That's when it's fun. I got a private license in 1983 in the Hughes 269. Then got to fly the same thing in primary training in U.S. Army flight school. They were TH-55, but the 269 Hughes. Most fun ever. Then transition to UH-1, and all the Army stuff. Most of us used our Army training at the end of flight school, to the commercial pilot test for rotor wing, and had instrument add on since we had all the Army's records. Still, nothing was the same as a simple Huges 269. Those were funny to fly. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you, brought back memories ❤

Back in the late '50's through early '60's, I watched a series called "Whirlybirds" religiously. I have always wanted to learn how to fly a helicopter. I wish that O could win the lottery, then I would purchase a helicycle and take flying lessons. I think it would be neat to park it at the home and fly to where ever ya needed to go and land the helicycle in the parking lot out of the way of vehicles, etc. Hope you upload some more vids of your flights 😀.

My helicycle flew GREAT. I enjoyed it Ver much until I sprained my ankle. The doctor put an ankle brace on it. Several weeks later I went to the airport to fly it. I got ready to take off. Carefully used my feet to neutralize the tail rotor and relaxed my foot muscles to take off. As I did that the ankle support, without me feeling it, moved through right tail rotator control pedal a tiny bit. As I lifted off, the copter suddenly went into a right, fast spin. It happened so quickly I had no time to realize what was causing it. Altitude, Air Speed And Hanger Door, coincided. Did not get hurt but I no longer had a HELICYCLE. WOW did ever miss it!!,

For all those wondering: You can get a Mosquito Ultralight Helicopter like this one factory built for literally 40,000$. You can also buy a kit to build one of these for only 30,000$ if that's more your thing. The cheapest one flies at like 70mph if I recall, they run off normal fuel (like diesel), and because they are "Ultralight" helicopters, as long as you don't fly above the clouds, over a dense city, or near an airport, you don't have to call in for clearance. You could legally use it to fly around your area as long as you don't live in the city. Also you don't need a license (but I would strongly recommend it lol)

+Nicholas Narverud This is a Helicycle, not a Mosquito. It's a full-classification turbine helicopter. You absolutely need a license, as their smallest model is *double* the Ultralight FAR103 weight limit at 500lbs. As far as the Mosquito helis, the only ones that are FAR103 legal are the Air (no canopy or surrounding panels) or the XEL which gets an extra 60 lbs to the limit from being amphibious (it has inflatable pontoons). The XET turbine model still requires a license.
@teknicalmusic1168 жыл бұрын
+DEAD_P1XL That's correct. The mosquito air does not require a license. One interesting possibility though, is to buy an air, get really good and then take the minimum hours for a rotary wing PPL and handily pass the flight test (since you actually have much more flight experience). The savings in rental hours would probably pay for the mosquito air and you have something to show for it. Of course, you need to prosecute your self education on the air with all the seriousness and rigor that regular flight training would demand.

@@rollotomasi4135 Doesn't look like he's wearing one when he gets in, and I think he'd need to do that, because when something goes wrong with a helicopter, there's usually not much time left to react. An even if he's wearing it, its usefulness is questionable. There are lots of videos which show what can happen with these tiny things, for example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLR9e7qo1Kfdqpc.html

Yup, being your next door neighbor would be like a dream come true and I’m a private pilot. I guess you are IMC and fly at night also, getting several practice auto-rotations a day, night, rain, snow, middle of the night, morning, late evening. I guess I really am happy to live in a ratty ass little neighborhood where my neighbors can’t afford anything more than one of those little Mazda’s with the boom box and the sawed off mufflers that makes them sound like a midget with the shits trying to squeeze a fart through a bugle. I thought THAT was loud. Simply amazing!

I am with you. If these flights are not that frequent, I guess I could tolerate it. Some people however have to work nights and their quiet property rights should be respected. The only reasonable sounds that should leave someone's yard might be a lawn mower, leaf blower, a dog barking once in a while, but not excessively. I am not sure if someone's personal helicopter is reasonable, but maybe? I have never heard it. Reasonable people respect others. Maybe the neighbors are good with it? If so a big thumbs up. Here's a related story: I once worked rotating shifts, sometimes going to bed at 7 AM. I would wear earplugs and blinders. I knew how to cope with working nights. I had a neighbor's kid, (a rather fat one) next door fire up his two stroke, chambered exhaust dirt bike next door as soon as his parents left for work every morning. It was like clockwork. Since I worked opposite shifts from his parents I could never see them in person. I left a polite note in their mailbox and that had no effect. I left a phone message on their phone asking politely if the bike could stay garaged until at least at least noon. Nope no effect. Do you have any idea what that bike sounded like at 8 AM, speeding in their yard, going over makeshift jumps round and round for hours? That fat kid should have been pedaling a BMX Bike instead. The County Sherriff said "Sorry but you live in an unincorporated area." "They can do what they want on their property," and never became involved. I finally resorted to repeated 3 AM phone calls, (while from work) not speaking, but only making motorcycle noises. I never identified myself on the letter, phone message or noise calls. After that the noise subsided briefly, but only when the motorcycle actually ceased to function did the early morning noise stop. Notice I just used the word "ceased." It's part of the word "deceased." The fat kid eventually bought a Honda Fourstroke with a muffler. That machine functioned without any problems until the muffler was removed and modified. And then it "ceased" to function also. I cannot imagine how that kept happening? All I can say is the statute of limitations ran out on those actions >35 years ago. I did regularly get some proper sleep after that. I turned that negative situation for me, into solid entertainment. It only took a few late night Ninja operations to silence those machines forever. It was also hilarious to watch that fat kid to try to kick start those bikes over and over never knowing the true cause... If you are out there fat little Bobby, now you know.
