Thankyou , I'm glad it was useful! Good luck with your training.

Suction cup mount to the roof window with a GoPro supplemented by a cameraman in the back too with a shoulder-mounted system.

Great, just stick with it, relax and it will suddenly all make sense when you least expect it!

Pad 3!

Always!

There is another video on Pick-ups and Set-downs , which addresses that and should help you!

@@Anthelionhelicopters Thanx for the reply, I'll probably never get to try it but I'll check it out just for fun!

Thank you! Glad you liked it 🚁👍

Hi, thank you so much., that means a lot. Where did you start your training?

@@Anthelionhelicopters In Ormond Beach, Florida. I watch your videos over and over again with a pure attention, it helped a lot when I’m flying. If I was in West Coast I’d definitely choose your school.

Fantastic, glad it was helpful 🚁🚁

Thankyou for the kind words and I’m so glad you found someone who teaches as you need. Where are you learning now and how far along are you?

@Anthelionhelicopters preparing for my ppl check ride, I've got butterflies but I'm told this is quite normal

@@leilanurena yes it is, sure you’ll do great, just make sure you keep calm and breathe so you remain relaxed on the controls. You’ll be able to think more clearly and make smoother more calculated actions and reactions.

Thank you 🙏

No depends on the instructor

Thanks for the feedback, glad you found it useful.

That's why good, comprehensive, and thorough training is important.

I believe we use a splitter from the headset jack that feeds directly into the go pro and mixer.

Just my way of presenting, I find it useful when illustrating certain points.

Thanks

thanks, much appreciated

Thankyou 🙏

Glad you enjoy it! Hope your flying journey is going well

I was able to hover at a flight time of 2h15 with the help of your content and once I figure out that the commands are managing a mechanical point where we are "hanging off" the main rotor and that the cabin is in a constant pendulum motion with that point (rotor)👌

Fantastic, glad to hear it@@SamuelTrepanier

Glad you enjoyed it, stick with it and it will all suddenly make sense!

Great work, there nothing quite like the mental intensity it takes to begin with. As I think I alluded to in the video, I bet you were trying ‘too hard’ to hover the second time and overly focusing on it. If you try to distract your mind just a little and let your sub-conscious take over, you’ll find it will instinctively react faster that your conscious mind can, probably cause you to relax a bit and voila, you’ll be hovering again! Where did you just do your first flight?

@@Anthelionhelicopters sorry for the late reply. The flight was at Clow airport in Bolingbrook, Illinois, United States. I went back for my second lesson last week, which was the first week of March, 2024. This time I managed to hover with all three controls in about 10 minutes. You are spot on with your analysis about concentrating too hard. If you’re thinking about it, you’re behind the aircraft. There’s no time to think, you just have to do. The instructor was on with me for my takeoff and as soon as we reached 65 kn and 1000 feet AGL he let me fly by myself. Before taking off we plotted a heading to take me in the general direction of my house. As soon as I saw the nearby water tower, I picked my landmark and flew the rest visually. I flew around my neighborhood twice and my coordination was surprisingly good. I then flew the reverse heading back to the airport and flew a couple patterns down to about 100 feet AGL before the instructor took over again for landing. I now I have 2.3 hours and my instructor claims that I’m doing as well as past students that had 10 to 15 hours of flight time. I may have a little talent, but I know he’s an outstanding instructor and that can make all the difference in the world. I’m going to start treatment for cancer next month so I’ll have to put flying on hold for a while but I’m going to try and get one more lesson in beforehand. You have a great channel! I know putting together these videos takes a lot of work and I just want to say thank you.

Thanks for the feedback, it does sound like you are doing a fantastic job. I hope all goes well with your treatment and you're back up in the air soon.@@spitfirekid1

Thank you, you too 🚁🚁🚁

Thankyou, where are you studying?

All helicopters are designed with tolerance design limits. To get mechanical and structural fatigue you would have to be purposely operating outside of the performance limitations of the aircraft. What we are doing here is well within the normal operating range of the aircraft and does not place undue stress on any components.

@@Anthelionhelicopters thanks for the response!!

Wow, thanks! Good luck with your training

Glad you liked it!

Thanks, yes we have a lot more to do more of the time!

Greetings to you too!

The majority of learning when starting out is derived from the ‘feel’ of the aircraft through the various controls and learning to apply theory and instinct to successfully manipulate them. While simulators can provide some value in giving insight into what the controls do and how they interact with each other, ultimately new students need to spend far more time in the actual aircraft. That’s not to say that there is not value but I would be cautious about saying they save money. Perhaps in instrument ratings they could give you a good step up but for new pilots doing their private license they have limited value for the most part.

Thanks, we’ll be getting back in the seat with them very soon!

Thank you! Good luck with your training

I think it’s a great idea! We have a lot of students far older than that who enjoy great success. The only recommendation I would have is go and get an aviation medical prior to training to make sure you can successfully acquire at least a 3rd class medical. Examiners can be found in your area on the FAA website.

@@Anthelionhelicopters thanks for the response sir 👍🏼

Yep 2 bladed systems are very distinct. Pretty fun listening to the difference between the 44 and 66 from a distance and seeing how soon you can spot the difference between the turbine vs piston engine!

Thanks, glad you found it helpful!

Yes, on the majority of helicopters the inherent mechanical friction on the collective keeps it from moving. Other than that there is a manual friction that can be actuated when needed to maintain position. In fact only the R22, in my experience actually requires it’s friction to be added to maintain position as it’s basic mechanical friction is not enough usually and it tends to sink without your hand there. Hope that helps

@@Anthelionhelicopters Thank you very much for the clear explanation. Safe flying.

Glad it was helpful!

Just over 5000 (the instructor!) The student is probably 10-15 at this point.

Thanks Tom, agreed learning the why behind the what has always been my philosophy in teaching to provide a far deeper level of understanding and appreciation. It will stand you in very good stead moving forward in your career and journey. Best of luck!

Glad you enjoyed it, where are you flight training up in Canada?

Thank you 🙏
