Thumbs up if that gives you a boner.

I wonder if I could get that sound as a ring tone.

Mquiroz90... The "N" versions don't have a tail rotor, and a few other differences. I like the "F" versions with the longer blades for higher altitude performance. All of them I prefer over the Jetrangers.

This must be the sound effect they used for the Batmobile starts!

Yes - its a ground power unit (or GPU) - or in this case a bunch of batteries. It helps to prevent a hot start (928 degrees C for more than 1 second) by providing enough amperage to run the engine up to 15% N1 (8250 RPM) before introducing fuel. This makes sure enough air is moving through the engine to keep it cool during the start process.

nice video. much difference going from the r44 to the 500 ???

@westcoastpighunt Huge difference - just the change in where you sit was a big thing and then the fact that the 500 does not have hydraulics is another big item. I move back and forth between them now with out too much trouble.

Still have and still fly the R44. Not sure if I
will ever get rid of it at this point!
