[@calvarycustoms6681]

Those Flybar heli’s are very easy to fly… inside a large room, with no moving air. But if there’s more than just a little bit of wind, they’re about useless. The gyroscopic function of the flybar is always trying to keep the rotors level. That’s great if all you want to do is Hover. But if you want to travel in a direction other than Up or Down, you need control of Pitch. And that’s difficult to achieve when the flybar is constantly compensating. So when wind starts to blow you off course, you have to yaw into the wind, and pitch forward as hard as you can. And unfortunately, those types of swashplates just don’t allow for enough pitch authority.

[@pacovoegelin3336]

Did you know that the rotor on the real deal is just a big cooling fan for the pilot? When it stops spinning in the air, the pilot starts to sweat immediately. Ba dum tss.

Also all electric things does not work on electric it is a scam it work on a smoke when it escape the item stop working

[@jwald6795]

Jimmy, as a helicopter pilot and former Army flight instructor, I must say your instructor is excellent. And you did very very good. Most students don't pick up hovering that fast. The best advice I can give you is to relax. You can't hover if your not relaxed. well not very well anyway. You did good. You'll be soloing in no time.

[@Midwest-RC]

You need a real RC helicopter not a cheap eBay toy.. look up Bert from BK Hobbies down there in Florida. He will walk through a true radio controlled helicopter..

My son in law let me drive an excavator, each hand does multiple things and so do the feet. After I started to get the hang of it I realized if I needed to do something I just did it. If I tried to think it through I couldn’t. While I never left the ground it’s got to be a little like what you were doing. Love it.

[@johnnunn8688]

An excavator doesn’t go down and crash if you screw up, unless you drive it off a cliff!

[@LegacyIndustrial1]

Very good parallel. A good excavator operator can pick the wallet out of your back pocket!!

[@jessdigs]

I’m a union backhoe/excavator operator for the last 20 years and I took some helicopter lessons. Man is helicopter way harder. But you’re right, I have not thought about how to control the excavator in years. It just happens

What is that object above instructors head, in cockpit? Interesting your neighbourhood does not have fences between/ around the houses...how do you keep pets and kids secure? Looks like there is space on starboard side for another fuel tank. Great video, thanks!

[@realone4341]

This video is the best overall explanation of function and control of all rotorcraft....Wow!

[@DavidLucht]

Best description of rotorcraft flight controls I've ever seen. Learning to hover is a real workout and took me longer that 45 minutes. After watching you I started to tense-up a little. Likely bringing back memories from over 50 years ago in Army flight training. You did great!

[@jimgross5]

I always told my new students we were going out to do some hover rodeo. They would understand afterwards 😁

[@Quiquetenax]

Jimmy, I taught advanced rotary for a number of years…best advice in a non-pc manner, “hold the cyclic like your gentleman’s sausage! Gentle grip is all you need!’

I’m gonna be another one to suggest trying a collective pitch RC helicopter

[@stuartburgess6945]

Instructor knows his stuff cool calm & a great collective, exhausting first lesson just relax & feel the torque you're going to love this just like Garrett does, well done😊

[@Sebastopolmark]

That guy's a GREAT instructor. They do say flying a Heli is more feel than anything else. Carpe Diem! !! !!!

[@tedferkin]

I've heard the best instrument to use whilst flying a helicopter is your butt. It's far more about feeling and balance than a fixed wing

[@gordondavis5429]

Jimmy, I have travelled the world, worked in remote places where few people ever go (Arctic, desserts, jungles, etc) and flown in many different small to large aircraft. Mostly, everywhere I worked, I had to fly in choppers, again small to large and most in between. Of ALL the very near misses that I experienced, many of which were miracles that I survived, most were in helicopters! Please take care, I enjoy your channel more than most , because you are such a crazy guy, and I would hate to see you “buy it” in a chopper…….

[@alrad5686]

[@aerofly2]

@@johnnunn8688 A collective pitch R/C helicopter will have a swashplate to provide the ‘collective’, a fixed pitch doesn’t have a swashplate (this model doesn’t), so it’s fixed pitch. On a fixed pitch heli, height is controlled by the engine throttle.

[@nickarganbright7218]

So fun, recently got a few finally getting somewhat comfortable flying them, honestly don't know if I ever be able to do the crazy tricks some of the people do with them, but at this point I'm happy with the fact that I can actually keep them in the sky without crashing 😂, well sometimes anyway. They are so tricky to fly it boggles my mind watching the pros fly them like they do!

[@blingspsycho]

glad to finally see some helicopter content!!!!!

[@user-di4kv9yk3g]

i think i might be a little disappointed in the modification made to the toy helo, did you file the appropriate paperwork and have the aircraft inspected by an authorized child ? - i bet you didn't - what could possibly go wrong !! DID !! respect to you Mr Fixed Wing gone Rotary, the concentration on your face, (might be wind) and 'by jove i think he's got it' - makes me proud - got me thinking of all them young lads in Vietnam

[@RayceCarSVT]

You should do some rc plane stuff they are really cool

[@silviozanforlin9785]

Torque pedals Jimmy.. even on a RC helicopter models, usually on the opposite joy stick controls of the remote, you have to ‘counter act’ the high torque on lift off, this is also with real helicopters, when lifting off the ground. And with real helicopters, when you take off, and the revolutions of the main blades is set, with the proper engine revs’, its collective, torque and stabilise with cyclic..

[@cameronnerdin4910]

Being an Army Aviator, you have a bunch of guys green with envy for your little helicopter. I remember waiting to refuel at Ft Rucker watching all of us new guys bouncing up and down hovering waiting for fuel, as the week went by we all smoothed out.

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

Awesome after that short a time. From what I've seen most people need about 5 hours to start getting the 'feel'. Now go flying in an aircraft, you will be so much smoother.

[@mrbill8542]

WOW--there is alot to flying one of those things---well done, Jimmy !!!

[@petesmith8000]

I am lucky enough to have flown a 'Twin Squirrel' a couple of times (obviously with my pilot owner beside me). From what I remember flying a helicopter is 'a dance'. You are always making micro adjustments & at no time are you static. But then you feel the rhythem & & it just flows... Boy did I sleep well after those flights...

I was in one of these (N1666S) back in 2011 over Duluth MN / Lake Superior. it's such an amazing aircraft. Excited to see more videos!!! Congrats!

[@tomstripling8793]

I had a similar experience to Jimmy with a helicopter. I was already a commercial, instrument and multi engine airplane rated pilot. We were doing some major work on our Twin Beech and there was a helicopter at the same location. I took a 15 minute flight in the helicopter. It was one of the most confusing things in aviation that I ever had. None of the flight controls worked the same in the helicopter as it did in an airplane. For example. you push forward on the control stick. The airplane goes down, but the helicopter goes forward. That was the one flight I took in a helicopter. I am glad I had the experience, but did not do any more helicopter flying.

[@mayberrygobber5818]

Great job Jimmy. You are 1 of the two percent that can coordinate all three controls and perform a hover in less than two hrs of training. Big pat on the back to you from me. BobP CFI Helicopter.

[@Ronaldl2350]

The toy copter. "It's gone up in the tree". Head smack. Lol! Great video Jimmy. I really enjoyed seeing in detail what it takes to fly a real helicopter.

[@richardlawrencesmith]

I remember when I got my hands of a helicopter for the first time, it was Tarmac's A109 Mk2. The Pilot, Derek, was an ex Royal Navy Helicopter Pilot and Instructor on Wessex Helicopters. I was doing the exact same thing with the controls, over compensation. In the trip around the circuit I was fine, in the hover, that was a different matter. I was using the with of the runway, Derek said, "Don't worry, in the Navy I've seen pilots use the whole length of the runway trying to hover". He told me a wonderful story about his instructing in the Nave on Wessex. The Wessex was/is a powerful machine, he was with a student, when the student lifted into the hover, Derek pulled an engine when the student was not looking; no reaction from the trainee. Derek and the student flow the sorty and when they landed Derek said to the Student " Do you want me to turn this off, you obviously don't want to use it". Derek said the student felt a right "Donky", especially when the rest of the squadron found out about it. That a good " I learned to fly from that", don't let your brain tell your eye what they are looking at.

[@Conn653]

Well Jimmy, you went from barely sitting up, crawling, to actually taking a few baby steps. Great Job ! Love it ! 🙂

[@Maverickib]

Hovering was a constant battle for me until I hit 20 hours or so. Not that I was bad at it, but it took a ton of focus and active trying the entire time before that. When flying helicopters, everyone has the same experience: You fight the controls for a bunch of hours and then at some point, it just "clicks*. Like your brain finally creates the nueral pathways required to fly overnight. I went from standard fighting the bird (Robinson R22) around the 20 hour point and then went to fly the next day and suddenly felt like a hovering master. It quite literally happened overnight. It wasn't until after I talked to my CFI about it when he told me yep, that's how it goes, and that's around the normal amount of seat time it takes to happen. So even if it feels discouraging at times, like maybe you aren't getting the hang of it, just stick with it. It'll click at some point and you'll become one with the machine.

I used to own an helicopter rebuild shop. Then one day my pilot didn't show up to do a test flight, so it was up to the mechanics and myself to do it. Having never flown a helicopter myself, it was quite a hair raising experience, I will never forget it.😂

[@majorrimaha4437]

The dreaded "dead mans grip" I remember it well back in 1996 when i first learned to fly helicopters, and yes in a similar helicopter, a H269b ( H300 ). I went on to do150 hours for a commercial license, in that same aircraft. Well done jimmy, aweome job in 45 minutes flying, now im looking forward to seeing your first auto-rotation. That's definitely gonna be a popcorn 🍿 moment, for sure 😂

[@LenserX]

I found the real deal much easier than the RC version specifically because when you're sitting in the aircraft you have positional and directional reference. With RCs it's all over the place depending on which way it's pointed. Also the feedback you get from the controls is a BIG help.

[@fudogwhisperer3590]

Its because your input seems delayed in a heli. Cyclic is like balancing a marble in the middle of a plate. It rolls one way and you tilt to correct, but the marble (heli) still needs to slow and stop from the preveous input before rolling to your current input.

[@rogerb4436]

I'm not a pilot due to health reasons but love aviation and heard these are hard to fly due to NOT having a governor and also read that helicopters are safer to fly because if engine stops you can almost land anywhere and don't need runway space to land like a plane that needs road, field etc.

[@petrokemikal]

The model heli has that big black flybar or stabilizing weight over the blades, most pro rc helis dont have that and are called flybarless, much more realistic because essentially the flybar has weights on the ends which act like a gyroscopic stabiliser, The heli equivelant to a kids bike with stabilisers..lol

I can tell you this after long experience; A really skilled R/C Heli pilot can fly the a real helicopter in an extraordinarily short period of time (15 - 30 minutes), I have not found the reverse to be true at all. It will generally take them longer to learn the starting procedure than it will take them to get the hover down to within a 2 metre circle.
