To which checklist you are referring?

[@avalanche9026]

I flew one long ago. Boy that cyclic sucks I don’t like it at all.

Hi, what is the transition time limit during start over 782 degrees Celcius? In POH there is 6 sec for 843 and 927 10 sec

[@dabneyoffermein595]

So if "Fuel Cutoff" is in the "PULL OFF" position per the checklist, does that really mean it is fully on?

[@blave549]

The RH side gauge's mounting bracket behind the panel appears to've come loose. Great vid though!

Duncan looks like a right proper planker lol

[@hector9286]

your copilot needs more education

[@andrewjamez]

states "dreaded fixed wing things" while sitting in the most dangerous helicopter ever....lol What a sense of humor....

[@ImpendingJoker]

R-66 has a pretty good safety record, though I admit the R-22/44 have had less than stellar numbers.
