What Happens When Someone With No Experience Tries To Fly A Helicopter 🚁🤢 

"Not a helicopter, this is an airplane " 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did my first Hovering over a toilet at well used gas station ⛽ it saved my life lol!!

"A real leg up!" I about fell out of my chair.

Fellow Helicopter pilot here. Your chopper is a beaut! I am particularly a big fan of the Hughes 500, especially the D and E series, but also love the MBB Bo 105. I can vouch for Heavy D's comments on the hovering aspect. Once you learn how to do it, it's second nature, but sometimes you need the "Hover Fairy" to tap you on the head during your training and suddenly it all makes sense. Key is ...small inputs, don't stir the pot! It's like trying to balance a ball bearing on a sheet of glass. You also want to avoid dynamic rollover at all costs as if it happens and you pass the COG then your probably not coming back from that.... flying a Heli is harder than it looks, believe me. Heavy D, You have an amazing range of skills! I only discovered your channel a week ago and I have been watching what you do. Amazing work and great quality video's. Cheers from Oz

As another Pilot I really love hearing someone else sharing about there experience and part of aviation!!!

"I can't personally fix this helicopter because the law won't let me" *Hands covered in grease* *Cut scene* "Loose wire"

“This is a helicopter, you can tell it’s a helicopter because of the way that it is” 😂😂 these guys are comedy gold.

As a retired A/C mechanic that has spent countless hours out in the gulf of Mexico living and working offshore, working on numerous makes and models of helicopters, the Bo-105 is my all time favorite. Yours is a beautiful machine and brought back great memories. Thanks.

WHO NEEDS SCIENCE CLASS WHEN WE HAVE HEAVY D TEACHING US ABOUT AIR DENSITY??

That was by far the best tutorial I've seen in awhile. Just loving this channel. This side of you guys is just as good as the build side. The way you talk to people says alot. Super fan here. Keep it up. 10 million here you come.

Nice to have an aviation family community! Thanks to them for their help.

Being a private pilot myself, I extremely loved this video man. I fly mainly Cessna 182's with the CAP AirForce auxiliary. We do search and rescue, damage assessment, reconnaissance. You explained everything very thoroughly and professionally, you fr could be an awesome instructor. Helicopters have a lot of the same round dial(steam gauges) that fixed wing planes have, more than I thought! I'm used to G1000 system with a few backup round dials. Do they make a Garmin 1000 or foreflight for helicopters that you know of? One of my dreams was to be a medivac pilot but didn't persue it because of the hour requirement you need to have would take forever and tons of money without joining military. One day I'm going to get my heli license and own a helicopter, for sure. Keep it up Heavy D team. Y'all guys are down to earth and just plain awesome.

I fly in helicopters every day for work it’s the best part even when we get stranded offshore

"Not an AP Mechanic", "has the parts onsite", greasy hands. "Loose wire" :) Love it!

Probably the best video on how things work I’ve seen! You broke this down Barney style for us non helicopter knowing idiots! Great job!

This is awesome. I was happy to see this video as I’m currently getting ready to apply to SUU to be in their helicopter pilot program.

Loved the old school intro! I think it’s awesome that you share passion and enthusiasm for helicopters with those around you.

Being able to chill with you guys would be so amazing would be one hell of a day you guys keep on keepin on

1:28 is better than any pre flight briefing I've gotten for helicopter safety on any military flight. Keep up the good work.

Thanks HeavyD from an aspiring student helo pilot and A&P. Love the thoughtful fix. Also love the simplified flight and hover insights.

I love that you're a drifter after hanging out with Cleeter once lol

Insane how fast your channel is growing. Keep it up Heavy!! Your vlogs are freakin awesome!

I like how Heavy D takes the time to explain the geography we have in Utah. He's not joking when he says that sand will trap you. It can be like a giant black hole that swallows your tires in a second.

20 years in the Army working and then flying helicopters, now im out and trying to find a way to feel that void. About to start building an airplane but man what I wouldn't give to be lucky enough to do something like this. Cheers to you and your success!

"Just when you think your friends with somebody" - Diesel Dave Lmao

17:20 count the scars!! Lol. A man who works with his hands for sure.

Really disappointed CLEETUS wasn’t involved here. 😂💯😂💯🤣🤣

THAT was thee best lesson i have ever had about flying a Helo....never had anyone else explain that before in any video or real life. Much respect!

Dam I’m starting to get annoyed by the guy that calls himself the bad boy

500K....SO CLOSE!!! TOYS COMING AGAIN!!!🏍 🏎 🛻 🚁

“Loose wire”!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Covered in grease!!!!! Hahahahahaha

Thanks for putting this together. Looking at getting a new rating or two this year and this is making me lean toward rotorcraft!

Why was my reaction to the title: "oh crap why did he let cleetus fly a helicopter?"

I wanna see heavy D with Mike Patey and Cleetus. That would be an insane combo

The VHS format was gold.

I love how your everyday life is still things most people never experience. 😂

I've always had a fascination with helecopters ... Since I was a kid, as soon as I see that chopper I'm clicking on it and I'm GLUED to the screen!!!.... love it guys... My favourite so far is you taking us to mars 😲11/10..... BIG LOVE from NEW ZEALAND 💕 GOD bless you and all your loved ones guys!!!!......

“Don’t tel him my feet are on the seatss🤣🤣”

As a total gear head and fight enthusiast that was really informative. Thanks D!

That blue sky in these videos never seizes to amaze me. I’ve been to Colorado multiple times and seen that sky in person, but it will never get old for me to see.

would love more videos like this, aviation is festinating especially helicopters this was really awesome please keep it up

As soon as it started out like a Sporty's video I laughed. Good one!

Love the boat padding in there it’s so perfect

Cool content. I like seeing people do sort of everyday normal use stuff with helicopters, rather than the usual taking a flight lesson / learning to fly stuff. Also cool intro with the mock tutorial.

I learned more in this video than I have ever learned in school 😂

Mate, just awesome. I never comment on videos but this is great. I was the youngest person to fly solo around the world in a single fixed wing, that went well but I then survived a bad crash after an engine failure on takeoff in a vintage biplane. Diagnosed a paraplegic, I managed to get back to walking somewhat okay, back to certain fixed wing flying but learnt to fly choppers as an incomplete paraplegic. I love rotary. This video will inspire a new wave of pilots. I’d love to bring the Super Cub across from Nashville and say g’day. Do you live near the Patey’s?

Brother this was awesome..Im a fixed wing pilot and been an A&P for over 25 years ( mostly on helicopters) and enjoyed the way you showed and demonstrated this

Such a cool video and super informational. Ive done a couple rotary lessons but more recently i've become an FPV pilot for drones. Not saying flying drones are even remotely close, but like you said any change in speed or direction is a combination of moves of a couple things. Tough to initially learn and get the feel for, but damn its so much fun once you get it all flowing together and youre just flying by feel. Awesome vid man

“Not a helicopter, this is an airplane” I’m dying over here dude tooo perfect 👌

two things you dont wanna hear together in any situation...helicopter and "jump pack" 🤣😊

Fascinating thanks for sharing this. While I have flow fixed wing aircraft I have never explored rotary and always wanted to know and understand the control differences. Thanks Heavy D!

This video is amazing just to have an understanding of how helicopters work is a blessing thank you heavy D

Damn, Clicked on this expecting to see a giraffe drifting a chopper,,,,,

That Heli isn’t exactly the best to try to hover so it’s a testament to how good he is

Thanks Heavy D! Great video, I’ve always been curious as to how a helicopter flies and how the different controls are used. I remember when I was younger a guy having an expensive gas powered rc helicopter and I’ve been told that both them and real helicopters are the hardest things to learn how to fly. I don’t know how true that is but not even a minute into his flight after taking all kinds of shit about how good he was and he could fly a real helicopter if he wanted to and then his expensive toy smashed into the ground and pretty much shattered into an unfix able wreck that if it had been a real helicopter he would be around ever again to tell any stories. It’s obvious you’ve spent a lot of time learning how to fly your helicopter and I’m sure it took a lot of time just learning about the controls and many things before you were even aloud to fly with an instructor by your side. Even the most experienced pilots will tell you there are so many factors involved to keep you safe and not all situations can be predicted. I’ve heard of something when your rotors and blades just loose lift and you begin to fall from the sky, that has to be one of the scariest things ever. Have you had any scary situations? It must be the best feeling to be able to fly and see things from the perspective of the drivers seat. You are an amazing person and you inspire me to want to be better and learn more. I’ve watched those guys with the backpack machine hang gliders and thought that would be so cool to do. I know it’s something completely different but something more attainable for someone like me. Thanks for taking the time to share some of your knowledge and a lot of your time. I truly appreciate it. Take care and stay safe and healthy! Have been watching your channel any chance I get catching up on the videos I’ve missed. Thanks again and can’t wait for the next video. If your ever in upstate NY I’d love to meet you and everyone else. Take care man

I like that you actually use your helicopter, all the videos with it are awesome! I’m glad it doesn’t sit around and collect dust all year. Would be awesome to go for a ride!

I was hoping Heavy D was going to give a little love to Cleeters Galaxy.

The thumbnail makes me think about how stradman flying it 😂😂😂😂

I have appreciation for the fun humor behind the old school tutorial though and enjoyed it! :)

I love watch Dave’s videos. They are so awesome. Also like when he partners up with stradman. I think that’s awesome

Man I can't even explain how cool it would be to be able to spend a day, weekend, or whatever with y'all! As a single father my life is so repetitive and mostly boring. Seeing the stuff y'all do is incredible to me!

I’ve been watching you guys for years but, only when I heard about the accident you guys had and your friendship I’ve decided to subscribe. What you guys have it’s so amazing and special, I’m rather new in US and this made me miss my best friend for back home...PS , tell your grandpa that I can use an guardian angel

Dude this is the best content you made on YT. It's awesome man! Loved it Please please please make more of this type of comedy. It's priceless bro! Big love from the UK

the skits and comedy are gold!

I wanted to fly helicopters when I was younger. I was prepared to go to school for it and was talked out of it by so many people. Still regret never doing it.

One time I flew a kite. So that’s pretty cool.

I thought you where cool solid stand up guy before! I had no idea you owned and flew a 105! I am a helicopter mechanic and have Lots of experience and flight time with the 105, your description of the flight controls and how the the bird flies where on point! Hats off to you my friend!

Every video you make looks so exciting !! Love watching…

Heavy D and Diesel Dave were those kids in elementary who refused to wear coats in the winter to school. The sun might be shining, but I know it's still cold in this video, because I live in Utah.

I've been going through ground school for the past 3 weeks to get my private license. If you've never flown before, it's a lot like riding a motorcycle for the first time. It's scary and liberating all in one

It Looks like you boys are really doing great things! keep up the good work looking forward to seeing what's next !

This was one of thee best How To vids I’ve seen!! Great Job!!

Damn he taught me better about the helicopters than my teachers did in school

This will help me once the Zombie apocalypse happens and I have to fine a chopper 😂😂

WoW that was awesome. Brought back memories of all sorts of videos like that in school where everything was super dumbed down. I could defiantly tell you were having a hard time doing that.

I always wanted to fly a 105. I flew the 117 and loved every minute. The rigid rotor can make that 105 dance.... Beautiful!! Great choice for a toy in the garage!!

Just get your A&P lisence it’s easy as hell I did the 14 month course 6 years ago. It would be very beneficial in your case!👊🏻

ETL: The old Vietnam pilots would teach us new guys to skillfully ease the Huey forward gently reaching ETL thus using less power making it possible to lift more weight off the ground. (The Huey's performance is much more restricted than a Blackhawk.)

Its amazing how you have to really pay attention to the weather before any flying. So is true with lighter than air. Great tutorial on how to fly a helicopter...and no, like flying a hot air balloon, its not easy at all.

D !!! You the man !! You are flying one of my favorite chopper BO105. I did the whole ground school for rotary flying back in the day, but never had the chance to really get off the ground. For a young guy who's starting a family, I had too much on my plate. Anyway, God has blessed me in many ways. He has blessed me with the same job for 36yrs and 2 wonderful boys. Someday I will come visit UT ... stay tuned D 🤙be safe 🙏

6x6 got stolen , now he is giving a tutorial on how to steal his Helicopter haha

Damn the urge to somehow get and fly a helicopter is real

Man... I had to drop a comment over heavy d in the beigh tux. That whole part I was dying of laughter. Thanks to all you guys.

Thanks for the lesson brother.

If I owned a helicopter I would tell everyone to “get to the choppa”

Ok, inquiring minds want to know,- did Heavy D get the 80's suit at: Centerville DI, SLC DI, or was it a find in the Gardners' warehouse treasure hunt??😜

Pretty cool to see what my old "office" looks like now. I flew N131AE for an EMS company located in AZ, with that ship based in Casa Grande from 1999-2000. I have fond memories of the 200 + hours I have in that ship and really like the red/black paint scheme you're running. Enjoy!

I went to helicopter school I love how you're going into decent detail about how things work on the helicopter you're really awesome guy really great content thank you brother

If they steal my identity, they will call and offer me money to take it back.

I was raised by an Army Vietnam vet pilot. Taught me to fly very early. Sadly, I never could get motivated to get my license. Listening to your instructions reminds me so much of my uncle. All the terms and everything. Always so calm when flying and teaching. Fun stuff!! Thanks for the vid!!

I love this this video looks easy when you know what you are doing. Heavy D is truly a multi skillde guy

I love this stuff! Aviation was my first career... Keep more of this type coming!

I bet he Prob changed starter anways but covered his ass with the speech lol and made it look like a wire

“Loose wiring” just happens to have a starter with him though 🤔

Love watching you guys

Cross training is such a group improvement especially in the line of work you do, when anyone can jump in and work any of the equipment available is such a valuable tool to mitigate risk and increase success. Thank you for sharing such valuable information.

I'm one of the lucky ones that get to fly a helicopter for my career Currently a air ambulance pilot

Loose wire, or starter motor and didn’t want FAA to know he replaced it himself. Lol

Omg i spit my coffee out at the beginning of this vid that was hilarious! Heavy D for president!!!!!

Dude, drop the corduroy....AAAAHHHHH. There we go, rocking the Brodozer.
