Micah Reviews His Helicopter | Enstrom 280C

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- People ask a lot of questions about my helicopter. In this video I review my 1978 Enstrom 280C. It’s a thorough walkaround that examines details including the interior, main rotor, tail rotor, engine, gauges, iPad setup, and controls. But if there’s anything you think I overlooked, let me know in the comments.
Here’s a link to the Kelley Blue Book Kia Sorento review I mention in the video. Good times! • 2019 Kia Sorento - Rev...

Watching a helicopter review all because of Micah
I wonder what your helicopter 🚁 would look like....if, " West Coast Customs in Burbank, Ca did there thing...??? That would be an amazing video to see!!! Great Videos....P.S. I noticed your t-shirt of the Bandit Trans Am...they have different models coming out soon. And they look extraordinary!!! Your Friend, Rafael Vélez 😎
I learned to fly in an Enstrom. Great helicopter.. Miss it. I haven't flown in many years...
I like the videos from Micah's personal channel. More intimate and like hanging out with a fun friend for a bit.
I really want a KBB review to start with Micah landing and departing his helicopter as nonchalantly as possible!
Great walk around, tis a handsome helicopter.
This was an awesome review Micah, appreciate your very relatable reviews
Who doesn’t love Micah??? How could you not???
Amazing review! Thanks Micah, great knowing more about the aviation world!
Thank you for showing us! Fascinating!!
This was awesome!! Keep them coming!
Excellent tour of your helicopter...thank you for posting.
As always, a thoroughly interesting , informative and delightful video...and we just love your upbeat personality and rollicking sense of humor...thanks Micah...much appreciated from a new viewer and subscriber...keep up the good work...
LR VANALLEN Thanks for taking the time to comment. Your words are hugely motivating!
The video thumbnail had me expecting a serious music video with slow motion and fireworks...lol...great walk around. I know more than I did yesterday about helicopters 🚁
pretty darn cool !!!!!!!!! can't wait to see it !
Found this a couple of weeks after asking most of these questions under another Micah Flies vid. Thanks for posting this very interesting primer, Micah! Beautiful, personal little machine, by the way.
Nice machine Micah. I have the same, a 78' 280C. I love your interior. Very nice.
Nathan Keith Hey, a fellow Enstrom owner. Nice to meet you! 🙌
@@MicahMuzio You too Micah!
"Which is better than the actual horizon"
Nicely done. Always go with the classics.
So excited to watch this!!
Love all your auto reviews but had no idea you were a pilot and into aviation as well. Awesome.
Great video! Like you said in one of your video's "look at something different, you might like it" I like it.
The 500! 100%! Nice review of the Enstrom. I like them even more now!
Dude! I just binge watched all you vids. Freakin great job on the quality and video engagement. I felt like I was with you in person. BTW I really appreciated your philosophical comments and life lessons. We need more people learning to relax and enjoy life together. It’s too hard otherwise! Keep it up.
Jason Barnes Thanks so much for your comment! It’s encouraging when people get what I’m trying to do here. Cheers!!
Never would I ever have thought this is from the 70s! I don't know anything about helicopters but clearly they haven't changed much design wise over the years. Wow. I like it.
5:34 "The Helicopter will move back and forth, like this .... but with less style ... " 😂😂😂
Great explanation of your helicopter, Thanks!
Thanks for intertainment in form of review keep up the good work good luck
I didn't know you were a pilot! I only saw you reviewing cars on KBB. I flew on a JetRanger once and I didn't want the ride to end - awesome experience!
Cool helicopter!!!! Very interested in watching more about it.
When I saw this video I immediately thought of the Magnum PI chopper! I am glad I watched to the end of the video for your Magnum PI reference.
You did such a great job with this video!
Nice video and nice helicopter, love it! It looks like a very modern machine. Lean and clean.....nice!
Great video. I like how you just look at the camera while the planes take off. Quiet humor. LOL
Great video and what a good looking chopper !
I was always wondering what if the engine just STOPS! lol BTW LOVE your videos on KBB, always been my favorite! Best since John Davis of MotorWeek!
Almost looks like a old sheriffs helicopter green and gold paint scheme, Nice AC
Watching in 2020 during/after the quarantine flyovers! As a lifelong aviation enthusiast, this is very informative and fun! New sub here and Thank you Micah!
Glad to have you aboard!
Awesome video, love this
That was fun ! I really appreciate the show and tell. I like the music better though. lol
Awesome video man. I used to flight instruct at ATP in KLGB in the Signature building way back in 2006. I’m at FEDEX now on the Airbus. I love watching all of your LA area videos because they bring back so many memories of all of the training I did back then and all of the airports and things to see there. If you ever want to come see an Airbus A300 in the cargo version let me know and I’ll see what I can work out the next time I’m in Long Beach or LAX or John Wayne.
That was an awesome video!
Love this!
Awesome review!
Sweet ride
Cool review! Bring your family out on a quick vlog flight!
Great job! I feel like I would watch you review just about anything, or maybe crochet? LOL! and your next video about the helicopter, could you share a little bit of how you got interested, how you got your license, and then how you went about saving for a helicopter. This might be a great hobby in the future!
Yeah, that is one handsome chopper!
Thanks, man, that was great!
Beautiful helicopter. Built in a time when things were made to last. I wish to fly in a helicopter and mark it off on my bucket list of things to do.
I know you sold it, but thanks for including us into a bit of your life. Years of watching you on Kelly Blue Book I always knew you were a versatile chap. And as always… beautiful family!
Thanks for joining me over here and for all the support watching KBB!!!
You look familiar, now I remember seeing your review of Honda Odyssey on Kelly Blue Book. Thanks for taking us along. What you need to add is a 360 deg camera so your wife can choose the angle of view during editing. GoPro makes 360 as others too.
Just tuned in to your channel. I hope you guys are ok with the current situation as we are in the UK. Love the video footage.
Mark Stephenson-Oliver Thanks, mate! We’re doing about as well as could be expected. Hope you’re hanging in there as well. Cheers!
Great explanation
Helicopters. Cool. Thanks!
That Hagerty saying about cars applies to helicopters too. Even when you have your dream helicopter, you still have a dream helicopter 🚁
djbrianc So true. I can’t wait to dream about my next Dream 🚁 after I selling my previous Dream 🚁 to buy my current Dream 🚁.
Love your channel.
Thanks that was very informative
Micah, my ?s refer to costs. Cost when you purchased this Engstrom. Fuel and time and stop costs on, say, a trip to San Francisco. Can you get a loan for one? What does insurance and software fees cost? Storage fees. Maintenance. How much time and $ was it to get licensed?
Thanks for another great video and being awake at 6am to post this :)
Agreed. That would be an interesting follow up video for sure.
If you have to ask...... $$$$
Someone is preparing for their action movie debut with that pose.
Awesome Video Micah!! This is the first video I have watched from your personal channel but consider me subscribed. I own a Cessna 182 so although we fly very different machines, I can definitely appreciate this video. Very curious to know why you went with the Enstrom 280C versus a Robinson R44 Raven II. Being able to take 1 additional passenger plus air conditioning (I live in Texas) would be super attractive to me. I’m sure the R44 must have been a consideration when you were looking to buy a helicopter. I keep telling my wife I should get my heli license add on but she just rolls her eyes at me.
The Straight Pipes brought me here. Thanks for the videos.
This made me want to learn more about helicopters. I'm considering getting my PPL thanks to u.
Do it! You will not regret learning to fly.
Hey Micah! Fun fact. I am from Menominee, MI which is where Enstrom is located. I see them flying helicopters every day.
I had the pleasure of touring the factory a few years back. I'm overdue for a return trim to Menominee...but probably not during winter.
1. You have the same dent on the top left corner of your baggage door. The old-time enstrom guy in Rexburg said that's because if a mechanic who is unfamiliar with enstrom takes that top panel off, the spring in the door pops it up and it falls down on that corner.
2. Also at 3:33 shouldn't your backfire door be rotated about 120 degrees clockwise?
3. That step is pretty nice!
4. At 8:40 pretty amazing how much less the pitch is on right pedal. Makes sense, but I'm not sure I've ever really observed it from that angle.
5. Greek mythology tied into your review. This is why you're the professional.
Thank you for all those insights! God, I love TH-cam! Probably has already been recommended here, but just in case: Destin from Smarter Every Day has a great playlist on his channel going into how helicopters fly.
I saw your LA fireworks video and was interested in why it was "sharking" and then saw that there was no swashplate, thanks for explaining both in this video. :)
Come for the car reviews... stay for the helicopter reviews. I'm finding the helicopter stuff interesting if only becuase of your passion for it. Thanks
I saw only two videos and rank Micah right up there with Stevo1Kinevo. Very good at keeping my attention and great teaching skills!
Best autorotation cluch in the business on the Enstrom too. 😁
You make me wanna buy one now 🚁
Range much greater than I would have guessed. 👍🏾
Comprehensive Review
I like the triple rotor.
Great that it's Fully Articulated.
Just subscribed to the channel.
Keep up the Good work.
The videos are very informative.
Please make a comprehensive video on Autorotation.
‘78 280 review, with ‘78 trans am t-shirt. Well played sir, well played!
Take us flying can’t wait :)
Awesome video thx.
Suoer enjoyable vid. Thanks much. I was wondering about the power plant, and other systems. Good to learn about it. I was just on Flight aware, and see you are up right now(31May @1330) enjoy !
That comment was Super enjoyable vid ! Oh, and what is the fuel burn like? Is two hours about max? thanks.
Foreflight is great. We use it in the cockpit and for fuel pricing. Both fixed wing and rotor. We use Jepps too though. Keep these vids up!
Seems you did your homework in selecting the best helo, awesome tour. Agree with your assessment of the Magnum helo, that would be an awesome craft to own and fly.
Hey Kia Sorento! I just bought a 2019. That’s exactly the kind of real car I was thinking about.
Very cool! Been interested in flying for a while actually took some lessons, never considered a "Copter" but I might now. : )
Well it's official - I'm a fan! I have never been even slightly interested in rotary wing aircraft, but your informative and laid back review of your Enstrom 280C has piqued my interest. So much so in fact, that I will check out the rotary wing section when I visit the International Air Show currently being held at Avalon in Australia. All the best to you Micah and thanks for the work that you do.
Brian Neltram What an awesome comment to usher me into the weekend. Thanks for the kind words and please, have a blast at the airshow!
@@MicahMuzio you are very welcome - your videos and the manner in which you present are so likeable. And as for the Air show - I will. And thanks for your reply!
Hilarious intro! I’m terrified of flying...but let’s be honest, I came here for the tight pants.
That "hey guys" is a little too West Hollywood.....lollll......great video, I always want to own and fly a helicopter, maybe someday, really enjoy this review.
Yes it's a awesome helicopter appreciate very nice.
i have restored several goz900 bikes too. rock on 👍🇺🇸🐻
Very cool.
Enstrom are the best which have had training in, looking forward to the new enstrom training helicopter the TH180
COOL DADS WITH HELICOPTERS WHO REVIEW THEM...they explain and just walk away!!!
learned about the enstrom 280 just 2 days ago. i like the storage on the back and the fact that you can take 3 people onbooard. (check the abanoned robinson that i saved Needs a TONE of work but i hope i can make something with it)
looks like a blast. i fly giant rc helicopters. have a giant bell cobra and airwolf and magnum pi on my channel too. went to college as a helicopter mech. never used it a&p. flew ultralites for years too and cub. 👍👍🇺🇸 great channel. AL
Yeah, that it.....'relatable reviews'! Perfectly stated.
Sweet egg beater 🚁
Good Video mate 👍
PLANES_N_ AUTOS Cheers!!
Even we are not pilots but we still enjoying Micah s funny reviews
P.S you should be flight instructor
Just stumbled upon your channel. Nice video. You are a multi-faceted guy apparently.
Thanks for the view and the kind words. Cheers!
Great review amigo. I love flying the 280! I also made a small video review of it in my channel a while ago. Too bad we have to part with it because of the spindle AD.
pe.sho Hi! Thanks for the kind words. I’ve actually watched some of your videos before. Good stuff!
Bummer about the spindle AD. It affected my ship too. I elected to do the Airwolf TT strap conversion. Pricey but the helicopter is flying great now.
Cheers!
You should totally become an instructor and give your fans free lessons. 😂
Yes I`m from Germany if you an instructor ? You got it
I'd love to see a video going in depth about how you use the iPad in flight!
Cole Shortridge That’s a great idea. 👍
I like the Enstrom. The damn R44 cyclic handle bar hits my knee throwing the whole cyclic movement’s off; I’m 6’5”.
I just need one of these
Micah, I saw you on flightradar24 on july 5th, 2020 you departed from long Beach Airport and headed towards downtown los Angeles. My question is why your helicopter was showing an airplane on radar. Love your videos of the los Angeles basin. Thank you 👍
Great video and super jelly! Having said, helicopters scare the sh*t out of me.
