N500KY - Hughes 369E (MD500) Taking Off

[@patflyme]

I was lucky enough to fly OH-6’s for many years. Simple, fast, maneuverable and a blast to fly Slicks, Guns and 47’s.

The first 20 seconds of this video portray the coolest sounds known to mankind.

It always reminds me of a gas stove top. Tick-tick-tick-tick……whoosh……🔥

Love the Hughes 500 and actually got a front seat ride in one, but as a SEL pilot I wonder why it takes so long from engine start to takeoff. Is it the turbine?

[@westerlywinds5684]

It has to do with pressures / engine temperatures no doubt.

Because you gotta let this little beautiful chopper start up for 2 minutes and run up for 2 minutes that’s why my friend 👍

☠BLACK BARON☠ 0:02 Approx. 35 seconds spool-up time starting with a very very low rpm. I wished my RC scale helicopter could manage that ... technically.
