It's amazing that such rather old helicopters are still working and even quite reliable. Of course, without professional specialists, maintaining their performance would be impossible.
Something very satisfying about watching these old dudes restore and maintain beautiful legacy aircraft. Lots of historic tech from the East that we usually don't get to see. Respect.
j'Ai toujours eu une passion du Kamov Ka-26! Je trouve ce bel appareil vraiment extraordinaire! Merci pour le partage passionnant! Un abonné de France. 😉👍🚁
It is still in production as the Ka-226, the cabin has been slightly modified and the two radial engines have been replaced by turbines. But otherwise it is immediately recognizable as Ka-26 (226).
Thank you for the video and the extra information in the description. The Ka-26 is one of my all time favorite helicopters. I would love the chance to fly one some day!
The guy holding the blade tracking flag has some balls, lol. Seems like they could use a safer way like strobe? Always loved this helicopter, such beautiful music it makes.
Great video! Ka-26 is one of my favorite works of Mark Kupfer (deputy chif designer at Kamov design bureau) alongside Ka-27 wich he finished after Kamov's death. One of the pioneers of parametric alignment concept in helicopters design.
@@pufango4059 lol, not Knopfler, but Kupfer. And only things in music he was known for was his hobby of making balalaikas :) But I think the creation of two wonderful helicopters is a much greater achievement.
What a unique looking helicopter. It even has a pick up truck bed (how American!) I thought those were turbines until it fired up! If it was all rusty it would look like a Mad Max machine!
I noticed that, too. Probably only happens due to the large excess of fuel in the exhaust while they are cranking it. Unlike a 2-stroke Detroit, once it burns the fuel off it stops running backwards.
Létezik olyan magyarnyelvű videó, ahol az indítási procedúrát elmagyarázzák ? Vagy ezt az érdekes rotor trimmelési megoldást ? ( remélem jól fogalmaztam :) ) Nagyon jó lett a videó egyébként ! :)
Konkrét magyarázó anyag tudtommal egyelőre nincs, a folyamat viszont látszik egy másik videómban. A leírásban a beszabályzásról is van pár információ... th-cam.com/video/2UHiiq-Pz7U/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TomiAviation
Я живу в казакстане возле моего дома был аэродром точна такой же вертолёт в доль и поперёк всё аблазили с камандиром верталета были и такие времена до 97года бвла так.. Невероятно но факт..
It's a stick. No, really. Well it's a stick with some soft material wrapped around it. Every blade in the rotor has a different pigment on its tip. When you gently hold the stick up to the spinning rotor, so that the tips barely brush the soft material, you get a picture of how well the individual blades are balanced, with the three smears of pigment they leave on the stick.
@@SeanMirrsen Hello, Sean. Actually what they're doing there is not balancing the blades but checking the tracking of each blade. The rotor blades all must rotate in the same plane to work efficiently together and reduce vibration. At 3:25 the tech is adjusting an aerodynamic trim tab on one blade to move it's tracking into the same plane as the other blades. Those Kamovs have a lot of blades to get into track.
The fact is that to overcome the threshold of 350 km / h for a helicopter is such a useless task that it simply does not make sense. The whole point is that the propeller blades lose their lift when overcoming the speed of sound. By the way, this is also a problem for propeller-driven aircraft, which is why they began to massively switch to jet propulsion.
@@НиколайНикакоюс-л2ь I think they overcome it by reduce rotational rotor speed when in flying mode. It may be like auto gyro when the heli fly straight.
Kamov Ka-26 and Sikorsky S-58, the only helicopters left that still make beautiful music with radial engines.😍
My father was pilot of Ka-26 in agricultural aviation. He gave me a ride several times. Just like in the video. Amazing feelings.
does anyone agree that this helicopter looks cute?
yes
Nope
super cute little thing
Yes I agree.Soviets or Russians were perfect in making Helicopters.
Cool lol chopper.
Очень деликатная работа, хорошо отбить винт. Снимаю шляпу перед венгерскими техниками за любовь к старику Камову..

This helicopter has a modern evolution - Ka-226. And he's great.
Респектос, мужики. Не машина, а загляденье👍
The Ka-26 are the best sounding helicopter!! They sound like a hot rod!
At last.. fantastic news,and incredible first flight after a lengthy process of restoration.

Much respect to the folks keeping these radial beasts flying. Definitely one of my favourite choppers!
It's like a Thunderbird No. 2 or may be a flying KEI truck. I love this. : )

25 years and more than 10 000hrs. this beautiful chickens feed me. Incredible chopper
Love the sound of these machines :-))
wonderful Ka-26 you got to love 'em ! love the new paint . she may look "basic" , but she makes other helis look crude . best wishes from Wales UK.😍😍

Informative description. Adore the new paint too.
нашел сегодня такой в продаже, 75,500$ в отличном состоянии. цена китайского кроссовера.
Great sound.

have seen a version with turbines. didn't sound as cool as the old radials....
Смотрится супер.
Cool looking ship. Looks very balanced
I have never seen one of these before but Man, they are so cool. I Love that Paint job 👍⭐
She's a beauty !!!
Végre nem az a megszokott muslincafogó sárga szín ! Jól néz ki !!! 👌
Should have painted the cargo tray green too . Looks good nice job
Love these aircraft.
Beautiful ...... ☆☆☆☆☆
La musique est très forte au début .....c'est pour les autres vidéos que tu feras ,merci mon gars.
Умели предки делать вещи!
Камов гений
Классно! Спасибо)
A great helicopter!
Que hermosa nave, muy practica y multipropócito, que motores tiene? de cuantos HP?
Saludos desde Argentina.
It is powered by two 325 hp (239 kW) Vedeneyev M-14V-26 radial engines
Great show. Wish success !
Did anyone else notice that they've turned it into a Ute? That's a Pickup truck, for non-English speakers.
Without the rotors it looks like a ship from Star Wars
ITS YOUR TYPICAL AIRFLY ISUZU ELF. :3
This is awesome! Kind of like the “Harley Davidson of Helicopters”…. 😜
Love her new paint !
Szép állapotban van.Jó visszaemlékezni, nosztalgiázni. A következő lajstromjelű, a MRD volt a gépünk Szécsényben. Vajon mi lehet vele.
Красивый вертолëт.
Around 2:30 it appears that the engine was briefly running backwards, yes? They quickly stopped and corrected it, but I didn't know that was possible!
I noticed that, too. Probably only happens due to the large excess of fuel in the exhaust while they are cranking it. Unlike a 2-stroke Detroit, once it burns the fuel off it stops running backwards.
Fantastic to see.
P.S. Tray needs to be bright yellow if not white w/safety trim.
Nekem tetszik !
Örülok hogy egy
kicsit én is
"repülhettem"
Köszi !!
а запчасти для них еще выпускают?
Did something fall off the helo and hit the pilot side rear tire at 4:53 ?

Linda e promissora essa máquina voadora, só não entendi onde fica o tanque de combustível.
Они крутят педали, и лопасти крутятся поднимая вертолет вверх.
Turbines would be so cool on that thing
Great

A beautiful paintwork :)
I've never heard a Kamal make that high pitch noise before.
1raket Typ Piorun and gamy over k46
Хорошая звука запись !
Those lower blades dont miss by much.....
Nice small helicopter!👍
With mufflers and ditch the straight cut gears would probably be a real quiet chopper
I support your love for helicopters
ชอบครับ ka-26
Nice!
This seems safe design that having one rotor and tail rotor.
The engines remind of the "Pod Racing" from StarWars 4 . There's some similar qualities
That's old school, track blades
I would love to go for a flight.
Ótimo vídeo
Parabéns
Wouldn’t be the one to hold the tracking poll !
Cool, but those blades look close when you go forward or turn.

Would you please clarify what is this tool at 2:45 which is held near the rotor blades?
It's a stick. No, really.

How is the transmission connected to these engines? Does anyone have a diagram?
I do like the look of Russian equipment. Very different, unless a copy, from western equipment.
That about covers it as far back as I can remember.
Las palas casi tocan los motores😃
Kamov Davidson !! 🤭🤭🤭song.
Are the fuel tanks located in the tail boom?
Between the engines
Это поршневые двигатели?
Да !
Да
Ядерные
I suggest Kamov to develop Sikorsky S-97 Raider as a competition choice in arms market. It is easier for them to develop such heli.

Where is the fuel tank?
In the centro-plane, between the engines, and behind the pilot cabin, in the upper part of the fuselage.
It's s Star Wars vehicle? 🤔
It's a bit Pod Racer isn't it ?
