This reminds me of the first time Mischa had me try and hover. Oh boy! I think the 4 yr old did better than me haha!

Young fella looked like he was ready for a nap 😂

[@RCCopterLove]

Very nice idea and I love how encouraging you have been. Unbelievable how focused your 4 year old son Quinn was. He had a real tunnel look in his eyes and was almost not able to answer your question if he is ready! Really adorable. Great job on the first attempt! I am flying only RC helis and I remember how long it tool me until I was able to hover 4 minutes (1 battery) in fully manual 3D mode.

Thats with only 1/3 the controls. I had a pilot let me try this exact thing and it is NOT easy. I didnt get the tip about looking far off so I was focused on close things and I couldnt imagine with pedals and collective added in. He did let me fly on the way back to the airport (remote) and that was what actually started me down the rabbit hole of how helicopters worked and how I ended up finding this channel.

Your family will be great pilots. I’m glad your teaching what it takes to fly

[@AOL0321]

Great video. Just had a helicopter tour around NYC with one of your old students named Marcos? I believe. Great pilot and a great ride!

[@ThePilotsMindset]

So much love & fun in this great video, thank you for sharing!

[@nightcrawleroriginal]

Nice video PY, thats about how it went for myself converting from fixed wing to helicopters, frustrating at first then it just falls into place.😊

[@willonyaga]

pilot yellow the best helicopter teacher, just wish he can give me some lesson. flying is heavenly to hover is divine

[@agentpresta]

Great test! Amy did an excellent job! I could see the next test being who progresses the quickest after like 5-10 practice runs.

[@pilotpeego1820]

OMG! Best video ever!😅

[@geedubb2005]

Gosh those kiddos are growing. The sad part is I’m getting older too. Good job mom and dad.

[@malcolm4956]

🇬🇧That’s a fun day 😊🇬🇧

[@TamasLaszlo-83]

Hovering is the hardest part of the flying for me). That damned helicopter allways want to slip each directions 😅 For all that I loves every helicopters. A few week ago I tried to hover my friend's EC-120B. It was not so easy because of the moderate wind. But finally I learnd the "know how"🙂

[@thomasfriedmann8522]

Very nice. Glad to see everyone having a go at it.

[@mrsaskriders]

I really enjoyed the video that was great.

[@thee_oldman3799]

Guimbals alittle easier imo I would also give the other two first but great way to get family involved

[@earllandry5935]

Great video ❤🎉

[@Cadcare]

Cool.

[@Pe11ePD]

I was trying to hover in X-Plane and MSFS, any helicopter, with my VKB Gladiator NXT EVO stick, and I must admit it's bloody hard. Yes, it's easier when you have a cyclic control, but it's also easier in real life due to no latency, infinite resolution of controls, and the feel of g-forces.

[@marekkaniewski8789]

lol the door...entertaining vid thank you

[@Ro-ni7nm]

That was very very scary to even watch!

[@Ro-ni7nm]

Not as scary as the engine failure auto rotor vid down into creek bed, had me going all the way to the end and until i learned it was practice test i was so damn scared!1 haha keep it up pilotyellow

[@branchair]

So fun, my kids always made noises into the mic so they could hear themselves too. 😂

[@storytimedavidcollins2897]

I love this idea I started working at my dad’s full service gas station when I was four years old.

[@tk-pi2yf]

Fine

[@OneLiterPeter]

I guessed Amy.

[@spaight711]

That’s tricky with the feet too short for the pedals.

[@Goozales]

Next: Look my newborn flying a helicopter!

[@robappeldorn2162]

Wait, you're controlling the collective!

[@jrpark1]

I would love to be able to speak to you. I am probably the most rusty helicopter pilot ever. I used to fly a 206b3 42 years ago. I’ve recently done some R44 training to see if I can still do it. I think I’m doing ok. I have Bell 505 on order. Should receive it sometime in August/September. I would love to come fly with you before that. Do you have any interest? Jeff. Btw, I do have over 3k hours fixed wing. Mostly C510 single pilot.

[@heli.thatSTEVE]

@pilotyellow OK, Amy, Hudson and Quinn did better than me! LoL

[@jynnandtonnyx]

Me next ! Me next!

[@stevejones924]

Im going with Amy before I watch Video! Hey, you should pick up the guy whos always waving to your choppers flying over his house, and his dogs? Whats his story anyways??? The guy who had Hi ontop of his roof lol Are the kids SImulator approved first?

[@typeaboutit]

That was scary

[@abtechgroup]

"Honey you remember the rules"...... usually thats followed by a slap in the face

[@Mr.Unacceptable]

Did you fly over Squamish last week?

[@LeoH3L1]

How could he even reach the pedals?

[@glennwatson]

By the looks it just based on cyclic controls which is not uncommon for instructors to release different controls during hover training at different times.

[@AndreaJobPicanello]

Penso che sia una follia far toccare i comandi a qualcuno che non è abilitato a farlo, soprattutto così giovani e a una quota così bassa. Un bimbo in particolare potrebbe fare una mossa a sorpresa a cui non sei preparato e potresti non essere in grado di correggerlo in tempo. Ti ricordo cos'è successo al volo Aeroflot 593 del 23 marzo 1994 in cui il pilota ha invitato i propri figli in cabina e uno di loro, seduto ai comandi, ha disattivato involontariamente il pilota automatico. Sai benissimo com'è andata a finire...

[@Ronnie_B]

Plenty high enough for the pilot to recover from any eventuality. We all know what happened to the Aeroflot flight and why, completely irrelevant

[@markjones3425]

door open on 2nd try...over all not a smart thing to do
