KMAX Blue Mountains (Skywork Helicopters)

Heres a video edit of a lifting job Skywork Helicopters did in the Blue Mountains in NSW Australia,
We were helping to construct a new railway platform for the scenic railway at scenic world, we were working alongside HLS (Helicopter Lifting Services).
This is a low quality version of the video to put online,
The video is nothing special just a clip to combine all of the footage we had.
It was a good couple of days working with a good group of people.
Most of the shots were filmed by GOPRO Hero2 and Hero3.
Hope you enjoy it.

The genius of Charlie Kaman, the designer of the earlier version of it, the Husky and its later incarnation, the K-Max

I can't wait to get in one of these. I seen one in person for the first time today on my way back to land. I didn't get to see it up close, but I heard it's working in the area of my home base. My favorite helicopter.

I worked on this helio in Connecticut. Built the blades. It's hard to believe the core of the blade is made out bonded wood .

Beautiful Country, Fantastic Aircraft, Great Work!

[@yaboosnubs]

No other rotor configuration can be this stable in hover

[@aorakiboydog]

That’s a long way from Marines in Ardmore . Immaculate machine ( to be expected from Skywork) .

[@kresno999]

Well done!

[@thai2day]

Awesome...

[@tomthompson7400]

spectacular.

[@Stubby0266]

Awesome

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

Wow that guy has the magic touch. Way to thread the needle.

[@MarkT]

Nice use of a long guide wire. Attached on level above I expect!

[@Jimmypraat]

mean camera work!

[@kojack635]

I just got my private pilot helicopter license this summer, Idk how the fck you do this kind of flying lol. Awesome video

[@dustyroads834]

Love it but had to mute the noise. Whats wrong with turbine and rotor noise ?

[@HeliPadUSA]

Very cool video and great music choice!

[@user-gt9ue6oh2w]

Now I know why it's so strange cockpit。

[@daveogarf]

Music's a bit loud and obnoxious. Great footage otherwise.

[@Baribrotzer]

Very much agreed. The loud electronic disco is one thing - I can tolerate that, though I don't like it much - but that kazoo-up-his-nose vocal effect, and the overloaded hashing digital preamps are intolerable.

[@Collateralcoffee]

480p. Really??

[@funshootin1]

someone familiar please explain why and how. . it's seems so simple, no swash plate but instead are those flaps on the blades. it's very interesting

[@Milosz_Ostrow]

They're called "servo flaps". By changing the angle of the relatively small servo flaps, the path of the main rotor blades can be steered, much like an airplane pitch angle can be adjusted by the elevator at the tail. You can read a detailed explanation of their history and how they work at www.helis.com/howflies/servo.php.

[@stalinsmyth8370]

What's the life span of those rotor blades?

[@ik04]

Anyone need a 10,00 hour helicopter pilot with 30 years of slingload experience? I sure would like to fly one of these....

[@lucywucyyy]

glitch mob, nice

[@panicoenduro]

silly question.. how many hours need a pilot to jump at the controls of this machine ??
