Sorry I'm 2yrs late seeing this Gloria, great job! That's really the way it goes! "The merry mixer" .. it's just like learning how to walk or bicycle or skate on ice..or driving! Your body is learning new and completely unprogrammed motor skills.. it becomes natural "second balance" with more experience, getting smoother as you expect and feel the motion leading up rather than "chasing" it.. Unlike an airplane which feels more "like a bicycle" a helicopter is much more a unicycle or pogo stick in a hover! Lots of little corrections given & taken so you don't have to use bigger ones, & learning what everything gives you.. You were so calm and professional. I know your Dad was really proud! You stepped up to the hardest part! From 2 years behind, nest of success in all your future endeavours!
Wow, she's good! Gentle inputs are the key, like driving a car where you have to adjust inputs all the time, except another couple of dimensions. Great job!
Gloria must be Gloriously stoked to have her first introductory flight. It was a blast watching her using the controls. She will do well if she chooses a career in Helicopters. I give her a high five and a big pat on the back. Well done Gloria.Chris Houser is an excellent FI.
Nice job! My first and only helicopter lesson was in the late 70s while flying in an OH-58 Kiowa with a pilot (Major in the ARNG). He knew I was working on my private license and asked if I would like a try on the rotor wing. Sure I would. After a quick explanation of the cyclic, collective, and rudders, he gave the aircraft to me. Thirty minutes later, I was quite airsick and he was quite amused. BTW, I did go on and earn my private ticket on a fixed-wing (Cessna 172).
Reminds me of my first lesson. The death grip and all over the place in hovering. I’m kinda wondering if it’s a disadvantage to train in a clockwise rotating helicopter since it’s not real common.
I don't believe it is a disadvantage to learn in a clockwise rotor system. A helicopter flies like a helicopter, doesn't matter if it is clockwise rotation or counterclockwise. You also can't think of it as right or left pedal input, but as power pedal input. Thanks for watching!
My helicopter adventures are sadly limited to the virtual R22 in Microsoft Flight Sim 2004, but I visualize anti-torque pedal usage in that I apply the pedal in the direction I want the nose to swivel. The left pedal causes the nose to yaw left, while the right pedal causes a right yaw of the nose. With that logic in mind I am confident I could fly helicopters with clockwise or anti-clockwise main rotors with equal ease
My friend and ex-shipmate who is a retired Blackhawk pilot says (regarding piston power) "Belts are for holding up your pants, not for helicopters." He says every Robinson, etc. is a death trap & he refuses to get in one even if I pay.
3 blades or more are more responsive, I felt more "gyroscopic" must feel more "lively" in that little heli..I like the safety of fenestron tail, but seems to have "spongier" handling..requiring more "smooth to point" control than being able to toe-chip.. All craft are different, wish I were in a situation where it was practical to get back into full scale aviation, because there's great schools, instructors & programs out there.. I'm only flying RC now, but you guys impress me.. you're doing a great thing with all the crew Kenny, I love lurking in as a lot of the safety aspects are synonymous to "smaller flight"..which is a lot harder when you aren't in the aircraft!
Woa!!! - Long time no see there Kenny! . . . Funny how this video lay in my feed, just as I am re-reading Robert Mason's ''CHICKENHAWK''!... Seems like the *Helicopter Online Ground School* has come a long way since last time, great to see Gloria on the controls of the agile little Gabri with the balanced IP Chris from *Sweet Aviation!* (I'm keen to know how Gloria's experience did turn out since this was filmed!?!) Appreciate your downloadable HOGS's ''Maneuver Guide'', keep up the stellar work my friend! 🇳🇴👍
first time i ever flown a helicopter was an md-500 notar i stole for a joyride..i rode in it about 10 times before and i paid attention so when my bosses friend landed and took his plane out for the day i decided to take it for a joyride..easiest aircraft ive ever flown,even easier than the cessna 152 and 172 i took flying lessons in years earlier..
That’s what you call a natural rotor pilot congrats Gloria the helicopter pilot bug just beat you hey Kenny you have to give us your school website in case we live in the area and decide and want to go to your school
Great job, Gloria! 👏 👏. Learning to hover is a very humbling experience, and you did such a great job for your first time at the controls! ... ... It’s obvious you’re a “chip off the old block”. What a great way to start a cool and wintery morning up here in Alaska.... Having a hot cup of coffee with Kenny and Chris watching their new video. You are exactly right, Kenny, these are some crazy times we’re living through. We have to drive forward and continue with our lives and hope for the best. Getting your video notification this morning was a great change from watching the news and seeing that craziness. THANK YOU! I look forward to watching more in the future. I have an appointment to take my CFI Knowledge test next week, so that will help keep me busy as well. 🤞 Thank you and the HOGS team once again for all of your hard work and for everything you do for all of us out here!! You are the Greatest!! 👍 👍
What a great instructor he is! I would totally trust him in his patient manner! But, he gently took control when he needed to!

BeautifulI can't wait!!! I always watched your inspiring videos. Gloria is a natural. Great instructor.
Thank you Leon I appreciate that very much!

She said thank you!

Great job. Both of you. Gloria did very well but Chris is a great instructor. Well from what I see on here.
Nick Pepper thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Awesome job Gloria!
You are so welcome
Brain on fire! Great Job of being brave and following instructions
Thank You!
Superb. Reminds me of learning collective pitch model helicopter.
Rolls all over place.
Love it!
Thanks for commenting
VERY enjoyable to watch.... thank you....:):)
Les Brown thank you!
Just shows how much of a balance act flying a helicopter is… well done! 👍
Thank you!
Great job Gloria! I can only hope I do that well when I do my intro.
Thank you Michael!
Good good job!!! Brava
Vints thank you 😎
Well done Gloria! Good first flight. Brought back fond memories of mine. 👍
Shukokai Stu 1983 thank you for the feedback!
Nice job, Gloria!! 👍👍😎

Love this video the best!!!welll Done🎉 Gloria!!
Thank you so much!!
well done Gloria
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice work, Gloria. Just found this channel three years later 😂 Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you!! 😁
Nice job! That first flight looks VERY familiar.
Thank you walkingleafaviation for joing us today! :)
Cool
Thanks for the feedback.
More left pedal to counter the rotation to the right. If the main rotor went other way, more right pedal.
Thank you for the feedback!

As if the other heli's are not any less of a death trap.... 🤔

Hi my name is Bill I like it to learn to fly a chopper, but it hard, because I'm from Big Island of Hawaii, I watch your video next time.
You can do it!
The Cabri must be WAY less scary for a cfi with a discovery flight then a R22 with the mast bumping .
Thanks for the feedback.

Hovering is most difficult.
Thank you for the feedback!
I was nervous...🤔

She looks like she was forced to do this lesson.
