#286 Learning To Hover - can be Scary Stuff

Kenny Keller walks through learning to hover a helicopter, which he says can be scary stuff. The video mixes studio banter with Halloween promotions and a discount on helicopter training memberships.
Day 286 copy of Kenny. You know what's even scarier than what we did to our studio today is what we did to our studio for the Halloween cell. Let's take a look. And then we're going to take a look at how scary it is learning to hover.
All this work to the new studio, getting it. So beautiful, so cool. And look what you did. We destroyed it. No, not really. We didn't destroy it, but no fun. We had so much fun for Halloween last year. I mean, we had the most fun we've ever had. And going on eight years now, helicopter land, ground school, we had so much dang fun. We thought, you know what? This year, due to we have such a better place with more to do, we decided, let's do it up even better with an even bigger discount than last year. This is scary stuff here. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Here we go.
Ow. And all good fun. This is what it may look like when you first start learning to hover. But don't feel bad because it happens to everybody. You're gonna have a moment or two where it looks good and then all of a sudden you're gonna go, whoa, whoa. And then you're gonna be all over the place. That's because the helicopter acts like a pendulum. Due to that pendulum action, you're going to over control. Because in the very beginning, that's just nature. That's just how it is. What we do as you're learning is we give you the pedals for a little bit and then the collective for a little bit and then the cyclic for a little bit. And then we'll let you start putting those together and you're going to have those moments where it's going to look pretty good. And then again, because of that pendular action, pretty soon you're going to be whoop, whoop. And you're going to be all over the place. Some people only takes a few hours. Some people it might take five or six or seven. Some people it might take even more. So don't get scared and don't stress over it. Just know that you got to keep working through it. And sometimes when you're watching, when you're the instructor outside watching another instructor or watching somebody first getting a lesson, you're like, oh, my God, what are they doing? Oh, my God, what's going to go on? Are they going to crash? It just looks really bad a lot of the time. It's really amazing. So just know that when you're learning how to hover, it Is a little scary at first. Takes you a little time, but you will get it. You just have to stick with it and keep after it. And pretty soon you'll be looking like this. Look at that. You will get there where you have nice hover going, a nice height, stopping, clearing and telling your turn or clearing your turn. This is what it's gonna end up looking like for you once you get a little experience under your belt. So the Halloween sale technically starts tomorrow. But if you're seeing this video, guess what? Early bird special. Like I mentioned, we had so much damn fun last Halloween. My daughter came in and did makeup for me and Heather and we're gonna do some of that stuff again. We just had so much freaking fun at the hogs old hangar. But now we're at the new hangar and with the improvements and everything, it's just freaking awesome. So how do you get the discount? The discount is on yearly or the big professional pilot membership. This is not on the monthly. Sorry, the monthly is so cheap with all the money that you get off, or I'm sorry for all. For no more money than it cost you for the amount of training you get on just a monthly basis. We can't. That would just be so scary. It would give me a heart attack. Can't do it on monthly. But on the yearly memberships and that big professional pilot package, we're beaten. Last year we're doing 33% off. That is a pretty good savings on the yearly, which the yearly saves you over the monthly. But it's a really good chunk of money off that big professional pilot package. And that one includes private, commercial, CFI and instrument. All those courses together. It doesn't expire. It will never expire. So training will be there for you no long. No matter how long it takes. So you know what? I guess you need a code. That code would be Halloween 33 off. So go to helicopterground.com the link is somewhere near my or around this video. Helicopterground.com you take that code Halloween33 off and you type that in that coupon box. And when you do, that will give you that discounted rate.
