Summit Helicopter's S-58T doing a startup, taxi, and takeoff from Whiteman Airport in Pacoima, CA to go do a lift job. This is the old 'Screamin' Mimi' from the TV show, Riptide.

Amazing power difference between this turbine and the old piston versions
@MickB2356 жыл бұрын
RichieT5 Probably nearly twice the power with the pt6 twinpac for about a quarter of the weight roughly guessing

Awesome video! You know you're helicopter is huge when it has steps to a second floor and a sliding window. ;)
@jamesblair84365 жыл бұрын
Heli PadUSA it was originally designed that way. As the original version had a piston engine ( radial) WW2 type...

Oh man! That jet engine revving up! And the Metrolink rolling in the background too. And the so cute tiny toy helicopter the R22. Awesome video clip! I have to admit, even being a teen in the 80's I have never seen this TV show. Riptide. I may have to check it out.

Oh, that was way too easy. The old radial engine version took 10 minutes just to get all the cylinders firing. It was much more dramatic!

Surprise, surprise, a turbine! I was waiting for the radial engine start-up show, smoke & noise.

Wow, that rotor transmission hooks up fast.
@rubidug7 жыл бұрын
He is holding the rotor brake until the second engine spools up and there is sufficient hydraulic pressure (to operate cyclic, etc). So when he releases it, the rotor system quickly catches up...

Oh I see, I thought it was a single engine like the Choctaw.

@@rubidug was this converted from a piston engine? It looks like the ones from the 60s that were piston driven.

very similar airframe to the British 'Wessex' Heli, one my all time favorites. Guessing the 58 has GE engines? I know the Wessex had RR ones...possibly 'Gnomes'? not sure
