Rc-heli flight lesson 10... Auto rotations (freddys flight academy)

in the lesson we cover
how to perform auto rotations in both emergency and intentional situations. autos are a very good skill to have under your belt. They can be the difference in a crash or the ability to save your heli from damage. Also they can add that little bit of extra flair at the end of your flight.

Just hot back into helis after a 14 year absence. I'm currently flying a Blade 230s V2. Love the damn thing. Your videos have helped more than you will ever know. No 3d master. But I'm doing very well. In South Florida. Everyone is into drones. I own 1 and at the moment it's a dust collector. Hate it. TH-cam is a wonderful tool when having to repair it yourself. Once again. Thanks.

[@PostmoderneModelWorks]

You are great at explaining this complex stuff in an easy to understand way.

[@SamJWest1985]

Just had my first engine stall the other day. Luckily I managed to get the heli down without to much damage. This helps me alot. Thanks for the video Freddy.

[@fcolon1976]

Another great tutorial. Having never done an auto, I did understand roughly what was required but this has clarified everything very nicely.

I lost the authority on my tail boom and had to do all the location down from around I guess the seventies 100 feet and got back on the ground and in one piece but it really helped to know how to do the auto rotation down Get It On The Ground without destroying the helicopter

[@NWGJulian]

Great vid Freddie, keep up the good work. What range of pitch should you be using when actually in the auto ie any minus pitch to 3 or 4 degrees positive in the landing phase?

[@robertthorpe2179]

Spent all my money. :)

[@BDSSchool1]

Awesome

[@leosoto4174]

Hi Freddy....great videos...i have a question; how do you setup throttle hold to do autos....thanks leo

[@vedasticks]

Had my main gear strip as i punched out of inverted at 20 feet of the ground . Yeah thats not fun. especially on a 250!!
I think i mostly saved it though, got up right but it didnt float down, but rather dropped and didnt have enough headspeed to soften the landing much.
It broke the landing gear and possibly bent mainshaft showhow. The heli bounced up and onto its side, it also broke a ball link on the DFC head.
Apart from that everything else seems intact.
Not sure there was much else i could do as in that instant alot of headspeed was soaked up just getting upright from inverted.

[@superdon1chw]

thank you valuable

[@33forsaken]

+donald allen thank you :)

[@benjyboba]

I have a shuttle plus nitro heli and been recently doing hover failures, it seems to me that the heli tends to drop out of the sky much faster. I'm currently too nervous to take the heli up too high in case the engine really fails and I mess up the auto. I'm unsure if I can come down vertically on a shuttle 30 or if I need to flair to maitain rrpm. I'm ok at the flair, I guess i'm gonna have to take a risk and try a power recovery at the bottom. Its mostly my nerves that suffer.

[@matrix5062]

Hi Freddy, fantasist teacher tell me have you made a Vid for nose down & up power cercal's finding them really hard to get in and out of them.

[@AndreKellermann]

Hi,

I would prefer 500 Size.
greets
Andre

[@joulemak]

Hi, can you make a video on funnel normal & inverted?

[@dclogin]

Hello Freddy, great tutorials. Would you please post some advice on upright funnels I can not master? Thanks, Daniele

[@leosoto4174]

how do you set up throttle hold for autos........thanks

[@charleshilliard8232]

Freddy what field on you on on simulator?

[@williambooth5504]

I have a phoenix 4 simulator came with DX 5e , what switch or how do I get thotle hold for auto rotations

[@Zepters5]

Yes, there is an important need to put it on a switch ! It's better to get used to the switch and not the keyboard .

[@williambooth5504]

Thanks

[@13mrtraxxas]

Hey Freddy I have a trex 450 and I keep crashing since i try to do tricks above my skill level but it's voting for me if I stay at my skill level and since I'm 15 it's really hard to keep up with the hobby financially and I'm finding it really discouraging any advice?

[@7439norma]

What simulator are you using?

[@beatloop383]

[@x1ver]
