Enstrom ride
I finally got a few (15) minutes in a turbocharged Enstrom.
Controls heavier than what I'm used to. CHT issue at 4500' two up and 65F Overboost light while hovering Vibration level felt a bit more than my two blade Safari Auto very nice. No VSI but it looked a lot nicer than the Schweitzer tuck and dive of the 300 series. Was able to handle a hover after just a few minutes. Much easier first time than the R-22. This is a heavy bird compared to my Safari. With a turbo charger on my 0320 I think that I could outperform the Enstrom and carry the same payload. Don't think that I'm going to trade my Safari for an Enstrom. News flash!! Canadian Home Rotors, the home of the Safari has been sold. Forecast is for improvements to the Safari which has the potential for being the best small two seater out there with some relatively minor improvements in the QC. |
