anyway, in case if someone missed KC's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLSYo_YDVVk

(it's 40 min)

whats this?

Kaman K-MAX steering without any hydraulics

Just cables

neat

I love how the creator made it totally basic and only then added hydraulics

Everything except engine can fail in this heli and pilot will be able to control and land it

All other systems are non-vital to its operation

@Engineered Eldritch Catgirl it's a good long form video series from a surviving member of old-school youtube atheists

i see

if you have been following "real peer review" on twitter, then this might be to your tastes

i do watch a lot of TL;DR's videos

Fun fact: Sikorski went out of his way to cockblock Kaman at every step

lol

seriously?

They could not bear that their ex-employee became successful with his crazy ideas

Very very petty

Kaman was exceptionally smart for his position in sikorski engineering team, and his superiors were rather salty that he is smarter than they are

< knows nothing about helicopters ... I can't even re-assemble a bicycle

After a while of abuse Kaman left sikorski and founded his own company, made his passion project a reality

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk0O95K__to

He secured the funding through US military for a promising project, and made a prototype in his garage

But after this prototype success the salt levels of sikorski went through the roof and they lobbied just about everyone to not give kaman their time of the day

Imagine being so much of a handy boi you build this in your garage out of your own pocket money

The opening clip of that looks like they have a handle on the basics of the magflip.

These uniforms will be quite adequate I do say so myself

kek

magflip is cool

It's a shame you can't do it with AK

But then again with AK you get to do the banana chop

Ugh I wish they had uploaded something in the past 5 years

ded channel with so much quality content

"But they only uploaded 11 videos"

YEAH AND THEY'RE BASICALLY ALL GOLD

They quit while they were at their peak

>> wise

Creator of Ghost in the Shell series refused to do sequels because he didn't want to try and challenge his peak creation btw

All later works are made by other people in the spirit of the original
