This is a huge lesson for me. So many times I've "fallen through", as you say, and didn't understand why (the physics involved).
Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together. You're providing a great service for the community, Casmo. Much appreciated.
Thank you for making this lesson for us CasmoTV.
More like this please Casmo, excellent teaching.
Been a WWII flight sim person for a long time, but recently got DCS and the Huey. I practiced slow speed flight, transitioning in and out of hovers, but my landings still stunk: falling through, completely missing the mark, etc, etc. I understood all the theory, but my execution was unsatisfactory.
Your video around 7:20 gave me the aha moment: seeing your descent airspeed... Once I mimiced getting slower earlier, it feels MUCH more natural! Nose to control speed, collective to control descent. Thanks!
Glad it helped.
Thank you for this and the previous landing video, @CasmoTV. Because of this, I can finally land the Apache consistently with just a basic CH stick with the slider-throttle acting as the collective. This clicked and gave me a nice "torque picture" of the airframe.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Looking forward to a proper collective.
Yes, but what about your 3Gs and Toppa Tees? How many owas is your fuel good for?
Well I learned from Firebirds that preflight is for chumps; all that stuff sounds like work!
@@CasmoTV not once did you yell "I AM THE GREATEST." Are you even a real pilot, bro?
I save that for my live streams with you. Speaking of which... let’s get after it!
Are you clear, clear, clear? :D
@@CWLemoine Real men don't need wings, they just beat the air into submission.
This helped a lot, and this is from someone that spends considerable amount of time in helicopters, just not the guy holding the controls...
This is the sexy stuff right here. Better than Only Fans. Plus we got to see what you were talking about in the last video within the sim. Keep up the great work.
This video helped me understand so much, just picked up the hind and was having a weird issue where i took off, got to about 50 feet or so, fell through, got under 50 feet, rose back up etc. I understand now that that was ground effect kicking in
I started to figure out that rotor decel technique through trial and error this morning however this video really puts it all into context! Cheers
I fly a Huey fairly good but will never stop watching how it is rightly done. Flying sling loads is a different story tough. LOL
That’s one thing I haven’t gotten into yet.
@@CasmoTV I know, it was meant as a hidden tip LOL.
@@TomReidarGrndahl The one thing that's even more harder than IRL because you lack a butt meter...
Fantastic video. Very helpful, I’m doing exactly what you’re not supposed to do. Thanks for the info!!
Excellent explanation
Thank you very much!
Thank you, looking forward to more videos.
This really helped me get my take offs and landings under control. Many Thanks to Casmo!
Glad it helped!
Outstanding series of videos. I really appreciate your excellent work. ✔👏
Glad to see I'm not doing too much wrong haha
Super useful, Thanks!
Charlie would love to see you coming in to land like that!
Jk. Since I've been watching you flying so smoothly, I try to do the same and really have improved my non crash landings.
Flew with Brad M the other night. Didn’t know you guys knew each other. Good stuff!
He’s in the discord!
Nice tut. Those poor poor skids tho ;-).... reminding me of the Galaxy Quest scene where he screeches the ship into the dock for a hot minute.
I landed like that once in AFG when I lost my hydraulics one night. Thought my tail rotor was having issues too so I stated above 40knots the whole way. Left quite a mark on that UAS strip.
@@CasmoTV ooof.. possible tail rotor loss I can imagine you'd wanna keep that speed. Suppose most people get a plaque/badge to leave behind, or maybe graffiti in the bogs, but you went with leaving your mark front & centre on the strip ;-)
Guy: "Do you guys actually WATCH the show?!"
I think the hardest thing my brain tries to comprehend is increasing collective but still descending lol.
I didn’t know where to ask you personally but I’ve been Army Infantry for almost 7 years now and am about to drop my flight packet after this PCS. What made it easier for you to try and remember all your daily questions in common core so you didn’t get an unsatisfactory or dropped during the process? Thanks in advance.
3:52 this is what you are not supposed to do.... proceeds to butter the bread and touch down with zero issue.
Like a boss.
After watching this video today, I was able to land the Huey for the first time.
I need a video like this but for the f-18 😅 just started flying it and my landings suck
Lightbulb moment!!! - Throttle is always 100%. Until now my collective and throttle have been modulated together. Not quite sure why that is or if its correct?
Off topic- I’ve perused your videos here and there and your last two are the first I’ve seen your face. I was surprised to see you weren’t a fresh faced 21 year old. Must be that clean living.
It’s a lot of things but clean living ain’t it. 42 years young.
@@CasmoTV Ha! We’re the same age and I look like I’m 25 if you squint your eyes.
41 here. I feel your pain all too well. I miss the days when I got carded for alcohol.
@@CasmoTV Sorry I forgot if you were/are a commissioned or warrant officer aviator. I think its pretty sad officers need a degree in uSA -- not here. So a 21 year old, it wluld be very hard to have their wings?
Hey Casmo, thanks for your great helicopter content!
Would you be able to recommend some joysticks that you feel are good with helicopter sims/games?
Thanks.
Less about the joystick but more about the extension. Makes life a lot easier.
Why are you disabling force trim? I have seen you make a point of that a couple times, but I can't figure out why.
We typically don’t use force trim unless holding a set course. In the kiowa we basically only used it for keeping the rotor stable on the ground. In flight it’s just one more thing trying to control you.
@CasmoTV >>> 👍👍
Great tutorial! What airfield is that?
Honestly I can’t recall lol. I’ll have to look.
Great video Casmo. Is that the same case with the Apache ?. Because I saw that the right site tape on the ihadss which represent the collective position, the arrow is in the middle position of the tape and the Apache still moving forward !.
There is no collective position displayed in the Apache.
i would like to see your axis settings :)
I’ll throw them up some time. I don’t really do too much to most of them.
Can I suggest a link to the previous video you are recommending
Noted
Please forgive my ignorance as I am a complete newbie when flying rotary aircraft (usually drive Tomcats), but what is the best way to slow down ones air frame when coming in to land? I always struggle at slowing down my airframe and from stopping it from gaining speed. Also keep these videos coming they are a great help. Thanks.
Just have to manage your power and nose pitch.
Thanks
Thanks again, worked at managing my nose pitch and power better and it has smoothed out everything nicely. Can't wait to see you do videos with the Apache.
When you described "more power now" during landing. Did you mean by pulling up the collective?
Yes
I could barely hover and take off the but still having a tough time in landing, specifically below 30-35 knots (ground effect) I used the throttle as collective in my j/s.@@CasmoTV
Great Video, looking forward to learn how to fly helicopters soon. Still waiting for rudder pedals :(
MFG Crosswind? :)
