hughes helicopter

my 14 year old hovering

[@HagarST]

I say start them young, and they will be able to contribute to aviation for a long long time. Great job!!! From a former helo pilot in the Army.

WOW! What a father son experience. Your son is doing a great job. My teaching point would be to get his seating position so his cyclic forearm would rest on his thigh to support it AND to use his fingers to adjust the cyclic. Doesn't take much and you don't need to make huge movements with the cyclic to get it where you want. You fly these guys with your wrist and your fingers. It also reduces those errant imprecise movements caused by using your forearm to intentionally or unintentionally move the cyclic. Yes, I was an IP. Little late with the advice as this was 11 years ago. Did your son continue with his flying career? If he could fly that, he could fly anything. TH 55, LOB (Little Orange Bug/Bastard depending on the day), my training helo in flight school. My first demo auto was on Valentines Day...I won't say the year. For the uninitiated, you might mention "George" and the throttle. Tricky little guy to fly as you had to coordinate throttle with collective movements or you'd overspeed and "George" would kick back through the throttle. Moving on to Huey's and a turbine life was much better. Great Father's day moment. Cheers

300 is the better helicopter for instruction, the ciclic give the immediate return of action, also components with more time life x others helicopters, simple for to make overhaull and without problems or surprises, congratulations for Great Captain Howard Hughes and yours engeniers.

Great job, young Man! Remember, eyes outside. . . . . . . .

[@brianw3010]

I started heli instruction at age 12...also in a 300. Solo both fixed and helicopter on my 16th birthday..... Good job btw

[@cincoboatworks]

Wonderful video. I look forward to doing the same thing with my son in the future. Thanks for sharing.

[@danielcarlson7931]

Perfect age to learn! Under good guidance he'll have a wonderful career ahead if he choses it.

[@MickB235]

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Great video.

[@PaulTaylor-ko8jy]

Still one of the best helicopters to land on a ship for Coast guard Navy or any other show it's non-s*** helicopter does what it's meant to be land take off of the metabak and get you to hospital and get you back Non-Stop it's one of the best small helicopters I've ever flown even else to see you still can survive it even if you crashed I tell it's 100% reliable helicopter

[@igorcappellin377]

[@vieuxjf]

🚁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rmck87navy]

Hovering stability has nothing to do with the type of power, piston or turbine.

[@gas34full]

cool

[@lrmgrl]

Leaving that tractor attached to the dolly is a huge no no.

[@Jetsect9]

cooool

[@Flightsworldwidevideos]

great video!!

[@mnr497]

Wow, most 14 year olds just want to learn to drive the car.

[@ITCXTC]

Better than I am and I have a few hours under my belt!

[@57629589]

Do some helicopters hover better than others? Turbine over piston?

[@Raymond-tn8hp]

How much did the helicopter cost?

[@Jusaxi]

Damn that pisses me of. Nicely done!!! xD

[@sansui1968]

start people young is what we need to do .. to many idiots not knowing squit or even how to spell :} to much heath and safety crap in public schrools i am glad i dropped out and went home school so i could save money for 10 acres of land and so on . i remember the police in my small town pulled me over and asks why i was not in schrool and if i was a drug dealer at 16 funny and sad as hell .. you could tell the guy was hella jellos of my nice 6 year old 1988 supra

[@PaulTaylor-ko8jy]

To be used for cargo tree hauling I am in hot patients in it on a ship came back again to go to Island in about 500 Miles off the street come back

[@samarvlogs9445]

What a price

[@bonitomiguel3813]

[@Bricks56]

Are these guys afraid of hights or something

[@francisconti9085]

Lol, up & away foreward flight is easy, calm steady hover harder..always tapping light touches of compensation, like balancing a broom on your fingertip, then keeping nose pointed in one spot 75 feet ahead of ya, not drifting around..a nice "quiet" hover is a joy! 😄👍

[@КРЫШАМИРА-к4е]

бляяя... а у пацана права есть?

[@kurosuke7209]

cool
