    Finally, someone who really knows how to explain how a helicopter works in more of a "clear" and "technical" manner at the same time. To me, it is essential that a student knows and understands that the collective increases or decreases the power due to the "pitch" or "angle" of blades along with +/- rpm.....rather than just talking about "POWER". Many instructor's only say "power". I give you an A+ for this. I have been flying since 1969 and feel that I am qualified to give you a high grade!

    Best. Instructional. Video. Ever!!! 2k hour Robbie pilot here, I now do mainly crop dusting in a 44. Occasionally I still occasionally do some training and this will definitely be a useful tool in helping students understand flight control operation! I have found this video to be exceptionally descriptive of all of the functions of the controls. I struggled during most of my initial flight training to understand gyroscopic precession, that would be the only thing I would add to this video. Great job!!

    This video, along with the instructor’s professionalism, provided critical information that is essential for aspiring helicopter pilots. The terminology used was highly professional, and the key takeaways shared during the explanation were invaluable for anyone flying helicopters. The CFI did an excellent job of breaking things down, and their teaching deserves to be praised. Beginner pilots, including myself, truly appreciated the insights and guidance provided on our journey to becoming helicopter pilots. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise and experiences in such a clear and impactful way. Your input has made a difference!

    I have used the same terminology for the collective as the "up & down" stick, but call the cyclic the "whoa/go" stick. Push it forward and you go, pull it back and you whoa (stop). Of course push it in any direction and that's where you're headed. I think it's kind of a catchy term. Nice video explaining the controls.

      Very detailed and easy to follow. He was better and more thorough than some of my instructors at the air craft mechanic school that I went to. We just touched on the basics of helicopter flight. We were more into the mechanics of things. Jet engine, propeller engines, electronics, hydraulics, wire and tubing routing, airframe repair etc. Great video. I would feel very safe flying with this gentleman, even if if it was my 1st time to take the controls. Thank you for sharing. God bless.

I see now that you're not really increasing RPM, you're just adding more power to compensate for the increase in lift created by changing the pitch of the blades. The more you know!

    7:52 I literally just fully understood the function of the tail rotor. It has always eluded me until now. The main blades, rotating clockwise, produce a counter clockwise torque on the assembly. [I may be backwards CW/CWW] The tail rotor applies horizontal force opposite that of the main blades which stabilizes the aircraft. It makes a lot more sense now, I always just accepted the entire premise without understanding how it actually works.

      I flew a fixed-wing for over 40 years and I've been up a couple of times in a heli, I even had the opportunity to learn to fly one, but didn't follow up. It's a bit late now, since I moved to a small town with no flight schools, and I have other priorities now. I have acrophobia, which is why I learned to fly in the first place, and it did help, (and I loved the freedom I felt up there) but sitting in that clear bubble of the chopper seeing what was right below my feet didn't do a lot for my confidence! But I've always loved what the helicopter can do, hover, the way it flies and can go anywhere, etc.!

      "Heli Train. Vids" -- My father was a physician, and recognized my fear of heights very young (age 4 or 5), he LOVED hiking and standing on top of a cliff and looking all around, and tried to get me to come to him -- I'd crawl out to him and climb up his leg and hang on tight -- I never really got over my acrophobia but flying helped a lot, as long as I had a motor attached. I flew in a glider once, and was a bit uncomfortable. I used to fly jumpers up, and I tandem-jumped with an instructor with a parachute and that scared me too. But it was thrilling (after the chute opened) but I never could understand why anyone would want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! I bungee-jumped off a bridge a few years ago, and I can't say I even liked that! I was a bit of a thrill-seeker, loved white-water rafting, etc. but I've always loved the water, diving, etc. but NOT heights! I often dived off Monterey Bay in No.Calif, and just knowing the Monterey Trench was just off the shore scared me -- I wouldn't go out there! Silly, I know, since 7 feet of water can kill you just like 12,000 feet can, but your mind works on you! I'd go up in a helicopter any day of the week, maybe someday I'll even fly one, but there's little chance where I am now.

    (Cesna) At age 15 I was watching everything the pilot did as he flew me and my brother for a flight. After 15 minutes of watching him do rolls, turns and drops, he asked me if I wanted to fly it? He said he noticed me watching him and looking at the instruments. So I said yes! I mimicked everything he did in the air,, as well as drops, turns, rolls using the various controls and of course, keeping an eye on the instrument control panel and gauges. Then after we had been up there awhile. we were making our decent to the landing runway. He asked me if I wanted to land it? I said yes! Well after he had called in for our landing protocol, I began the decent to landing. Smooth landing no hop, just came in landed it, then he took over. He said he had never seen anyone understand so quickly and told me I needed to get my pilots license. At age eighteen I was asked to help my dad in building a experimental helicopter for Hillman Helicopters in 1979 (owner, Doug Hillman). I built the instrument control panel myself for this 1979 model. It was a direct drive model using 4130 chrome alloy tubes welded to German turn bearings. Straight alloy tubes replaced the cables and turn bearing replaced the pulleys. Essentially the mechanism and engineering is basically the same with a few exceptions. Hillman Helicopters was at Falcon field airport in Mesa, Arizona but later moved to Stellar airport, in Chandler Arizona for the 1979 direct drive model. White with blue and red bold stripes. It was an executive model.

    That's exactly what happened to me on my first day of training. When I had the controls my instructor instructed me to bank right and add power into the right turn, but I think I added too much collective too quickly, got nervous and surrendered the controls back to PIC. Plus I think my grip was too heavy on the collective.
