[Kurttermansen42]

[bobstereo]

Great Vid but couldnt use you in a quick get away.haha ...joke

[oceansdoor]

Thanks! Great Video! Except, that it only took nearly 5 hours to upload on my Commodore 64

[robbopilot]

@oceansdoor Sorry about that. At least you saw it in high definition.

[ganster205]

The Hughes 500 come stock with the lower skids the higher on are just a extra it just a bit of ally tube that bolt on the the base of the old strut and it makes it long

[bsg1206]

Why does it take so long before it lifts off?

[colin5577]

I can't figure out why it should make such a difference, but I so much prefer these on the higher skids. My all-time favourite chopper, and I've been fortunate enough to fly one. Amazing bit of kit.

Charlie Model. '68-'74. Followed by the Delta Model. '76-'81.

[696969razor]

Sorry Guy's

That isn't a 500D but rather a 500C model

The difference that is most distingushable is the tail rotor or rather whats on top of it . The D model has a T Stabilator (or it is on top of the vetical )as to the C , it has a sideways V stabilator (or it protudes on a diagonal angle from the tail

[rockdrew]

[robbopilot]

Yes it is the 500D model with lower skids

[aligerous]

And 4 main rotor blades?

[Sutho404]

@robbopilot

No its not. its a 500C model.

[ganster205]

@Sutho404 Its actually a Hughes 369A lol

[Sutho404]

@ganster205 Umm.... no its not lol

[ganster205]

@Sutho404 Yeah its is i work on these everyday mate seach it up hughes 369A thats it real model name when it came from the factory it also what they call them in the maintance manual and all part numbers for this heli start with 369A realy the flight manual for one first page hughes 369A series

[Sutho404]

@ganster205 wasn't that the model name of the first 500c's the ones that served in vietnam, then hughes upgraded them a bit and called it 369c. And the 500 is the civilian nickname for them

[ganster205]

@Sutho404 your partly right the OH-6 is the Military one and hughes made the 369A not a 369c and after MD bought hughes they changed themm from 369 to 500 people got confused and just called them 500s and made it MD500C or a MD500d and so on and people just call them hughes 500s cause they dont know the full story but thats pretty much it its hughes 369a or a md500c lol same thing different name just cause md bought hughes

[Sutho404]

@ganster205 haha oh well I was wrong, but I am right about 1 thing, the 500 (or 369) is a bloody good machine

[ganster205]

@Sutho404 hahah wouldent say there that good lol there are one of the best machines to fly but a cunt to work on lol

[Sutho404]

@ganster205 lol a bit too tight for you ay, haha

[ganster205]

@Sutho404 haha bit to tight for everyone in the back of it you have no idea how much of a hassle it is to fill the transmission that takes about 5 litures of oil and you can only put it in syringe at a time or you will over fill it and it will go everywere in the cabin lol cant complain its better than working on bell 47's lol

[Sutho404]

@ganster205 haha i dont no what their like to work on but i no that their a pussy's version of a hiller uh-12

[shapipple12]

wow this thing looks so weird with low skids

[kenpalmer1965]

How do they start those things? They are so neat to watch and lsiten to. I too love the sound of the turbine at startup. Great video!

[Kopihucky]

much like a car engine except the air and fuel mixture is different... way more compressed air and a higher burning temp of the fuel...

the compresser starts up, compresses the air then fuel is introduced 0:33 is ignition

[sb55mv]

I strongly disagree with that comment, I think the cameraman did a great job, just a big pitty about the wind on the mic spoiling an otherwise lovely sounding Turbine Engine.

I thought the zooming was just right, and he captured the pre-lift off balance on the skids too, great timing.

I would like to see another making of this, but on not such a windy day.

Thanks for taking the time to up-load it for us all to enjoy, and a special thanks for making the High Quality version available too.

[kenns9]

boy i hate hi speed vid cameras..doesnt blur the rotors :(

[Steeyuv]

Pretty good pilot. If only the cameraman had half as much of a clue...

Vids like this are great, if you're zoomed on the cockpit right from hitting the button to lifting the collective. Then a wide for the departure.
