Ahh, they go front gear first instead of back gear

This aircraft has it's very own SFAR because of it's problems. Yes, it's cheap to own and operate, but is that really worth it. They're death traps

Robinsons are death traps!

here i am, checking out an r44 sawing itself in half one day before my first ever heli flight - in an r44.

I have seen video after video with people defending Robinson helicopters. Or for that matter, ANY fully rigid 2-bladed rotor system. But, as the accident record would suggest, even if you mathematically account for the amount of low time, pilots in training, and the ridiculous amount of the things that have sold, they STILL have an accident problem. I'm not an expert, nor am I actually a pilot. I'm am however, a lifelong vehicle operator. I have driven everything from racecars to construction equipment to OTR rigs. I would never step foot in a vehicle where such a deviation could result in the vehicle tearing itself apart. A semi truck for example can analogously go down a hill far too quickly, maybe the driver wasn't paying attention, maybe there was improper signage etc. There are failsafes in place for this scenario. Advanced breaking techniques, runaway truck ramps, and in th case of brake failure automatic spring brake deployment. This stuff has been on trucks, and highways, for almost as long as what we'd call a semi by modern standards has existed. The same goes for ALL heavy vehicles. Motorhomes, buses (this includes city buses, can't be too safe) etc. In the Robinson's case, there is nothing stopping you from killing yourself, or moreover, nothing stopping any number of unforseen circumstances killing you. An unexpected pocket of turbulence could push the nose down. You could sneeze for God's sake. And that may seem far fetched with the weight of the controls etc, but, remember, I've driven vehicle that requires two hands and some serious muscle to operate. I have sneezed and jerked the wheel, even on equipment like that. If you're quick, no harm no fowl in my line of work. I just don't see any reason why any pilot would intentionally push the nose down like that in level flight. It seems to me that there must have been a circumstance where they either thought it was imminently necessary, or they didn't do it on purpose at all. And, as aware as I am that Helicopters are finicky beasts anyway, it would seem that Robinson helicopters, and other 2-bladed rigid rotor systems, have a uniquely dangerous problem. And in the case of other helicopters that suffer from similar issues, they don't seem to be nearly as prevalent. And in the case of the Huey, I can easily see how in combat, a pilot could make such an abrupt, and dangerous movement with intention and force. But, in normal flight, this aircraft is relatively without incident as well. Again, I'm no pilot. But the numbers point to a more serious problem then simply having lesser experienced operators. Especially since you can easily account for that and still see a problem. I'm not even sure why it's such a hot topic online. The numbers clearly show, even whenother factors are accounted for, a higher incident rate, and a much higher incident rate for this issue specifically, than other helicopters. In my view, there seems to be good reason why so many Military and government services upgraded their 2-bladed rigid systems to 4-bladed semi-rigid systems, or flat out replaced those vehicles with semi-rigid vehicles. But, again, I am no expert. This is just what I see from the outside looking in.

Is there a way to maybe lower the tail boom or extend it out ? Obviously there isnt or they would have done it. Aaking mainly bc I want to know why it wont work

戦闘機のエルロンロールの様ですね、凄い🎉

Awesome perspective! May I feature this fly by in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. All the best to you!

wow the Rafale .....so nice !!

Extremely cool

Weak design from the beginning

"Helicopter" ... a collection of spare parts flying in close formation.

The bomber who thinks its a 5th gen fighter.

So what does this mean? If you descend rapidly or hit turbulence you are in danger of severing your tail boom?

YEAR 2075 The death count in these death trap helicopters is now up to 17,483. And no push to ground all of them.

What an incredibly terrible design. This helicopter has led to almost 600 deaths in several decades. It should be banned.

That's just a scale sized production, Im 100% this is going to be America's replacement for the B2 spirit

That's not a DC-4, it's a DC-6.

this is the must erotic plane scene I ever scene in my life!!!

In the 80’s I was at McGuire AFB and saw a C-5 and a C-141 flying around like fighters.

To all those who do their job and do it well with love of God Family and country ; You make my heart swell and make me proud. I pray their will be more of you.

Talk about Military power WOW

Stop here 0:08 i love that moment.

0:20 nice footage

dcs

1980 to 1983, I was the firefighter stationed there 24/7. 1983 the fire fighters position was abolished therefore losing my job.

what a quality aircraft

Ripslinger testing engine at night

Danger! Danger! Will Robinson!

Every low altitude aileron roll that doesn't result in a crash is cool. But seriously, that was neat; exactly the kind of thing I'd go to an air show to see.

The fact an airliner-sized bomber can do something like that. Wow.

Sometimes it do be like that

damn that thing is wicked

Nice camera work.

Yes but someone is almost to loss his wing 🪽.

It just sounds underpowered.

I don't get how this is still possible. Even RC helis have 1000 build in safety features, so why not limit the travel of the rotor through a computer system that knows the g load and speed?

One of the biggest hallmarks of intelligence is empathy. I don't understand either how you could design a helicopter that literally commits suicide under certain flight conditions, but as opposed to morons I attest that my own ignorance, instead of a failed design. If I could talk to the designers I am 100% certain they could explain perfectly well why they designed it this way and why it's a perfectly valid design choice.

Beautiful. Been sittin on my phone for 2 years.

To be honest I find it strange that someone could be in a low G state in the first place, it's logical and I was always taught to reduce power to descend, not to push forward. The only thing that could cause this that I can think of is strong turbulence, so I suppose if I'm every flying an aircraft like this I'll keep it in mind in that situation. Scary stuff though.

Hmmm - a helicopter with a built in suicide feature. Sounds like a lawsuit to me.

Looks like the R22 could also do this, but the R66 has a much taller mast. Please be careful out there...

Still....that big piston bounder 20 feet off the ground.....everything interesting has become safe and boring

That it's even possible is enough for me to say, "No, thanks. I'll just keep breathing. Very generous of you to offer, though."

This is shit chopper easy to die; i advise u go and find urself a better one

These are dangerous, cheap, flimsy pieces of junk. It's a death trap for the poorly trained.

You have to push the cyclic, to induce negative G! Don't the disk tilt to front with fwd cyclic input???

I cant fly faster than a jet, the A model prototype could. But the B model was powered down

"Pretty much handles like a T-38." B-1 pilot

How are these death traps allowed to be sold?
