it's so you don't have to glance down at the turn coordinator?

It's to tell you what the wind is doing.? can't believe no one told you this in two years.

I own this video. It is extremely through (and modern 2008) and great learning material. Looking to pickup the advanced series.? If you are going to learn to fly rotor-craft, It's a must for your learning library.

It lets the pilot know if they are slipping or skidding (effectively not turning properly). If they are turning properly, the strings will be even. In an airplane, it's called an inclinometer or slip/slide indicator, used to indicate a proper turn in an? airplane.

They are trim strings. They? obviously let you know if you are in trim or not.

I sincerely believe I gave Don Fairbanks the idea? to do this... I used to record my flying lessons... and preflight checks. So, I found it very ironic that less than a year later... he? appeard in Sporty's first videos. Wonder if Sporty's would honor me by paying for my more advanced helicopter ratings? I? still have original video tapes to prove it. Maybe I shoud contact Sporty's? I mean this was their first video like this, then they went gang busters.

thumbs up? if you think rob scares you

@jaysk8er Thanks for your detailed reply and all the useful information; particularly about IFR. My original question was about which was more? physically fun to fly. As I said in a later comment, for me, there is a lot of emotional pain behind that simple question.
By: jaysk8er. on 28 Oct 10, 00:55:31
It kind of depends on what you want. Helicopters are more much much more free going anywhere, anytime and setting down pretty much anywhere you want, but limited in that they aren't as fast and questionable in instrument flight (arguable, but I for? one would rather fly IFR in a fixed wing). For me, Heli's are the only choice, but I am planning on getting my private and instrument in fixed wing just to have that option and knowledge.

No,? he said it "reduces power to the main rotor" which is 100% correct since R22's use a correlator and governor.
By: thewairrior. on 21 Sep 10, 23:45:30
if your talking about the string in 3:25 ish, my guess is its? a turn and slip indecator
By: kodi944. on 14 Sep 10, 05:42:15
its so you can measure the? relative wind.
By: locomex713. on 25 Aug 10, 00:36:42
do ALL helicopters have that 4 limb steering system? im talking? like the apaches and those military helicopters?
By: myrandomspaces. on 07 Jun 10, 16:46:42
to show your side slip. like in a car when you turn to the right you lean to? the left. bottom line just to make should that your turn is coordinated.

@BrooksWeg Thanks for your reply mate. It was a big help. My question may have sounded simple, but believe me, there is a lot of emotional pain behind me asking that question. I honestly thought no-one was going to respond. But you did. Whoever you are, wherever you live, God bless you.?
By: BrooksWeg. on 02 Jun 10, 01:00:41
It's this? much more fun ------->FUNFUNFUN Hope this helps.

i? got my poit lisn not to long ago
By: cameronmoj. on 10 Apr 10, 20:43:44
Is it more? fun to fly rotary wing than fixed wing? And if so, how much more fun? Can someone tell me?
By: Testacojones. on 31 Mar 10, 07:07:46
Is there to let you keep the nose straight ahead, in case of sidewind or relative wind you'll know what pedal to push. We fly looking out? the cockpit and glance inside to make sure everything is ok.
By: Testacojones. on 31 Mar 10, 07:00:46
I'm a helicopter pilot since 1996 and unless you had actual training in a helicopter by a pilot helping you control it you wont be able no matter what. To fly a helicopter you need to know how to become one with it and get that "feeling or balance". You need to keep your eyes on the horizon and outside the cockpit to learn? this. Get your first hour at a school, it will be less than $300 in a R22 and you'll see how wrong you are.
By: MrDriftking23. on 31 Mar 10, 01:18:57
your wrong in away if you know the basics before you jumped in you could fly and today laws requires training but you cant learn the basics form a text book or taking BS test you learn from actually doing it a skate board is more diffrerent then flying you dont have gauges on a skate board the balance comes from U heli balance comes from gauges I know for a fact i can fly this heli?
By: Testacojones. on 30 Mar 10, 23:31:23
No, you will crash. In a Helicopter you wont be able to do anything but crash it before is even airborne, you need to learn to balance yourself and the machine the same way you need to in? a skateboard, mono or bicycle... It will take you many hours of practice before you can master hovering.
