i may only be 14 but i know a lot more than other people about aircraft and that makes me proud of myself

My first turbine instructor use to make me hold the starter button with my right middle finger (instead of my right thumb) and and keep my right index finger resting on the idle release. Somehow he figured my right index finger would be faster on the release in the event of flameout than my left thumb. I used to hate that.

[jjsandersheli]

Haha i could tell you were about ready to role it off on the second spike! By your had movement ready to retard the throttle. Nice work on being patent i have had many in the same situation go hot!

[marcebenz]

There was a GPU connected to the helicopter???

[raresandrei96]

oo i like this sound :X

[hijyuchi]

よーし！これでジェットレンジャーを飛ばすことが出来るぞーw

[IMFDB]

Is there a Guinness world record to start up and take off a single engine turbine helicopter? In speed?

[adamsb33]

So I have no idea about helicopters, but I heard this one term called the vertical tunnel or "broom closet" once. What is a "broom closet" and what is inside of it. Any answers from anyone who might know what I am referring to on a 206b?

According to a wiki article a Bell 206 Jetranger retails for about $700, 000. Watching another youtube vid on the RobinsonR66 they said it would sell for about the same, $700,000! I would sooner have the Bell:-) Not sure how old the wiki article is though!

[sonofrattler]

Kick the tires & light the fires. Shit starts shaking, pull pitch & away we go! Argh...

[foxtrot789]

Looks like ya almost had a Hot-Start on your hands... Nice vid :)

[devonshyer]

@foxtrot789 haha i think you are the first one to catch that...

[ouronin]

Battery a bit low?

[entouchgraphics]

@devonshyer Yeah, I can barley even see the TOT... Maybe I need my eyes checked. :)

[DannyDad208]

@devonshyer

My note was gonna be how much less "rocking" there is from the Huey (205) and the Ranger (206) that he is starting... The Huey (205) starts to rock around just before its blades get spinning. But, the helicopter is bigger and the blades are much heavier and bigger than the 206 blades.

@devonshyer looked like the tot hit mid 800's or so... not uncommon at all on a start in my experiences in 206

[itsmonti1]

@foxtrot789 How can you tell in the video that he almost had a hot start? what signs do you look for?

[foxtrot789]

@itsmonti1 If you look at about the 35 second mark, you'll see one of the gauges climb rapidly and then sit straight down; that position of the needle is beyond the limits of the T.O.T. (Turbine Outlet Temperature). The two symmetrical rows of gauges on the left side of the screen, 2nd from the top on the right-side row. Or, check out this vid: *youtube.com/watch?v=dMmKHzWbH­2I* :)

[devonshyer]

@foxtrot789 thats were you are mistaken, it was not out of limits for start up, i can go as high as 927 for 1 sec with a 770-926 10 second transiant, thats why i get the big bucks partner

[foxtrot789]

@devonshyer Sorry, should have said 'almost beyond'; I did originally say it was 'almost a hot-start'; wasn't trying to imply you did anything incorrect. :)

[yellowcub86]

@foxtrot789 holly crap i just noticed that too nice

[crferrara]

Hello Devonshyer... I'm a student pilot in Brazil. Is it you who were flying this bird? What helicopter do you usually fly? are you in executive aviation or military?

I fly a robinson 22 hehe...

thanks

[devonshyer]

@crferrara hi there, yes this is me doing the start. i usually fly the bell 206 or the longranger, we are a civillain company that consentrates mostly on mining exploration, forest fires and pretty much anything but military

[kapitalisttas]

bigger chopa less vibration

[Steeyuv]

The red light on the panel - low rotor rpm? (I mean, 'insufficient for flight').

[mistofoles]

Oh, that's a good one! :)

[Ladyariadne357]

My fav chopper - simply adore their start up sound. Orgasmic!

[mifan93]

NICE!!!!

i want to become a pilot so bad, whetever money it takes, luckly im just about done with high school

but im afraid there are no jobs out there for rotocraft pilots

[Elhombresombra]

...made my day... ;-)

[2505672345]

hey dude who owns this bird and who is the pilot . I am a pilot from vanderhoof on a c310

[audigod]

Thanks for the vid man, love the sound of 206s when they start up!

[JoMo91]
