Great video, the crew chief would check the hell hole on startup, where most of your problums would happen besides the tail rotor. That is the best sound ever, if you are a old time vetran you will know what I am takling about. Phil
@WheelsRCool It's an optical illusion. The framerate of the camera's recording and the RPM of the tail rotor match up just so to make it look like it's not spinning. There's a video of that optical illusion happening on the main rotor of a hovering Hind. Trippy, man.
Notice the crew chief looking in the side compartment on start up (looking for flames) then he locks the side door. Always grab the legs on the seat and shake them to make sure they are locked in before you sit down and buckle your self in or you might slid out the door still buckled to the seat.
hey tannerld if you don't mind me asking a kind of stupid question how far does the center wall stick out from the back of the crew area of those hueys I'm trying to make a 1:6th scale replica and need this info.............if you don't mind me asking................

@dave5966 I agree. Love the sound of those things. VERY distinctive. HHC, USATC and FTCKY, 1971.

Two kinds of helicopter pilots, those that flew Hueys and those that wish they had.
