This helped man! Still to this day, 10 years later. Thank you!!!!

Saitek X-45. Thanks.. I was kicking myself for not going into enough detail.

I just got this Module and this video was a help. Nice landing at the end. The ground effect is immediately noticable, but this module makes me happy. I mainly buy the ones I can spend time learning new things.

nice thank you, don't forget during turns " foot kicks the ball"

The effect you were trying to convey is TRANSLATIONAL lift and is a critical piece of the puzzle. In hover you're weight hangs 90 degrees to the rotor so the rotor is doing all of the work to keep the craft aloft. As you TRANSLATE forward, gravity is only able to pull some of your weight straight down thus your rotor is no longer dead lifting all of your weight. Since the rotor is producing LIFT for a dead lift which is no longer needed in your new forward translation, you naturally begin to climb. Now that you're in forward flight, you need to reduce collective to maintain level flight because you're simply not as heavy due to translational lift. In reverse it gets a little weird. As you slow you need to reduce collective to avoid climbing but the craft will hit a point were its slow enough to be carrying to its full weight again which will be almost a hover. Since you didn't need as much collective in forward flight your transition from forward flight to hover causes the craft to have to lift all of its weight again and you suddenly begin to sink, so you must add collective back to level out the hover. The other thing to know is Helicopter blades are a rotor WING like an airplane's fixed wing, its not a jet. It produces LIFT with down wash as a side effect. There is no Thrust. But even an airplanes propeller PULLS the airplane through the air. LIFT is the reason and airplane propeller has the tapered shape. Neither the airplane propeller nor the helicopter blades "PUSH" you anywhere.

Very nice, thanks mate, great intro to all the basics.

Cool, thanks. This was a good vid to watch for a beginner.

Very helpful! Thanks for an awesome tutorial!

Taliban looking this up like 🕵️🐐

I remember in elementary back during the Vietnam war a dean of students was in the military and during lunch they came in hot and skidded about a hundred ft to a stop than we all went outside for an assembly.

Sick, gonna go steal a Huey now

one thing missing, Fortunate Son

Almost like using a huge backhoe,you use bo ty h hands and feet to operate it

You did fine at least you kept control nice one.

Sure mate.. we all had to start somewhere

I would like to try this

It is hard to fly...just like backing a 28ft truck... only much more arm/leg correction difficulties.very difficult!

thanks for the video helped a lot

I wanna get this right did you just start by saying “im eating a tuna sandwich and today im gonna show you how to fly a HU-1”

Great video! I really like how you break it all down. What kind of stick are you using?

This layout is a bit different to the UH-1C i fly but still same

Love these tutorial vids. Do real Hueys need to be trimmed with cyclic slightly back and anti-torque slight left or is this just a feature of the Huey mod in DCS?

Im a huey pilot

yes sir I like to see how you start and the bell 222 helicopter OK

Ground effect...much different than a airplane.

I think is this helicopter sim

Dam This Is Amazing!!!! Where can I Get This Program?

Very difficult to fly!!

If you wanna hit the nsa switch just say " Allah" !

In fact...helos are not easy to fly!

You should make some campaign vids or something. If you'd say i gues and i think a bit less you're nice to listen to.
