So you're basing your decision off of a handful of videos and your ill informed opinion about build quality... Good job.

Stop watching cartoons

If you don’t want it to crash then don’t fly it like an acrobatic fighter jet, simple.

I’m interested to know why

@@willthomas3399 r-44 is known for extreme, engineering flaw called "Mast Bump" it might have been fixed with parts as they issued a recall but 5 years ago or so, people were dieing left in right due to mass bump

@@95TBake The helicopter is perfectly safe if you simply flew it without exceeding its limits, also this is the most produced helicopter in the world. The only reason this helicopter has more accidents than other helicopters is because there are more Robinson R44’s flying around in the world than any other helicopter, most accidents are caused by pilot error. Also, since this is a very cheap and affordable helicopter many beginners and flight schools are using it, which increases the risk of an accident by pilot error. And if your worried about mast bumping, don’t fly it like a fighter jet and you’ll be fine. This is a civilian helicopter, it’s not made for doing crazy aerobatics.

​@@95TBakenot a flaw moron. Mart bumping is a phenomenon that can occur with ALL teetering hinge two blade rotor systems. Like nearly all Bell helicopters. Mast bumping is the result of poor piloting.

@@willthomas3399this guy just wants attention. I have many hours in them. Not dead.

Same

That could flood the engine so I wouldn't recommend

It’s a hot engine start technique and also dependant on where you are located globally - assists in starting by avoiding vapour lock.

@@The.Doctor.149all my years of flying injected airplanes and helicopters never heard of starting with the mix in. Always done it like this guy.

Was you able to retain your factory fuel injection with this engine?

I could have kept it, it will probably do just fine to keep the old tbi. I opted to buy the Holley 502-9 replacement tbi, and it's been a headache. Should have done more research. Probably going to end up doing a Holley Sniper and let it tune itself out. Great engine though, I love it

great job typing this comment from your moms basement.

@@antixproductions1234 uh, buddy I hate to brake it to you but I have a modded f-150 raptor with ab 600 horsepower and I am making 2000 bucks a week with forex

@@antixproductions1234 I’m just giving you some suggestions on how to make a good video better

@@lawdawg3740 no you just shit on his edit. No suggestions were given

If you can’t handle the criticism, then don’t make the video hothead@@antixproductions1234

Was uploaded really recently, will play back in low res until it propagates on RU-vid.

Thanks Paul!
