[billydward]

[iwnproductions]

no soccerdude i think it is a model 7 because it is not on a phase convertor

[MaxxFordham]

Heh, sounds like the chopper has just a slight wobble or other imbalance. :-)

[Heyde1979]

everyone who complains about the fire siren or horns needs to get a life

[OfficerMatthew]

Cool! I live in the same town this is located and there is a siren right in-back of my house.

[MaxxFordham]

Ohhh, I would "LOVE" that--a siren RIGHT in back (without the hyphen, even) of my house!

Or right next to my house, or right in front of it! How "LOVELY!"

Well, I do have one right IN my house, but not that big and it's under my complete control.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Great video! That Model 7 sounds nice. :)

[soccerdude7330]

That's not a Model 5, it's a Model 7.

Excellent video!

How do you know?

[soccerdude7330]

The fast wind up gives it away

Model 5 = 5HP Motor, moderate speed wind up

Model 7 = 7HP motor, high speed wind up

[dillonrockband]

i prefer a model 5, i like slow wind-ups. not too slow though.

[murrfarms]

Model 7s don't have 7hp motors, they're typically around 12hp. The amp draw both on start up and running is too high to be a 7hp motor, the readings we've gotten on both Jeb's and Chauncey, GA's suggested the motors were 12.-something horsepower. Same thing with Model 5s too, most had a little over 5hp motors. Only exception is the C-3 1/2, which I think it may truly have a 5hp motor, but I'm not 100% sure as I haven't gotten mine yet, so I haven't gotten any amp readings on it either.

[gatrwrks]

I bet you could imagine hearing that model 5 going off during a tornado warning. :)

[modernmidnight]

I wish. They are only used for fire calls.

[MaxxFordham]

"Only" fire calls? That IS public safety use!

[80fireman]

nice, right by a house lol

[modernmidnight]

People always complain about them.

[80fireman]

let em bitch, can't do anything, its for public safety use
