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.
A company called Spitfire Aerospace made them. I’m not sure if they are still in business. The rotor head cap smoothes out the helicopter in flight. You gain another 5 knots of airspeed as well. Not sure if there are any cons to them. The owner of the Enstrom loves it!
Awesoke video of that Enstrom helo. Looks like a 7:1 gear ratio between the main & tail rotors. Fly safe!
Nice!!
Go Richard Go
3:40 Uh oh, looks like ground resonance.

@@hondo500e And another thing, to stop ground resonance when landing, you take back off immediately.
Hi I see you got a cover on the rotor head . Where do you buy it and what is the pros and cons . It looks need
