great photos as always. have you loaded it to 600 yet

How Dangerous Are R22 Helicopters? The Robinson R22 helicopters are generally considered safe, especially when operated within their guidelines. However, they do require a high level of skill and experience from the pilot to handle the unique challenges they present. The helicopter's low inertia rotor system and the need for quick autorotation in case of engine failure are critical factors that make the R22 demanding to fly. Despite these challenges, the R22 is a popular choice for training and recreational flying due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness. Engineering.com+5

Can turbulence overload R22 rotor blades? Yes, turbulence can overload the R22 rotor blades. The R22 helicopter is known for its teetering rotor system, which can be affected by extreme blade flapping during turbulence. This flapping can lead to a situation where the main rotor blade contacts the main rotor mast, resulting in a loss of rotor system separation from the helicopter. To prevent such an overload, it is crucial to avoid conditions that could lead to low G (load factor below 1.0) or abrupt control input, such as sudden cyclic pushovers. If turbulence is encountered, it is recommended to slow down the forward airspeed and make small control inputs. In extreme cases, a precautionary landing may be necessary. verticalreference.com

this would almost be the best aircraft in australia for that price

i think he missed the bit about 4 of them flying to oshkosh.😁

i learnt about drilling holes in lexan the hard way. ruined a $300 jab window.

You made a mistake. Sh#t happens. No good carrying on at people that gave you advice.

aren't those 2 seater versions extremely rare, like only a couple flying

was it still under warranty

i would love one but i fly for the enjoyment of being up there. also i think a single seater would get pretty uncomfortable over 100 knts in rough air.

not at all. you would expect that economy from a 42 hp 4 stroke in a slippery airframe

a basic car these days comes with 360 deg cameras. you would think aircraft could have cameras too. the crew could do a last minute check from the cockpit. there seems to be a lot of incidents happening on the ground lately.

it cruises around 100 knts on 2 gallons an hour. stalls at 40 knts. 69500 us fly away. i think they have done well. definately not form over function.

the flat roof version looks like something fell on it in the hangar
