When I hear the sound of this helicopter it reminds me of my youth when I was a parachutist and we jumped from these helicopters in Venezuela when this country was a democracy in the seventies and I will never forget the sound of these helicopter blades. some pleasant memories of this time.
I think they do it to prevent a tail boom strike on initial start-up. The need to get the RPM's up so that the main rotor will go level immediately rather than slowly spin around pitched down possible causing a boom strike. At least thats what I have always thought. I could be wrong though.
That rod is called a "stinger" and is designed to keep the tail rotor from striking the ground in extreme landing configuration as in a rapid combat insertion with the nose of the aircraft pointing nearly straight up (or at least as it felt from the door gunner's position). It was also used as a tie-down point for the main rotor when the craft was not being flown.
@reverse thrust - I'm pretty sure it was done for ideology reasons - nothing more. IIRC it was Helen Clark's Labour government that did it. The Air Force was hardest hit but at least the Navy still has a couple of frigates and we still have the S.A.S. Thank you for your service.
Ya,its called the Stinger as in coming too-hot into LZ(Landing zone) it prevents a Tailrotor strike!! As FYI:the Huey has one piece of wood and it's in the tip of stinger as a "Plug" didn't know that did you?As also used as something you stand on while(inspecting tailrotor)doing a ""Pre-flt or a Post flt""
holzmichel200 Der Huey hat ein Rotorsystem mit sehr viel Spiel. Beim Startup kann es also durch die (noch) fehlende Beschleunigung und Aufwärtsbewegung der Rotorblätter dazu kommen, dass diese (vorallem bei starken Winden) nach unten gedrückt werden bzw. nach unten wandern. Man hält das vordere Blatt also fest, bis man ca. bei 25% Leistung ist. Dann lässt man los und das Blatt wird sofort schnell beschleunigt und die Gefahr ist "gebannt". Also nicht nur Show!

I just love that sound when it grabs the air and takes off...

Für mich der geilste Hubschrauber ....
Thanks mate 👍🇳🇿
Agusta Bell "irochese" il migliore velivolo leggero della storia
The balance on the engine and blades must be phenomenal. Any of those parts fly off it's a very bad day in a fraction of a second

He is holding the blades to prevent a gust of wind caching them causing mast bumping.
Nothing to do with the "Heat Plume" or cutting the tail boom.
Beautiful the UH-1H. Very good video. Saludos
Thats Music !!!!!!!!!!
It'll be a sad day when that thump thump is no longer heard in NZ.
why do they always hold the main rotor when they start the engine?
You're right GeorgeBonez. If it's windy, they'll hold the blades to keep them from flapping.
When we went out on the town to pick up chicks you either said you were a dolpphin trainer at Seaworld or a loady on a Huey. LOL :-)
Toll wie früher,
Why was he holding the rotor blade?
I hear you Kiwis have retired these birds from your Air Force. Have any been slated for museums?
TheKilroyman no e company brought two of them and other companies brought them to so only a few did

Can any1 tell me what is that rod sticking out near the tail rotor for
thanks
a217andy tail strike, prevent tail strike from damaging the tail rotor.

Also 2 tours Vietnam as CrewCheif and never held the "Main blade"as guessing it looks Cool? hmm......
สุดยอดครับ..ชอบๆมากๆ
..........Whoa....Wait...........Wait!!!!!............My glove!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New Zealand - cheers.
you have to see my video it is a apache who takes off but the huey is beautifull

honor and salute to americans militarys services...
the Bell UH-1 Huel Iroquois helicopter need 4 blades on the top...
not 2 blades
thank alvin...
4 blades on the helicopter is better than 2 blades
2 blades is better than 4 a 412 doesn't even compare to a uh1h in lifting ability
Un gran trabajo de uno de mis Helicópteros favoritos. Gracias por compartir. Saludos. th-cam.com/video/g5gOvPrC6dA/w-d-xo.html

มันเป็นรหั ((เงิน))
Weiß nicht warum der Bordmechaniker den Rotor festgehalten hat ergibt keinen Sinn also show
