- Опубліковано 1 тра 2022
- In mid-April 2022 I am in TN and we are continuing with the owner's helicopter add on rating. This is a RW 162F with a turbo engine conversion and governor. It also has the custom electric clutch. We take you through a complete start process, departure and flight to M54. Where we do normal & crosswind departures and approaches, plus some straight in auto-rotations.
The helicopter world lost a lot when we lost you Mark. RIP.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mark and his son in Texas about a month before Oshkosh. I’m not a helicopter pilot but he treated me like one of the guys. Tragic loss🙏
My condolences
This helicopter was unfortunately in a mid air with a autogyro at the Oshkosh airshow this year, two people in this died. May they rest in peace 😢
I will have to assume the accident was caused by the autogyro as the pilot in the Rotorwas seems far too experienced to have caused the accident.....
omg THAT's who that was :(
@@dwightdodd3734that's a big assumption to make.
Anybody wondering it was the fault of the autogyro the accident rate lives on. RIP Mark.
The reflection in the glass at 11:40 gave me a mini heart attack
same jeeesus murphy.
Good to know I'm not the only one who screamed like a little girl! LOL
I thought for a second, that a glider was coming towards them!
Add another lol.
Meeee tooo 🤣
Nice, had me lowering the collective on my recliner 😂
Excellent! Thanks for showing the auto-rotations.
What a cool flight. Thank you.
I just learned about Mark's accident, and didn't realise it was the gyro/heli crash from Oshkosh. That's four UA-cam personalities I followed that died in aviation accidents. I'm involved in private aviation (or was, my last flight was a long time ago), and I don't know anyone who even had a crash or an incident. Except for a bloke I worked with who wrote off two gyros. I'm not sure where the lesson is in there, but I'm sure there is one. RIP Mark and Tom 🙏
Excellent video presentation
Looks like you did a good job.
I learn SO much from this video. Well done!
Me too. It would be cool to have another video like an Iindeded instructional one where there’s a close-up on the collective and the cyclic
I change my mind. Any helicopter that has an engine that sounds like a turbocharged Porsche 911, NEEDS top be flown.
😅 man you should don’t know how much I want to fly one and own one too. I have been saving for 8 months now and soon going to get my PPL.
@@dfaro8453 There is really no such thing as ppl for rotary aircraft. Everything that CPL , except IMC, rotary pilot knows a ppl rotary pilot needs to know. Plus be a better rotary pilot. It is far easier for CH-53 pilot to hold a hover then for R44 pilot giving joyride. A UH-60L/M is easy to autorotot on to the ground then into the ground . Autorotating Schweizer takes real skill and timing. Mishandle autorot in R44 and you will slash your tail boom, wreck the rotor hub, and will die in blaze of glory upon impact. Provided the witecut kit is installed in Bell 404 or Bell Twin, a wirestrike comes with hefty bill and a visit from FAA. A wirestrike in Robinson comes with caskets and fire engines.
@@dkoz8321 "There is really no such thing as ppl for rotary aircraft."
There heck there isn't. It's called a "ROTORCRAFT" rating. There are literally THOUSANDS of rotorcraft-only PPL holders in the U.S.
@@phillipzx3754 I was being facetious. Regarding skill levels.
My Father built the main frame Jig in Chandler AZ that they still use to build the frame today.
Bravo.thenks
Oops, I accidentally rutted up that grass runway years ago in the Blackhawk I was flying. It definitely didn't feel the way it looked afterwards. Sorry Lebanon. On another note, I am looking to get one of these fine looking helicopters. I'd like to do some autos too.
Nice.
Nice
Fantástico.
what you do not feel in the video is during the autos how fast you drop. It is startling.
🤙🏻
Is Rotorway/RoterX a safe Helicopter Now ?
regards to the turbo a6oo can this bird have a spotlight installed and a total price tag
Lebanon just outside of Nashville. I’m career Army Aviation, so I’m interested in outfitting this airframe with a spray boom system, to crop dust trees on my land.
I believe the company, RotorX in Chandler, AZ, has developed a spray system for the A600 Phoenix Turbo.
@@AirMark I’m going to go out there in next month or two to check them out. I have the brochure sales folder from 1990 on the Rotorway Exec that I used a part of a middle school science project on how a swash plate works, so I’m very familiar with this company/airframe.
The wind looked like it was blowing you around
Hey there. I am in smyrna and am looking at buying a turbo talon a600. I would love to ask a few questions. Like where can I go for a discovery flight? Where can I go to start the license process? What type of license is required?
Smyrna, TN or GA? Hello Derek google AirMark and you will find my email. Send me an email and I can provide you with an informational sheet and you can make arrangements with me for a demo flight in South Alabama in my Talon A600.
Smyrna tn. Will do thank you.
Like how much one of this helicopter?
This looks small and light enough to use a APU as its turbine powerplant.
Watch how the APU is mounted high and raises the c.g. in a not too good way. Look at the fuel consumption.
Some people do. Look up Jetexec. A shame they don't offer it in their kit as they do with their home brew engine.
@@stufields5125 A feature found in most helicopters, with main/antitorque rotor system. CG of such helicopters needs to be right below the hub, if not at center hub rotor disk. If it did, a cyclic deflection would send rotor disk into gyroscopic instability by altering center of lift and center of pressure.
@@dkoz8321 Also the lower the c.g. the better the roll over resistance. Simple physics. Also simple physics: the tail rotor should rotate in such a manner that the rising tail rotor blade climbs into the main rotor down wash. Note the Safari helicopter has been flown with the ballast wt in the solo position with two people on board. There was no calculation as to how far from center the CG was moved but quite a bit of displacement of the cyclic was required to hover.
@@stufields5125 there are lots of helicopters whose tail rotor rotates clockwise or counterclockwise
❤❤💘💘💕💕
He should establish his hover before he turns.
Awesome ! The most brave part is balancing an ipad at altitude on your knee with no doors hahaha
maybe there is a kneeboard type strap we can't see
Kneeboard with Velcro straps
No collective required for takeoff?
A normal takeoff procedure: Hover power is climb power. The collective and throttle remain constant until the cruise flight altitude is reached. This is true of all helicopters that are performing a "normal" takeoff.
@@AirMark so if ELT is all that is required to climb does that mean to descend you just reduce forward cyclic and she'll start to sink? If that happens how do you avoid landing?
@@ticenits1926 It is not all that simple. The controls inputs/responses will be different, depending on the flight parameter. For example, departure/climb, cruise and approach/descent. The FAA offers a handbook for Rotorcraft but if you really want to be a better helicopter pilot, use the book by W.J. Wagtendonk, "Principles of Helicopter Flight". This is my Helicopter Bible. Amazon has it, of course.
Is it just me or it doesn’t sound great there when it’s building revs.
Now he needs training on full power off and use skids landing
You should pull to McDonald’s in that thing
Just another Rich Man's Toy.
I refuse to fly in any helicoptet that I can move with only my hands. There is such a thing as too light of a helicopter.
What in the f*ck is an EgreSs window?
WOW a whirling blender of death held together with OH GOD bolts and aerodynamics of a brick... So ugly the ground repels it. Ha ha. I think a million dollar turbine helicopters are awesome. These little piston ones including the Robinson scare me. The recent spree of many R44's cutting off tail booms bothers me (and sad for loss of lives). Your aircraft should not be designed to dismantle itself mid flight. I know if flown within limitations.... yada yada yada. Seriously cool little helicopter just not for me.
We all have to fly what we can afford. Pretty impressive from a pilot with 7000 plus hours.
@@daleisatimpactms I have 14,000 hours most fixed wing, but what I said is what I said. My life is worth more. I don't think R22's or R44's are wholly unsafe, just not very forgiving.
@@gmcjetpilot If the engine quits and I'm not in gliding distance to an airport, I would much rather be in an ultra lite helicopter that can auto down to a zero fwd speed touch down. I'm licensed in both "Stuck Wings" and helicopter. I haven't flown a "Stuck Wing" in years. (I don't like the Rxxs either) I have hover taxied two helicopters that weighed less than 270#
@@stufields5125 Have you seen auto rotations gone wrong. RXXX? You mean Van's Aircraft series Rxxx RV4 RV6 RV7 RV8, RV10, etc. They stall at under 59 mph and land in 600 feet. You have all that delicious yummy structure, fuselage, roll cage, wings, gear to absorb impact. Whirlie Bird is like a lawn chair with gigantic blender just over your head... ha ha. I'm kidding. Choppers are cool, but for me it has to be at least a Hughes 300 or bigger turbine, Bell or Eurocopter. The tiny piston ones make me nervous. Ha ha.
@@gmcjetpilot The RXXXs I was meaning was the R22 and R44. Hughes 300 and up have parts prices, let alone initial acquisition costs. Ex: One seal for the sprag clutch for Bell 206 $470. Almost the same seal for a truck $15. The only difference was the material used in the Bell seal spec'd at 6,000 rpm while the truck seal material spec'd at 5,000 rpm. Yeah I've seen videos of autos gone wrong, but I've seen even more photos of "Stuck Wings" with an engine failure kill all passengers. 60mph crash into immovable objects??? I've got a video of a guy doing full down autos from every flight mode including one witnessed at Oshkosh from a hover about 12' in the air. He flew all over an it had a two stroke motor. Oh did I say I hangar-ed my helicopter in my shop and flew out of my yard.
loses pages - it won't fly :)
Who's bright idea was it to constantly distract the pilot at a crowded fly-in? It was probably going on in the gyro, too. Just BAD. Seriously brain-dead!
