Way to go Gary Great Job mate! Your second lift off was much smoother and you made nice smooth left pedal turns for your first solo. Congratulations and what an accomplishment to be in such a small number of pilots to be able to fly a rotorcraft!

[@Joelby81]

Awesome!!!! I have a trial instructional flight coming up in a few weeks.... at moorabbin, in the same type of heli.... who knows could be the same one. Cant wait

[@chopperwheels]

Congrat's Gary glad to see you left the sound in the background Working on it want to do mine next year 2

[@Jagcycle]

That's a slab! Congrats Gary.

[@edmartinelli]

Depends on the heli. For the Hughes (MD) / Schweitzer helicopter, the cyclic stick has a motor driven trim that will allow the cyclic to stay approximately in the same place with little pressure. Other helis, like the Robinson and Bell, require a little more control/pressure on the cyclic or they will somewhat return to neutral.

There is always a know all!!

@austins9597 Depends on the year, the hours left on the components, and whether or not it is a 300C or 300CB. Typically they cost from $100,000 to over $400,000.

[@anorton17]

nice one!! Im doing my PPL at PHS as we speak!!! i've only done 7 hours so far. I have a lesson at 10am tomoz. the weather looks alot nicer in your vid than it has been the last few weeks. by the way i loved the "knobcheese"call on that guy hahahaha

[@hekikuu]

Really sweet.. Wish I could do the same! Over the last few years I've been telling myself to have one lesson to try. I never get to do it because of all other things. Pretty expensive hobby!

[@Paulssx]
