Holy cow. I was trying to find "Part 63" last night. I have binge watched every episode in the last two days. This build has been quite amazing to watch. Your CNC skills and lathe work are amazing.

[@1crazypj]

Quick tip. When you have threads die cut and want to make sure there are no stress risers, use a 2.5 or 3mm radius tool and put a round bottom groove in the bar/component where you want thread to end. Go to depth of thread or up to 0.05mm deeper You seem to be using standard metric threads so it's easy to look up online. I worked on motorcycles where component failure is only slightly less chance of being fatal (depending on component of course 😉)

[@johnanderson1818]

Man, I can't wait to see this bird fly! This is my longest series, that I've watched. I know that it's getting close to being finished! I'm stoked! 💯

[@mdu6]

Very courageous work - adding thrust bearings in the tail blade holders would have been a good idea IMHO

[@harryhartanto1499]

Sy terus mengikuti perkembangan pembuatan helicopter ini bro👍

With no delta hinge any flapping reactions on your tail rotor will damage the out put shaft.

[@AA-ke1ob]

It seems like there are a lot of professors teaching flight classes. Although it is true that the one who speaks the least is the one who does the most.

there can't be many people on this planet who can do what you have just done, bloody impressed.... what's next a space shuttle? 😂

[@jcmaosaobra2791]

You make everything look very simple, but that's because of your skills and professionalism. Parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho ,José Carlos Donato aqui do Brazil

[@osmacar5331]

you can make anything look simple if you pace, plan, and go forth methodically.

[@larbak666]

Muito legal. Parabéns!

[@truckerray7533]

Job well done👍🏻! Those guide pins from the pitch rotorhub plate, going thru the red guide plate. . . .look like they were bent a little bit & not fully straight!Thankyou for sharing. Looking forward to the tail rotor blades being built!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@expsgeorge]

24 hours or more to think about it and 25 minutes to show a part of it. Thanks!..

[@steynvanniekerk4544]

OOh! Just loooved this vid! My kinda food

[@burhanuddinalisayed5994]

Good job Thank you so much

[@muhammadaizaz2470]

wached all your videos in one day excited to see it flying

[@rockyrivermushrooms529]

youve been putting out a lot of videos recently. I bet you cant wait to get it done!

[@rchelicopterspace_0309]

Awesome ❤

[@turbolevo8703]

I’d like to see more fillet rads as per aerospace norms. Square corners internally are stress raisers. It doesn’t take long to grind a 2mm corner rad on an endmill.

[@lo2740]

i dont know if this guy is totally unaware, ot does it for views but not planning to fly it. If he makes this to fly it, then i wonder why not invest in the proper equipement and learn proper design and tooling technics first, most holes are very roughly drilled with hand drill, the "CNC" with rocking wood fixture, no registration or anything. Bolts and nut pretty much from the hardware store with loctite. Hard to believe.

[@1crazypj]

Didn't see your comment until now, I posted similar about a month ago which I guess OP has seen? Off-hand grinding end mills (or tools in general) isn't for everyone and could possibly make things worse is clearances are wrong leading to tearing of base material. (you wouldn't believe how many 'experienced' people I've known who don't understand clearance angles for cutting tools) I don't know about aerospace but I did train as a precision machinist in the mid 1970's and have seen stress cracks on/in various components over the years

[@bulenboncuk426]

arka palları yaptıktan sonra umarım uçuş testi yaparsınız kolay gelsin emeğine sağlık 👍

[@annechristiansen941]

Thank you very much for the video. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯

[@RuediScherer-ek8ef]

👍👍💪 very good work and good luck on your first flight 🙋‍♂

[@Sham-ou4ce]

По скорей хочу увидеть его прекрасный первый полет

[@hernansepulveda5558]

I congratulate you for your work, maybe some do not value it but you are doing something that you like, you are fulfilling your dream. Many people have already forgotten that it is a dream and how nice it feels when you achieve it, even if it doesn't matter to anyone.

[@kable698]

That is so beautiful. Great skills. I would love to fly it. You definitely have good patience to.

[@mrtulio29]

very good job!!

cant wait to see this thing flying

[@Rezqy620]

Woww amazing ❤❤❤❤

[@thieltech1]

Clean parts way better. Radius on all corners . Clean parts way better. Clean them again. Clean once more. Take the extra time to metal fininsh all your parts . And radius. Helps to make cracks visible if something does. Then clean your parts again. Be sure to wear a parachute in this beast

[@chippyjohn1]

I know you receive a lot of criticism, from myself included but you are doing well. Not to sound like a backwards compliment, but compared to what is considered cool or popular on the internet now, this is far better. As always be safe, and embrace being creative.

[@1crazypj]

Nice comment, I agree with the cool and popular having never been either 😁

[@user-fw4if7ig8k]

When I was a member of a club that built and flew some of the early Rotorway Scorpion Too helicopters,we did a lot of reverse engineering on them as we started flying them.We were despised by B J Schram and the company.We had insufficient power problems with the modified Evinrude V4 Vulcan engine. The rotor rpm gauge was reading about 5% too high leading to overloading of the main blades.Blowing air into the radiator (as opposed to sucking it thru) was solved by reversing the pitch on the fan blades.We also found to build and operate them,,a complete machine shop and dolly plus trailer should be obtained first

[@ultralighthelicopter]

Thanks for the information

[@bruceyoung1343]

Are all these parts in those plans with dimensions? Very lucky to have the tools AND knowledge to make them. I have the same plans buried deep in my computer somewhere. But I don’t have onepercent of what you have in the way of tools

[@bruceyoung1343]

Lol. Looking for another file I came across the Falcon plans in my computer

[@user-ul5nl7or8p]

در هر قسمت که میبینم این پرنده زیبا داره کامل تر میشه خوشحال می شویم. لحظه شماری میکنیم تا پرواز آن را ببینیم.👍

[@robsonrbj2907]

[@jnrotakatekmasok6506]

👍👍👍👍

[@maurosergiopossas9694]

Very good

[@jeremyrowley1240]

Suggest you thoroughly clean your parts and de-swarf them before final assembly in a cleaner environment. I was wincing watching you assemble the thing with so much visible swarf lying around and still on the parts.

[@saltbeltupstateny4857]

Your life depends on smooth, secure parts…clean, clean, clean!!!!!

[@nick138]

Everything on the on this aircraft including the tail rotor and main rotor should be safety wired, Do not rely on Nyloc nuts.

[@juancarloscasabuono6651]

I think that you missed the teetering pivot with the delta 3 angle...

[@MrBigdaddysdaddy]

One of those long pins is slightly bent.

나는 그부분에 스러스트 베어링 또는 테이퍼 베어링을 사용하는것이 옳을것같다고 생각합니다..

add some parachute bro. good job by the way for making it this far.

nice work, but to me that look it's a bit heavy forr the flight

[@MsJimmy74]

Hallo Gold Hand😊😊😊

[@ultralighthelicopter]

Hallo MsJimmy :-)

[@nohmisteed]

What do you do for living sir?

[@etapsiboookrsk24]

I think it's obvious. That a person lives at the expense of a well-equipped workshop and his hands, which grow from the right place of the body, and not from the ass like many. In the masses, such hands are called golden and for a person with such hands, it will not be difficult to find a livelihood. Which is confirmed by objective facts, because he not only lives, but also finds the time and means to build a helicopter. In principle, it is available to each of us. The main thing is never to sit still in idle idleness and follow a simple rule: "If you don't know what to do, take a step forward."

[@hernansepulveda5558]

You ask that man what he does for a living. I answer that he does what he likes, that's why he is alive and enjoys life.

[@mechniack]

Looked at this helicopter build . I wouldn't set my fot in that thing

[@jacquesswanepoel7632]

Can you do better? Sour grapes perhaps?

[@etapsiboookrsk24]

That's the difference between you and the author of this thing. You are sitting on the couch and do not know what to do with yourself, and we all, including you, are watching with interest as the author of the video builds a helicopter. Moreover, he does not build at random, but creates out of nothing quite a serious machine, of the factory production level.

[@ironclay3939]

Really WOW How Heavy are you?

[@chippyjohn1]

You don't have to sit in it. He acknowledges it is not a professional design and provides a disclaimer, and the content is far better than most of what is on youtube now. He's being creative and not harming anyone. Go watch some minecraft with the other children.

[@johnnelson8956]

I sure hope that you disassembled and cleaned that rotor head before final installation. I saw lots of metal shavings and debris inside the housing.

[@dentwatkins2193]

Scary, isn't it? That, and the amount of stress raisers remaining on machined or hand-finished components.

[@lo2740]

@@dentwatkins2193 yes, all this is beyond rhough, i remind me india and pakistan "mechanics". Flying this is certainly a pretty sure way to die fast, A good number of "african" home made helicopters are built to better standards.
