How to fly a helicopter | Main controls explained

[@Apothecary-qy8ed]

This is such a clear, informative, and interesting explanation of the controls system in a helicopter. Thank you (and more please)!

[@Anthelionhelicopters]

@@Apothecary-qy8ed thankyou, we’ll be getting back into a new round of video production soon! Any special requests? What would you find useful?

[@pelinelden]

I just started my helicopter training with R44, Alex your videos and the way you explain the things are amazing… Thank you.

[@Anthelionhelicopters]

Hi, thank you so much., that means a lot. Where did you start your training?

[@pelinelden]

@@Anthelionhelicopters In Ormond Beach, Florida. I watch your videos over and over again with a pure attention, it helped a lot when I’m flying. If I was in West Coast I’d definitely choose your school.

Well done! Excellent explanation of the fundamentals!

[@Anthelionhelicopters]

Thankyou 🙏

Well done on explaining the fundamental controls in such an understandable way. That's the first time I've actually grasped the concepts. I now appreciate the complexity of combining the controls - I bet it's frightening for fresh trainees! I guess it's like any motor function though: the more you practice, the more you commit the actions to muscle memory.

[@Anthelionhelicopters]

Thanks for the message. You are correct, the more you practice the better it becomes. Indeed, frequency is extremely important in the beginning. We see the best results with students who train at least 3 times per week, that way the muscle memory really adapts and learns.

Absolutely excellent introduction to controls. This video should be mandatory for all student HC pilots!!😀

[@Anthelionhelicopters]

Thankyou, that means a lot! Glad you found it useful. What other videos would you like to see me make?

[@truthwithin9131]

Well explaned ! Now i know why helicopter pilot seems busy and more focused than airplane pilots.

[@Anthelionhelicopters]
