hello how can i contact you i have problems starting the engine
Why did you release the starter after hitting 150°C, you could've opened the throttle
@@Thedoctv He wanted to persevere his starter’s life. I think it would’ve been better to just open the throttle as well. Thank you for checking out the video!
If anyone ever wonders why helicopters are sometimes referred to as ‘choppers’ then just listen to this classic aircraft as it approaches. And it’s so much more impressive in real life.
That was very cool 😎
Great on-Board footage 👍😎
Sick! What were you doing?
.....
Nice start up 👍😎
It really is an awesome sound and recordings never do it justice because it is so deep and powerful that you FEEL it rather than just hear it.
Would love to see the takeoff featuring the instruments. I find the relationship between torque, VSI and N1 pretty intriguing in a take-off scenario. Torque management is pretty neat...
Ooh, I’ll do that next time! Thanks for watching!
I'll letchya'll deliver a fresh made lemon merang pie here to my place when ya talk off, lol🍋🥧😋🤣🤣🤣🤣 fly safe👍🏻
Freakin awesome! Wish that was me flying, lol👍🏻
Nice hangar
Thanks for sharing! Ya'll fly safe😃👍🏻! Sounds like a Bell 206 Jet Ranger powering down! please share more videos😁! Take care
Talk bout being spoiled rotten. . . .sure wish somebody would fly a helo here to my place, lol! Ya'll up for the taking, 🤣🤣🤣 Ya'll fly safe & thanks for sharing😃 looking forward to more videos! Ya'll a living my "disneyland fantasy"👍🏻
Love these videos.
Appreciate it. Thank you for watching!
That guy standing down there at the right next to the CAT skid steer is like, "OH HELL YEAH", lol🤣! Thanks for sharing! that was awesome👍🏻😃
Yep. Lol. When he doesn’t to drive to the airport to fly, we fly his helicopter up to him. Thanks for watching!
That is so freakin awesome!!! Just bad ass all the way around❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥👍🏻😃! Thanks for sharing😃! That Enstrome is jet turbine powered!
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
I'm curious...what happened to Richard S?
He’s still around, he’s just in between helicopters right now. Thanks for watching!
@@hondo500e Right on! Enjoy seeing your videos of our local area and the different helos you get to fly in. One of these days I'll make it to the Julian Pie Company.
Never seen a c with an e front screen.
It’s a pretty rare STC kit. The company that made them didn’t last long. Definitely an interesting look. Thanks for watching!
Puse este vídeo solo para oír el rotor como 40 veces. Jajajaja
There even was a delay when he switched the mags to prime.. Now that’s an old bird.
Correlater keeps it at a flight power with only minor power adjustments.
I find flying much easier with a governor.
This is incredible!!!!! are there any other spots like this in SoCal where they let you land a helicopter?
Not that I know of, but we are always trying to find new places to go though. Thanks for watching!
time to buy a new battery
Yup. It ended up getting replaced the week after. The issue that day was the battery wasn’t even plugged in since the last flight.
Great footage, I like doing off airport landings 👍😎
Crash in Miami R.I.P+
I know!! Such a bummer, so sad that the pilot died.
3:40 Uh oh, looks like ground resonance.
It does! In this case it’s just the “Enstrom wobble.” At high rpms while on the ground in the enstroms they start rocking on the struts. It looks just like ground resonance, however nothing is flying apart.
@@hondo500e But I think to stop ground resonance, you should immediately close the throttle, and to avoid ground resonance, there should not be one skid/wheel on the ground at a time, am I right?
@@greatbritishscarface7464 Yep. If you’re on the ground and it starts happening you can either pick up into a hover if you have the power, because once you get airborne it fixes itself. Then if you don’t have the power, roll off power completely and my instructor said get the blades stopped ASAP. I watched a pilot unintentionally slam an Astar down while trying to land on a cart, it got into ground resonance so he just picked up again and it equaled itself out.
@@hondo500e And another thing, to stop ground resonance when landing, you take back off immediately.
That bell 505 does sound like a bell 206
Basically press the button and pull collective. Wish I had this starter and FCU on all those old Bell’s I flew, that were modular. 😂
Nice catch of this Enstrom 👍😎
Thank you for watching!
Too high initial RPM on engine start. Should be lower than your 2000rpm. I can see the oil and cht were cold. You could increase the engine lifetime by not exceeding 1200rpm on cold start.
Yeah I agree with ya. We had a mechanic that rigged it that way where the RPM sat up at 2100RPM with the engine running and the clutch not engaged. It since then has been fixed and it sits way lower than 2000 RPM now. Also using a new mechanic now so that always helps.
@@hondo500e Ahh - you were on idle and still got 2000rpm? Yeah - good idea to adjust :) Really nice helicopter! Thanks for video!
Such a rare sight seeing a C with an E nose
As a fixed wing pilot for many years I just love the MD500.
It’s an amazing ship. I’m also kind of going down the fixed wing path now, hopefully one day I’ll get back in a 500.
Sweetest sound I ever heard.
Wondering why you didn’t turn on the generator at the same time as the fuel pumps. You want to see your GEN light go out before 50% Ng
Ah. I don’t know. Lol I was just along for the ride as a cameraman. I just have limited astar knowledge.
What is the max N1 % the starter will generate if you continue to motor it without adding fuel?
I’ve seen it get to right about 20% on a good day. When the battery is worn down a bit or the battery was off the charger for a day it’s been about 13%.
Thanks very much for the quick reply! I’m writing a simple turbine simulation so might have some “odd” questions I can’t find online if you don’t mind :)
@@NZ255 No problem! Thanks for watching.
wat did u poke on white device above flight instrument panel?
It’s an old school gps receiver for the Garmin 696. The owner said it was once a top notch piece of equipment. Thank you for watching!
I’ve always wanted to go to the pie factory!
AS355N and AS355NP uses the same engine
Looks (and sounds) like the rotor was partially engaged on startup.
Enstroms are a little bit different airframes. The blades will freewheel once we fire up. But they don’t get up to idle speed until the clutch is engaged. The Enstrom pistons have a manual clutch, a handle that you have to pull up and into a lock to engage.
@@hondo500e Yep, been flying mine for a few years now. Must be a minor build difference…mine blades don’t move until I engage the “squealer!”
@@patrickjennings7362 Haha that’s nice! Where are you located? We’re always looking to see other enstroms flying around.
@@hondo500e Sadly, east coast, very close to DC. I’m moving up to New Hampshire soon and from there to Colorado after I fully retire.
turbine porn!
That Rotor sound really gave me chill
Are you riding with Mike wirth CEO from Chevron?
No sir. This guy just has his own few chevrons.
do helicopter pilots need to have the passenger scratch or pick his nose for him (since both hands are needed for flying)?
Yes.
I miss hearing this sound. Growing up in eastern Washington id see the air force’s UH-1s almost daily but now they’ve all been replaced by UH-72s.
FYI, that’s not a Bell 212. That is actually a retired UH-1N. It was sold as military surplus for the civilian market. Looks like they use it as either a lifter, or a firefighting helicopter. You can tell by the exhaust port on the back, just underneath the Main Rotor. The Bell 212 Twin Huey has 2 engines, hence the name Twin Huey. The helicopter in the video has only one engine, thus making it a UH-1N. No Bell 212, civilian from the factory, with only one engine, was ever made.
Actually it’s a 212 Single Eagle which once was a 212 twin, but has gone through the conversion process. It’s not uncommon for this conversion, I’ve been told. But you are correct no single engine 212 has been sold from Bell. Some one spent a pretty penny converting this machine. Thank you for watching.
Question: Is power limited by max MP since there doesn't appear to be a torque gauge? Also, is the engine rpm set into the green arc and left there, or do you need constant throttle adjustments to keep up with collective demands? Sorry if the questions don't make any sense, and I'm probably not wording them correctly...clueless about helicopters
Enstrom do not use a governor so manual throttle is required, however you can upgrade to a correlator which will twist the throttle for you when raising/lowering the collective which is the next best thing to a governor, requiring only minor adjustments in flight
So cool! where are you flying? the scenery is beautiful!
Thank you for watching! This is in Santa Ysabel, California.
Cool
Thank you for watching!
