Then once ur over the helipad, you just adjust the collective and it lands beautifully and parallel with the ground, putting all wheels on the pad at the same time.
Its impressive too.

I love landing this way with any heli that has wheels. With a littlebird i have to land vertically because those skis always tend to stick like magnets. Even flying low they're deadly, if you touch the ground at all you'll almost flip, compared to the Cobra which can literally drive along the ground at full speed. I don't want the littlebird to ski along the ground or anything, but their landing skis are just terrible when landing.
