Thunderbolt 1000 Chopper Test

Quick run up of my Thunderbolt 1000 chopper on "level 7" (240V). Sorry about the video cutting out early, it was so loud that it maxed out the camera and shut it off on wind down.

i think most of these sirens sound the same... am i wrong?

[murrfarms]

@frickinasshle They really do, especially a lot of the modern, monotone ones. Back in the days of Civil Defense, they were very diverse in both sound and looks, but once CD funding dried up, everyone stopped making all the funky-sounding/looking sirens and started making the same basic design.

how many ports are on a 1000

[murrfarms]

@MrSciencetificsasuke Five, same as a single tone Model 2 (same rotor). One stator port though, obviously lol

[Droideka133]

Doesn't need a rotator to spin anymore!

[murrfarms]

@Droideka133 Nope! Must miss being united with the rest of its head lol

[MrSciencetificsasuke]

@murrfarms thanks

[antiwhoknows]

I think my Model 2 spins better. :P

[murrfarms]

There are a few of it from when I was running that one while the 2T was torn down for a rebuild. Here's one of it doing the evening blast on the deck: /watch?v=ynWoHF8isLE

I haven't gotten the 5 here from Illinois yet, but a friend is coming down for a visit this month from Illinois, and he's bringing it down with him. :)

Yep I have a single tone Model 2-120 as well as the Darley 2T.
