I have been in love with flying ever since a child. A few years ago, I discovered the remote controlled helicopter's world and can't get it out of my system, nor would I want to. Not too long after I started flying scale models, I met Rick on the field and was so impressed with his turbine models. When I asked him about his personal videos, he said he had none. I decided to start filming him and create some kind of documentation of how to go about building and flying a proper rc scale helicopter. I hope you enjoy this video and all the other ones I have available to you on this channel and hopefully you'll subscribe to keep informed with my next video upload. Cheers

Wouldn't a lot of us Nam vets love to see about five or six of these brilliant RC Hueys flying in an Eagle formation with a tree line in the distance?

+Lem Genovese That sounds great.

Kevens where did you buy this Huey helicopter?

@kevens 7 лет назад

This heli was build by Rick who is the owner and pilot.Thanks for asking.

@kevens 6 лет назад

Lem Genovese I have a good surprise for you. Let me know how you like it after watching my new video here . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SLjA6WUrD2A.html

@roglar 8 лет назад

I did really enjoy watching that RC Huey. I much prefer realistic looking RC helicopters that fly in a realistic manner over those RC "acrobatics" helicopters that flies like mosquitos high on acid.

@randomgeminiastronaut46 4 года назад

Yesss i agree so much

@DeepPastry 8 лет назад

Rick has done a truly excellent job finishing up that model. It's a work of art. And the attention to detail?! He integrated the actual switches and lights of the RX into the faux control panels of the cockpit; brilliant.

@kevens 6 лет назад

DeepPastry He did an excellent job indeed. You might want to see this new video I just shot a couple of weeks ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SLjA6WUrD2A.html

@kevens 10 лет назад

Thank you so much for spreading the love about this video sir. When I was filming it, a few people thought I was crazy for going so close, I wanted to expose this beauty and glad real pilots like yourself get to appreciate Rick's creation. One day I hope to take a flight in a real one.

@zero00tolerance 10 лет назад

I really love how the pilot incorporate all the switches inside the cockpit and the engine start up procedure is nice and clean.. what a beautiful machine very scale like. Thanks for sharing.

@tedcox4208 5 лет назад

This is amazing! I was a crewchief In nam and then went to flight school. Ended up flying scouts. Flew uh1h in instrument phase I'll always love the HUEY.

@kevens 5 лет назад

The story behind this helicopter is like no other. I am never tired of hearing stories from former pilots or peeps who worked on them. Thanks for watching the video.

@danwestra57 12 лет назад

nobody appreciates hovering more than someone who is new in rc helies,, this is perfection 5-10-12

@cyborgbadger1015 6 лет назад

That thing has so much presence. Far more than many other turbine helis I've seen since. Can't work out why, but its just amazing.

@kevens 6 лет назад

There are great helis out there, keep your eyes open. Indeed, this one was simply well built, Rick did a great job.Thanks for watching, don't forget to subscribe.

I take those little ones seriously, after all I started that way, a 35 dollar heli was my doorway to the rc world :-)

@miguelsalami 4 года назад

I was waiting for that Huey to start firing projectiles at the camera guy. I bet if filmed at lower angles it would look life size. Absolutely Beautiful RC with a very responsible Pilot. Sounds Like a Big boy & The Soldiers look real in there too NICE WORK MAN. 👍👍👍👍♥❗🇺🇸

@kevens 4 года назад

Thank you Miguel. Rick, the owner and pilot did an excellent job on this bird. I have an other video on the channel you must watch. Rc vs the real thing, the concept will intrigue you. Don’t forget to subscribe.

@edsegar 10 лет назад

I am a Vietnam vet. and was a huey mechanic. I am very very very impressed with your R/C huey.

@kevens 10 лет назад

Thank you Michael for this very precious advise. I can tell you, filming that close was a one time thing and the only reason why I did it aside being a pilot is I believe in Rick's flying skills. I have been in the park with him many times and know how he flies. Filming into the wind didn't help at all with the camera mic, usually it sounds better than that. I read about that 19 year old in NY, that was a very sad story to read. A true lesson for all of us who fly rc model aircrafts. God bless

I love this helecopter! and truley admire your good friend for building such a perfect example of the huey!

@kevens 11 лет назад

Glad you appreciate the work that goes in this bird, according to Rick, it took him a while to build and this bird is huge. Last I spoke to him about selling, I believe he might let it go for 10k, of course for someone who will give it the same kind of love. Inbox me if that price range works for you. One love

@kevens 11 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words, you are kind. After spending years in front of the camera, it would be a shame not to know just a little bit about filming. The next one I film should be better :-)

@pauledstock225 10 лет назад

Hi Kevens...I loved your video, and I will subscribe. I am retired Navy, and back in 1970-'71 I was stationed at a riverboat base in Binh Thuy, RVN...down in the VN Delta, the "Brown Water Navy," where the boats, the Hueys, and the SEALs operated together up and down the river. We were next door to the Huey unit that operated with the boats, and I never got tired watching them lift off in a hover to about eight feet, "taxi" around the other birds and then hover all the way out to the runway, and only then pitch over and take off. This pilot is a master of the hover, and it brought back memories for me. Thank you, my friend. John, Master Chief, USN (Ret.)

@kevens 10 лет назад

Paul, thank you for your service in the military and glad you reached out. Watching helicopters taxi 8 feet around other birds must be a beautiful sight, I have only seen that through videos. Maybe one of these days I 'll witness that. Love and light

@ronaldjones8797 4 года назад

I live about 5 miles from Markham Park. Used to fly there with a dude by the name of Elvis. Excellent 3D pilot. And the guy who owns that heli. Met him a couple of times. Nice video.

@kevens 4 года назад

I wish I lived that close, I’d be out there all the time to fly, my helicopters have been collecting dust. Glad you’ve enjoyed the video, I have a few more heli videos on the channel I know you’ll love. Don’t hesitate to subscribe .

@ronaldjones8797 4 года назад

@@kevens absolutely. I just got back into flying. I have 3 Blade helis now. All electric. There aren't too many heli pilots out there anymore. Drones are the new thing. But the last two times i was out there. There has been more helis out there. I think the craze with drones is dying out. I will check out your channel.

@kevens 11 лет назад

Hard work went into the building of this bird and glad people like yourself can appreciate that. God bless

@kevens 12 лет назад

If not mistaken, I think he got it online. Always good to hear from the peeps who enjoy the details.

@kevens 11 лет назад

Right you are my friend, no one should get too close to these blades while this bird is in fight. As a flyer myself, that was the closest I would allow myself to get in order to bring you guys these close up shots.

@kevens 11 лет назад

I can only imagine how that guy felt. Thanks for sharing your experience Michael. Have a beautiful day.

@coccoborg 10 лет назад

Kinda funny how the gyros and computers on board of today's models are far more sophisticated than what was used on the original helis back in the days :)

Back then people really flew with a different state of mind and abilities.

@khan848419 10 лет назад

the best detailed RC chopper i have ever seen

@kevens 10 лет назад

Thanks for commenting brother man. Rick is the man deserving of all kudos

@kevens 11 лет назад

Thanks for saying this. When I saw this helicopter on the field I had a hard time believing such models existed. I was new at flying, imagine how much powerful of a sight that was for a new pilot who has never seen a turbine rc anything at that point. I am so glad so many people appreciate this video. I had to get very close with the video cam to those spinning blades and it was all worth it :-)

@blkpylut 12 лет назад

My friend, this is by far the best RC video for helicopters I've seen to date!! I used to fly IN the UH1 back at Fort Drum, NY in 2001-2003 as a crew chief and this looks, sounds and maneuvers just like the real rotary wing!! Just amazing!!!

@pandsterandster 12 лет назад

At 6:36 you can really tell how fast those blades are spinning!!! AWESOME!!! These helicopters rock!

@perberge 12 лет назад

Get out of here. This is definitely the smoothest lift off I`w ever seen off a RC helicopter pilot. Had to replay the start up and lift off several times. The sound and movements where soooo realistic and respect for the owner to keep it in a Vietnam war style . Okey I burned my dinner when watching this pilots work,,,so now I have to call for a pizza delivered. Guess I`l ask for a "Huey special" with chutney and Coriander :D Thanks mate

@kevens 11 лет назад

Robert Duvall, haven't seen him in anything as of late, great actor. What happens when a pilot loses radio contact to his or her aircraft?, my guess would be; the last command would be carried out until you run out of fuel if you don't crash before that. This is why it's ideal to be in a designated environment like a flying park. This hobby is beautiful as long as nobody gets hurt. Safe flying.

@kevens 11 лет назад

In my personal experience from flying rc helis, I find it to be more difficult to fly in hover mode. Just like meditation, sitting without moving for a while is no small task, it requires discipline to lay low. There is power and beauty in a hover,flying around is what everyone does and it's easy but fun, specially when one goes high and fast :-)

@sheldonholy 11 лет назад

@kevens A lot of early helicopters used it; The H-13/Bell 47 for instance. Also the H-23 is just one rotary wing craft that used the Hiller mechanism, which is exactly the same as what is on generic model helicopters nowadays. The main idea of the 'flybar' on full size helis was to reduce control loads, eliminating the need for hydraulic assisted controls. It worked, but caused a latency in the controls, which is hardly ideal.
