NoName-qf2ks]

How do you spin right ??

[@ABHelicopters]

In the hover, right yaw pedal!

[@tazzshakur8855]

Now i just need to hop in one😂

[@ABHelicopters]

Good luck!

[@heyinway]

Landing when and where you want is more important.

[@ABHelicopters]

reminds me of the quote , “Taking off is optional, landing is mandatory”

[@Sterling96]

It's just enough to be dangerous.That's how we like it as pilots 😂

[@ABHelicopters]

Fly safe!!!

[@tazzshakur8855]

I always had a feeling that's how it was

[@ABHelicopters]

See - simple!!!

[@Marioisbeast109goggy]

How to start the engine

[@ABHelicopters]

Depends one helicopter - some are as easy as lifting the switch from off to flight , others are more involved!!!

[@austin6151]

I would love to see someone try this 😂

[@ABHelicopters]

I might suggest that a full private pilot course , of at least 45 hours , works better than just 45 seconds!

[@keeferdog5617]

I “got it” in 35 seconds not 45…yeah right

[@Juah00]

So you not knowing your right hand from your left is supposed to give confidence..

[@ABHelicopters]

Sorry I am not sure I follow ?

[@Juah00]

@ABHelicopters it literally says "Collective left hand makes the helicopter go up and down" while showing your someone's right hand.... how can you not follow? Stole a video and put some bull text on it? Learn left from right and stop making bad videos.

[@ABHelicopters]

Sorry you don’t like the video ! I can assure you that no ‘stealing’ of videos has occurred , and the text is entirely correct! All the best

[@Br4m76]

Actually there are many procedures.

[@ABHelicopters]

Correct! Most are built on the experience of other unfortunate incidents

[@DillanMaylin]

Doesn't tell u how to start the helicopter

[@ABHelicopters]

I’m afraid there are different steps depending on the helicopter . In the r22, you put the throttle to close , turn the key like a car then once it fires, engage the clutch , once it is fully engaged , slowly increase throttle till the engine warms up, and the governor can take over . Help?

[@manishkumarraju2175]

Funny how people are like “where are the flying cars” that’s literally what helicopters are. We literally already have flying cars, they just aren’t the most practical things.

That’s certainly one way to look at it!! There are certainly people that use little helicopters , like the R22 in exactly this way
