Hey Mike. The fact that you're confident enough to fly over that kind of terrain, land where you did, shut it down, restart, and fly back is great! I have a JetExec and it would be nice if I had the courage to do the same. I have watched many, many, many JetExec videos and I think you're the winner in my opinion. The photo you took of the ship on the rock is one of the best I've seen. Blow that photo up and put it on a wall as a work of art. You should post the video to ROG JetExec section.
Thanks Corde, I'm not going to lie, once I shut down and climbed up to take that picture I thought to myself, this would be a bad time to have a starting issue!
Cool video!! I just came to to see who would comment on how bad the music was...it did not disappoint, hahaha. I've certainly heard worse! Thanks for posting 👌😎
The hate for the sound track is pretty epic, hahaha… I decided to leave it out on my other posting where I landed on the island helipad. Thanks for stopping by!
I fell in love with the turbine RW when it flew in during a fly in. totally different beast. Beautiful footage ! Nice photos !! I would love to print up a few large format for the hanger.
Gee, just what I wanted - some annoying background music. That's why we watch helicopter videos - not for the wonderful sound of the rotor and the engine, but for the music. Thank you so much.
Truly awesome man. I have this little thing in flight sim; I could only wish flight sim had anywhere near this level of detail. By the way, what's with the twitching rotor indicator? Is that a bad sensor or?
The sensor is set to pick-up 4 sets of magnets in the rotor shaft. The magnets work well for the backup steam gauge (which you can't see in the video) but the MGL unit was getting confused because of reversed polarities in the magnets. I fixed this issue shortly after.
Nice scenery but looking at your PFD, why is your engine gauge jumping the way it is??? That would be a major snag on my list to be fixed before the next flight, IMO...
Good catch.. yes, I had an issue with the magnet pickups and the MGL unit. I have a secondary steam gauge that was my primary for rpm… it was fixed shortly after this flight
One more question Mike, How tall are you? How much room is left between the headset band and the cabin roof? I am 6' and considering buying a Turbo Talon and wondering if I will fit without lowering the seat pan, if that is even possible??
I’m 5-10, there are cushions inserts that go under your butt that can adjust your height. I had a couple in..At 6’ you will be fine…. Go to a flyin and people will be happy to let you climb in and most will take you for a ride.
@@mikemclark Haha. Thanks so much! You have comments turned off on that new video, why is that? Is that the San Juan Islands? I noticed the solar array up there as well. What an amazing location! Great spot to live after the coming apocalypse!
I know, it was the first time using the headset mics that go into the goPro, you don't get any outside noise (like the turbine) unless the mic is activated through the headset... .I'm sure there is a way but I haven't played around enough yet.
The conversions were sold as kits, I believe around 110 kits were made and sold, of which I got one of them, but the guy that sold them is no making them anymore.
@@mikemclark Ahh it must get quite annoying. I find force trim helps so much when flying precisely, especially test conditions and when you're having to fiddle with the radio. But seriously nice bird! I'd love to own a jetexec like that.
I don't know much about the piston version but I believe the range is nearly the same, I get about 2h20min on a full tank but this would depend on a few variables. As for performance, this is also hard to say because I don't know much about the piston in real-world situations. I also haven't tested the limits of the turbine but with just me on board I can confirm I have a tremendous amount of available power.
That was beautiful scenery and a really nice video but could do without the background noise some call music.
Must have been a stone age helicopter land-pad

@@mikemclark That was a wise thought to have. Maybe next time just bring down to idle and let rotor stop, don't shut it down completely.
@@cordesmith656 meh, exit a helicopter with a running engine?
@@codmott286 light years ahead of our old 152.............
@@mikemclark thought the same thing when i saw the power off.. no food or shelter supplies...

@@mikemclark thank you for that. Else perfect!
Amazing! Went up there a few winters ago looks a lot different with snow.
Amazing photo shoot! Your also a great pilot! I can't wait to get my helicopter.
Your living my dream
Absolutely amazing scenery and pinnacle landing. Way to go Mike!
Beautiful video, shitty music screws all the impression.
I Don't Believe what I Just Watched. I drank a glass of wine and I went into a Deep Dream.
I fell in love with the turbine RW when it flew in during a fly in. totally different beast. Beautiful footage ! Nice photos !! I would love to print up a few large format for the hanger.
Send me your email and I’ll send you a few shots
Just watch that. Greetings from the other side of Canada :) Nice place you have.
Great video without the most annoying music on the planet.
Awesome pics on the rock
Gee, just what I wanted - some annoying background music. That's why we watch helicopter videos - not for the wonderful sound of the rotor and the engine, but for the music. Thank you so much.
Great view and nice flying
very cool
Beautiful helicopter and footage. Fixed wing guy, looking at converting.
Do it!
Great vid, good production, but jesus that music made me mute audio.
Beautiful still shots.
All I can say is WOW ???Mike wish I was there.
I would bring a tent and spend a night or two.
Greetings from Ontario. That was a BOSS landing. I want one. Sell me yours!
Great flight
Avoid overcontrolling the cyclic

Yea, get rid of the very offensive sound track. Just the sound of the machine. Repeat: sound track is horrid.
Yes please! Reload without the crazy offensive music!
Thats amazing

turn the music off
Amazing video but ditch the horrible background music and give us the engine and wind noise!
I know I know... here is another one, ua-cam.com/video/xM_dRHLl_ls/v-deo.html
@@mikemclark Haha. Thanks so much! You have comments turned off on that new video, why is that? Is that the San Juan Islands? I noticed the solar array up there as well. What an amazing location! Great spot to live after the coming apocalypse!
@@UltimateAnarchy I didn’t notice that the comments were turned off… I believe that is fixed now. Thanks for the heads up
this reminds me of the movie oblivion when tom cruises character would go fly to his happy place.
Great video!
Does a rotorway really take that much constant stick input?
@@mpschaefer1 no, I was just nervous as f*ck… and a new pilot, less than 100hrs
Where is this at? Absolutely beautiful!
Widgeon Lake, British Columbia, Canada
Awesome = is your JetExec your build?
It's a kit that was offered/sold a while back but is no longer available.
Shame the so called music has to distract
I know, it was the first time using the headset mics that go into the goPro, you don't get any outside noise (like the turbine) unless the mic is activated through the headset... .I'm sure there is a way but I haven't played around enough yet.
@@mikemclark Awesome Mike.....hope ya can.....it's a beautiful ship......would love to hear her.
Great video, I the sound track, I bet the old folks never like it, what’s the name of the song?
And you would do an auto to where??
Into heaven of course!
Beautiful vid ruined by an annoyinghorrible sound track
Awesome
That is a nice looking bird, Bud. Who did the turbine conversion?
The conversions were sold as kits, I believe around 110 kits were made and sold, of which I got one of them, but the guy that sold them is no making them anymore.
What kind of fuel burn do you see? Also with the turbine did you upgrade to a bigger fuel tank?
16 Gallons/hr... 40 Gallon Tank. It’s a completely different drive train and fuel tank compared to the piston version
Dam, I would have tried to turn the airframe with my PAX, before take off.
Mike, what's the name of your video music, where can I access it? Great video, awesome lol chopoer
It was just one of the tracks in the editing program I used (InShot)
see you - ikson
lol at min 2:26 buddy let’s go of the cyclic in a hover brutal
the flying was amazing. but i would rather listen to the aircraft than the chipmonks singing.
Is there no force trim? Looks like you need to use it a bit more :)
No there is not, some guys have installed a horizontal stabilizer trim kit but they are rare on the rotorway.
@@mikemclark Ahh it must get quite annoying. I find force trim helps so much when flying precisely, especially test conditions and when you're having to fiddle with the radio.
But seriously nice bird! I'd love to own a jetexec like that.
What kind of altitude was that? Great vid!
3200 feet
What's the difference in range and performance between the turbine and piston?
I don't know much about the piston version but I believe the range is nearly the same, I get about 2h20min on a full tank but this would depend on a few variables. As for performance, this is also hard to say because I don't know much about the piston in real-world situations. I also haven't tested the limits of the turbine but with just me on board I can confirm I have a tremendous amount of available power.
@@mikemclark thx.
surprisingly they're the same because of all the bulk/weight reduction using a simple turbine they free up room for a huge 50 gal fuel tank.
Great video minus the weeb 'music'.....
Looking to purchase a used Rotorway, Do you know of any? Thanks Gregg
Global plane search has a few forsale
@@krismaitland7885 Thank You Very Much!
The “music “ ruins this video!
Thanks for the feedback… check out my “island helipad landing’… no music on that one! ua-cam.com/video/xM_dRHLl_ls/v-deo.html
Horrible music
that music is sooooo annoying! sounds like the chipmunks.
