    Brings back good memories of flying the 300. It's really slow but a great trainer and a nice machine to fly.

    You mean the button I keep holding and push repeatedly? That's the clutch control and it's actually a flip switch. It's used to engage the clutch little by little, always keeping the engine rpm between certain limits (hence the multiple clicks). After the rotor is fully coupled to the engine you leave the switch in 'engage' position and close the guard so you can't disengage it inadvertently during flight.

    Excellent, Excellent, Excellent.....!!!! Many years ago, I soloed in the OH-23 (Hiller12E) at Ft Wolters TX... The other half of our company had the TH-55, which I admired also... Great film on your part with excellent touch control in your various demonstrations on hovering. .. Please do put out more of these!!!!! Gordon in Maui

    It's called collective friction. When properly adjusted, it holds the collective in the manually preset position. Not to be used during hover however! But can be practical when cruising and needing one hand for setting radios, flipping over the map etc. I use it here during initial climb, but only for a few seconds, as you can see. It will always allow for quick lowering of the collective by force, e.g. in case of an autorotation.

  • @planedude91

    because if the rotor system is balanced right, only a little force should be needed to hold the collective. very cool to know that it will still release during auto

    The controls on the Robinson R-22 are VERY sensitive to the slightest inputs. The Schweizer seems to be slightly more forgiving on the inputs.

    Someone needs a checklist, beacon on prior to start, this indicates to others on the airfield that the aircraft is about to be started.

  • @Beemerboy324

    As you engage the rotor clutch what do you keep doing with your right hand as it spins up, some sort of switch?

    Why is the pilot sitting in the left seat? Since before the dawn of time, the helicopter PIC position has been in the right seat. Very strange.

  • @AlfredoPachecoJr
    @AlfredoPachecoJr 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm guessing the motor is not strong enough or designed to handle the amount of torque/power required if the clutch was fully engaged with zero Nr.
    What kid of clutch does it have? Is is belt/friction based involving a moving pulley or a disc/friction type like on a vehicle?
    I've worked on helicopters for many years, but it was on the SH-60 for the Navy. Never seen how a piston powered helicopter works yet.

  • @BulldzrWV
    @BulldzrWV 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ive never flown a 300 but are you suppose to keep flipping the clutch engagement on/off like that?

    • @joemcdermott6419
      @joemcdermott6419 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      In the older non ifr 300's you have to flip the switch constantly keeping the rpm at 1,500, and disengage it every time it drops 100 rpm. You do have to do this multiple times until the rotor picks up enough rpm and won't bog down the engine. in some of the IFR 300's it has an automatic clutch so you just need flip it once.

    • @DX91001
      @DX91001 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Joe McD I just jam in on! And if it starts to bog then I use a 2x4 to give it a push!

    why do you keep engaging and disengaging the clutch im doing my training right now in the same helicopter and also what did you use to mount your go pro camera

  • @geddon436
    @geddon436 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I see you pushing a button with a clicking sound as the rotor starts to spin. What button are you pushing?

  • @AlfredoPachecoJr
    @AlfredoPachecoJr 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Depending on the size of your "wallet", the price varies from a private sale to a new factory built model. Based on what I saw doing a quick Google search of a Schweizer 300c, your looking at a price rage of $100,000 (used/private sale) to $400,000 (New/2013 manufacture date).
    Hope this helps.

    • @kojack635
      @kojack635 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just understand that helicopters are inherantly more difficult than planes to fly. For most people your first 5-8 hrs will be difficult. Then it will become almost second nature as time goes on. Just pay attention to your instructor

    One question, why were you on the left side?

    • @Captainhelicopter
      @Captainhelicopter  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Because you fly a Schweizer 300 from the left hand side. Right hand side controls are the ones that can be removed when carrying passengers.

    • @Jacob-on5zh
      @Jacob-on5zh 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I take flight lessons in a S-300CBi and the PIC always sits on the right, great video btw, loved it. For example: i.ytimg.com/vi/uoTAPjaxKkQ/maxresdefault.jpg Thats a picture of one person flying from the right side.

  • @vulcan_nz
    @vulcan_nz 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was planning to be a helicopter pilot but costs for private + commercial here exceed $110,000 in nz, I just settled for being a digger operator it only cost $3500 for the course much cheaper, maybe when I've saved up enough of yearly wages I'll try for it but also the fact they use R22's to train in and it's a helicopter with a very bad crash record it's a little offputting tbph.

      The throttle is located on the collective. Twist towards you to lower RPM. Twist away from you to increase RPM.

  • @whmitty1
    @whmitty1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    There's little doubt you, to put it in the vernacular, OWN the Schweizer S300. I am just a lowly X-Plane simmer trying to fly this machine and I gotta say it's a profound challenge. I've read that doing so in a simulation is actually more complicated that learning on the real helicopter. I suspect you never have to use any program like X-Plane but your inputs would be appreciated nonetheless. Thank you.

    • @whmitty1
      @whmitty1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@r3ady150 The challenge of the 300 Schweizer keeps me coming back to it. Any time I don't crash the 300 between take-off and landing I count as a win for me. I fly the Nimbus UH-1 with a little better success in X-Plane. It's larger so less "squirrely". All reports of DCS Huey claim it's very nice to fly. The CH-47D in X-Plane is the easiest for me but at ~12 tons empty you definitely need to plan in advance in which direction you plan to fly it. I will try DCS Huey when major sale hits.

    Blimey! 5 minutes clicking switches before you can even get airborne. Half of the video is spent switching the fricken thing on. I realize the point is to help people with the procedure, but why on Earth does there need to be a five minute procedure? Maybe some folks enjoy it, but for me, it would take a lot of the fun out of flying. They could land a man on the Moon nearly 50 years ago, but starting an aircraft in 2017 still takes five minutes. You'd think they could get a computer to just do all that for you with a simple push button. I think I'll stick to my bicycle - it's 19th Century technology and it doesn't fly, but at least all you need to do is get on it and start pedaling. Takes a second.
