Pretty cool that it a Cabri and that one comes with MSFS. Looked like I saw it before ever seeing it.
Kill the awful music for gods sake
You do know your door is open, Or did I miss something !?! Love the video .
why was your cabin door open tho? 😮
People will commonly have the door cracked in small aircraft to get air in especially when it's hot.
Great fun , I flew R22s a few times when I was younger , but it was too costly to keep up as a hobby . Much more fun than fixed wing though .
watched this while hijacking a Heli, really helped bro! the owner almost got me but the timing was right!! i really appreciate your effort in making this video for us, From Philippines!
Dont they have control towers for that??? What the hell happened? This is aviation, no stone left unturned
There are different flight rules depending on the type of flight. A plane can fly under visual flight rules (no ATC assist - common for student pilots). Or fly under Instrument Flight Rules (Flight plan and ATC guidance).
Really good video. Thank you for sharing.
"that was fokin dangerous" No shit brah
so cool can't wait to try it out
i want to learn, but nowhere anywhere nr me has a helicopter!
Why is there a string stuck to a piece of gum stuck to the windshield?
You look like kind of a dork. Just saying.
HHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, that's mean
Nice Poppy
Stop picking your nose..!!
Where can I get one
Thank you for this because I've been studying my books, ready for the test now and gonna get my flight hours in. You're great!
The visibility of this aircraft is insane!
The gas pedal is the one on the left or the right?
shut your door
“I could do this” :all of us
Id like a go...may I burrow your helli?
The fucking door is open
I think the ones who failed the tutorial didn't reply
Love this chopper. The gazelle is the first die cast model I ever had as a child. It was made by majorette. I like the view out the cockpit. Do panoramic. The exterior is also very pleasing to the eye, so aerodynamic thanks to it's teardrop or tadpole shape As a 10 year old kid then, the fenestron is a difficult word to pronounce and an even more alien engineering concept for me to grasp. A fun fact is that the "Blue Thunder" movie starring Roy Schieder was a highly modified Gazelle with rocket and missile pods. Manufactured by Aerospatiale, the Gazelle served with distinction during the Falklands war.
This was great. Thank you sir.
I think Amazon has these now. No, seriously!
Which helicoper is that?
Finally someone did the explanation right.
Haha thanks!
Wow never realized how easy it is to fly a helicopter
Greatest how to fly a helicopter video I’ve ever seen. 😎
Love it - i got a HUGE pooleys board and it knocks into everything
Get rid of the damn background music, and use a better microphone for narrating.
Really excellent instructor !!! Kudos.
Thanks. Where IS the power control ?
So it would seem that to do an unpowered descent (to auto rotate) I think it's called you would use the (collective?) push downward, and as you near the ground you would pull upward to slow the aircraft's descent to gently land?
Excelente Comandante. 👏
Doesn't tell you anything about flying a helicopter. Same as watching a video so you can fly the space shuttle. And yes, I have about 4k flying helicopters.
👍🙏👍🙏🙏👍🙏👍thank you👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏
What did you say you were wearing at 00:22 ?
A bop bee 😂
Thank you for the tutorial! Now I just need a helicopter
thanks for the basics this will.help me.understand it more for battlebit
First wind the rubber band real tight, then ..........
Very informative. I'm a lapsed PPLA with IMC rating. I'm also 66 years old this year. Am I too old to start learning to do this? You make it look straightforward but of course it's not at all.
This is awesome. I've always dreamed of flying a helicopter. ❤
holy shit man. that was right on the horizon. exact same altitude
sick
Good job. HCPL on JetRanger
Easy peasy 🚁😊👍🚁
Awesome always wanted to fly a Wirly bird 🥰👍🚁
