    Lovely control ... I'm a fixed wing man in UK and in 1975 after I'd got my PPL I enquired about rotary wing lessons. The fixed wing lessons were £16 ph back then and the rotary were £50 ph. I was offered a discount of 5 hours from the then 40 required minimum (now 45 I believe) to get the rotary wing licence as I had a fixed wing licence and had I the money I'd have done it ... but alas .. I didn't. Always regretted it.
    This bloke is an excellent pilot judging from what we see in the video.

      @@abdacnc3969 I just had a look: US$38,500 It's a kit helicopter, so you'd pay quite a bit more for one that's fully assembled. Also, I'm not at all sure that that includes the engine: gas turbines are fearfully expensive, so it wouldn't surprise me if that were the price a) for the (unassembled) kit and b) without the engine. Then, once you've got the thing up and running and you've paid for your (horrifically expensive) helicopter training, you've got the maintenance to worry about.

      Nope. ALL can easily or at least with a good teacher learn to fly as he does in 1-2 years. Nothing more, and it look so violent when he stop but it behave that way because it's lightweight, and this is also why you never see bigger Choppers do this, they CAN, but it's harder than this actually. But it take good knowledge about his Chopper. But trust me he had a good teacher. Impossible? NO, Impressive? YES

    The Helicycle was conceived and designed by B.J. Schramm (Buford John Schramm) , the founder of RotorWay International. B.J Schramm was killed in a Helicycle crash on 28.4.2004.
    His dream in life was that every American home should have a helicopter in their driveway. His first helicopter was the Scorpion.

    Stan's machine is exceptional and his flying skills are solid, especially considering that he is a fairly new heli pilot. If you want to see a real life emergency auto he did simply go to his channel and watch a 40 MPH run-on landing he did when the flame went out at 150 ft and 40 MPH forward speed. It was interesting to say the least.
