What could possibly go wrong... :}

His eyes were always down on the instrument panel, except when the machine had finished its hop and was still again, when he would look up. Good technique....:eek:

[g-mady]

its was like "this far away" :ok:

Did something fall off the rotar head at about 1.30 and 2.10 seconds?

[AnFI]

I don't think this is allowed in the UK...

For a home built it looked like a well designed piece of equipment. Cross tubes look sturdy. Not sure why the exhaust runs forward ( to keep the pilot warm maybe ). Lots of lightening holes in evidence. Anyone recognize the engine ?.
and to ANFI , not much is allowed in the UK :)

I couldn't see any pedals or other form of tail rotor control?

[AnFI]

Marvelous that people try these things.

It always surprises me that people who can't yet fly are brave enough to learn whilst being test pilot ....

... still it's a free country !! (over there)


(the hat prevents the pilot recieving the attitude feedback which pilots rarely realise they loose with that type of hat .... especially whilst looking down)

[heli-cal]

Those hats can also help you to fly an R44 into a hangar door!

The assembly certain appears stout - the rotor head looks beefy and I notice the tailboom hardly so much as waggles while he brings up the RPM. That's impressive.

Of course, I spent the majority of the time watching the footage and waiting for the disastrous rollover. "He's intending to arrest that drift, right?"
