First Kamov action in 2019!

This video was recored at the first day of a Ka-26 type rating session for two private helicopter pilot from the UK. They finished it in four days, both of them passed the examiner flight succesfully!

This helicopter was produced in 1976 at Kumertau (Russia), she started her career in the fleet of Aeroflot as CCCP-19668. Later she become UR-19668 and was used for pipeline control in the Kiev region under Spec-Avia titles.

At 2011, Urbán Ltd. bought and brought her to Hungary. She got the HA-HSF registration and started to operate as a crop duster helicopter with HA-MMD and HA-MRN. Her main base now is at Őcsény airfield.

Kamov Ka-26 was invented by N.I. Kamov in the middle of the 1960s, basically for agricultural tasks. It has two Vedeneyev M14-V-26 radial engines with 9 cylinders and 325 hp each. The engine was produced with an iron cooler fan due to the relatively low airspeed of the helicopter, which gives a really unique siren sound as it works.

The video was recorded with a Canon Legria HF-G26. (50 fps, 35 mb/s, MP4, Shutter priority mode, shutter speed: 1/50, gain: 0 db) Show less
