As one that has much experience rebuilding salvaged UH-12E's from the ground up and flying in them of test flights I really enjoyed this. It is hard to beat the sound of that IO540 with the doors off in the Summer time.
Unless I missed it this pilot did not complete the pre take off checks before lift off. No mag check no needle split. I apologize in advance if I’m wrong. I’ve got a 12E myself they’re great helicopters but finding parts is nearly impossible.
Great video always good to see a Hiller flying sounds like that one has a noisy clutch or bearings until more engine power is applied, also great to see The Hiller Aircraft Company starting up again,🙂
Back in the day the next doors son was killed in a Hiller a real good guy in the military. Flying near the Golden Gate bridge his tail rotor came apart they were at 2 thousand feet fell to the ground him and his friend were killed. We had a small park near the house, and they had a memorial set up for Terri D. He was like a big brother to me.
Everyone says the cost to run these per hour is very expensive. So with a well rebuilt UH12. What is the operating cost per hour? It’s so hard to find a simple answer to these online. I’ve tried.
Im not from the US but here in Switzerland the cost of a robinson r22 is around 9 bucks a minute an r44 is around 15 bucks a minute. bigger helis like the h130 b4 cost around 36 bucks a minute. Idk about this one obviously but maybe that gives you sort of a grasp. nvm I just saw your pfp my comment is probably unnecessary. I thought you were new to this. Sorry.
My old man was a mstr. flight test mechanic for many years at the factory. He always said use an airplane if possible as helicopters are trying to beat themselves to pieces.

👍
The UH-12 is an honest helicopter and still one of the best ag ships around. I loved flying them.

Trust me, All hiller helicopters starters sound like that and it is totally fine. Just how Recip Engines work.

I would be more concerned with the fact that the clutch shoes are shot.
👍
This looks like my old spray machine from 20 years ago!
They got there in the end lol👍
They sure did.
Its a my favourite helly
Hiller uh12 the best and safest
Still with explosion engines.
Wow!
👍
Next time try a Push-Start! lol
Haha 👍
I’m hearing starter squalling
😁
Battery problem.
No
It's quite comical to watch it struggle to start. A very neat helicopter though!
I like these old Hiller helicopters
Way to much cranking, killing the starter and batteries, should be another way to bring the oil pressure up.
👍
sounds like a bag of spanners
5,000 pieces trying to tear themselves away from other, typical helicopter.
Yup😁
All flying in formation!
