Je ne connaissais pas ce genre de procédure pour le réglage des pales de rotor? Apparemment efficace certes, mais quand même risquer! Merci pour cette vidéo incroyable. 😮👍
Thats how to do it! Seems to work because it flies ok after adjustment. Very impressive for the compact size it is and its purpose. A bit noisy, otherwise it's fine. This has got to be a classic of its era. I'd love to have a flight in one!!! 😃👊👍
I am wondering how he does the top set of blades - hope he doesn't get a step-ladder !!! 11:28 OMG.........................................should have guessed , he uses a longer stick . Love the Kamovs 😍😍........and their teams , amazing work guys . Wales UK
If you had told me before today that people track their rotors by literally holding a stick up into them I would've just walked away like, "You're an idiot."
I did that once back in the 80's and was terrified as I brought the stick closer to the marked rotating blades. I finally swapped seats with the pilot and I ran the engine up and he used the stick with tape to check blade tracking. It was interesting to say the least. I had my hand on the collective and was told not to lift the helicopter off the ground.
@@alikalany6586 All it was is a long wooden pole which was long enough to extend above the main rotor blades. Protruding outwards near the top of the pole were 2 dowel pins about 10cm long, one above where the rotor blades would be tracking and another below. A piece of wide masking tape was stretched between the two dowel pins. On the rotor blade ends, different colored grease pencils were used to mark the ends. The helicopter was started up and power was applied so the rotor blades would be at their optimum speed. The collective was increased almost to the point of lifting off at which time a person holding the stick which was firmly planted in the ground perpendicular to the blades would bring the top end of the stick with dowel pins slowly towards the rotor blades until they just barely made contact with masking tape. Afterwards, an individual could look at the tape which would have markings from the grease pencils, indicating how the blades were tracking.
As for adjusting with the stick, this was the common way for most helicopters from last century. many decades ago, I had a Rotorway Scorpion2 and its 2 rotor blades were also adjusted with a stick.
I remember seeing this done with a Scout.. chinagraph pencils taped to the bladed and a strip of jungle tape on a broomstick! Having flown in US Hueys, I suspect they were not aware of the concept.. I suppose the vibration kept folk awake and was a cheap form of massage...?
@@dmitriyivanov2928 Я не просто так сказал, что они профи. Эти люди знают этот вертолёт настолько,что они могут настраивать автомат перекоса на глаз. И ставить в один ряд Ми-2 и Ка-26 - абсолютное невежество. Потому, что это абсолютно разные машины.
Thanks for the nice Video 🤩👍 Do you offer the Ka-26 sightseeing flight for Tourists? I like the little Ka-26 . I am flying the Kamov Ka-50 Black Shark in DCS Word 2.5 Flight Simulator. The Ka-26 would be a nice Simulator Module for DCS.
You know every Kamov Ka-26 seen to used 3 quarts of oil upon cranking these helicopter? My friend had a biplane with a 7 cyl-rotors engine? And if it smokes that bad we shouldn't see anything while flying. Enjoy flying it.
Thank you for this very interesting Video. Also thank you for the specifications of the engines and range. I have 2 questions: 1) is the 2 stroke oil mixed before fueling the helicopter or is there a separate oil tank and mixed in operation? 2) What is the lifting weight capability? Bonus question: is it true that all the replacement parts are made in Hungary? EDIT: I just found out that the engines are 4 cycle, so please disregard the oil question.
2) standby, I'll check it in the AFM. The answer is an absolute no for the bonus question, only some small parts are made here and there is a few organisation which executes major repairs or OHs for some parts. LLPs are from unarworthy airframes.

What are the specs on this chopper? Engine type and size, fuel type, range also can this unit be registered in other countries such as US n Canada? :-) enjoy your vids. :-)
Thanks for this fantastic and interesting video! I was wondering if you could tell me what the "nose" does on the front of the cockpit - some KA-26 have them and some not. much appreciated mate!
wouldn't it be alot easier to 1st put the rotor blades on the upper rotor head, track them, & then 2nd, install the rotor blades on the lower rotor head, track them & be done with the task??? Or was he tracking both upper & lower rotor blades at the same time??? were there any balance issues before the final airborn takeoff???
@ Almost. The speed is constant, the key is the differential angle of incidence control on the upper and lower blades by the rudder pedals. And you got it.
Does it not have a clutch to disconnect the drivetrain from the engine? Makes it hard to start when you have turn over the drivetrain as well as the motor.
Yes, each engine is equipped with a hydromechanic clutch system. The reason why the blades are turning during engine start is that the oil is thick in the clutch.
all rotor blades must rotate at the same level (in this case: 3 colors for 3 blades). They change the angle of attack per blade by adjusting the control linkage.
Are these helicopters expensive? How expensive is to operate them? I read online that Kamov tried to make a single jet engine model k-126 but never went into production. These look to be operated by farmers so it gives the impression that they are not super expensive to get. The Russians make a new twin engine version Ka-226 but they are 5 million a piece!
The purchase price is quite low but the operation and maintenance prices are pretty expensive due to the engines are not economical and it is hard to get spare parts. Despite this, Ka-26 is still the best type for agricultural purposes. Ka-226 is a blind track in my opinion.
@@TomiAviation *Ka-226 was created for other purposes, this is a helicopter not for agriculture, it is used as a medical, policeman, and for the forces of special operations, because of the compact sizes from very well suited for operations in a dense urban development, and it is easy to place it on patrol Ships!*

Or was he tracking both upper & lower rotor blades at the same time??? were there any balance issues before the final airborn takeoff???
És azoknál a szép színeknél mit is kell figyelni?
Single wing swivel How can an airplane control the rudder without a rudder blade?
@ Almost. The speed is constant, the key is the differential angle of incidence control on the upper and lower blades by the rudder pedals. And you got it.
@@TomiAviation , Will the differential change affect the collective sum? Is it necessary to compensate the collective?
@@RobotN001 one collective increases and the other decreases. So there's a difference in torque on each rotor while the total lift remains the same.
@@ricoreyes6044 I'm asking about second order side-effects.
where are the fuel tanks located ? 🤔 inside those engine hubs or under the main rotor?
they wear them like waistcoats with a suction tube and yeah the rest of the fuel is in the mainframe touching the back of your seat
@@conradarrowsmith4869 🙉😂

The Soviets really didn't care about looks when it came to thire helicopters did they.
Practicality over aestheticsI suppose.
How do these colors appear on the stick? Are there some color paints on each blade?
Watch the video please.
I used to stick my fingers in the box fan to see if I good stop them.
Wouldn't it be wiser to do upper blade tracking first and then lower blade
