Great start up video of what is in my opinion one of the best looking and sounding helicopters ever made. Used to watch these fly out of RNAS Culdrose when I was a kid on holiday in Cornwall.

@jettech7 Have to admit its alot different to starting up an R44 raven 2 :)
-
@jettech7 not to mention STEALING it

enjoyed it very much. thanks!

@jettech7 Indeed, it is pretty simple when you know what you are doing. You don't wan't a non-pilot trying to fly that thing...
-
@jettech7 i agree fully, bringing an aircraft like these to life is part of the appeal!...today's modern systems take all the fun out of the anticipation before, finally, leaping in to the air

it's just the woollen string mounted on a little stalk on the outside of the windscreen centre pillar - used as a visual aid for flying in balance. Twin Squirrel has it as well.

@camafly1
all ex mod helicopters, enter civilian life on a permit to fly. this permit states you are not to carry passengers, but are allowed to take crew , eg for ground handling. so granny or children, etc would not be allowed.

It looks like a pain in the ass to start. It would be nice if you only had a key with an Chrysler Gear Reduction Starter. So many buttons and knobs to operate just to start the damn thing.

@themattster1991 its only to prevent brain dead mornons from starting it?
thats why it appears to be a pain ,but to most people its a simplegto do

How much does a Gazelle cost?
SheepJumpFish 3 years ago
for an ex mod about 150,000. but you can't carry passengers.
a genuine one will set you back 250,000-350,000 depending on hours and condition.
if you want one contact martin wood helicopters. and if you want to see lots of gazelles in one place call in at breighton air field. a chap has 6 there.
