Newspeedy Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) SOLVED, thx Bear i can not turn off the low rpm switch, it jumps straight forward again (when rotor is started up) anybody else or could it be a button setup at my side? or is this normal in the huey? With DC power applied and N2 within limits (above 6000+/-50 N2 from memory) the Low Rotor Audio switch will spring to the AUDIO position. You can press and hold it in the OFF position, but it will spring right back to AUDIO when released. This is correct behaviour in real life and important to alert you to an engine malfunction. - Bear here you could see my problem You can turn it off during startup to turn off the low rpm audio alarm. It seems that when everything is running the switch is back in the on position. (you dont seem to have to turn it on) You can see it in this dudes vid At about 3 minutes he finds the switch to turn it off. After you increase to full power it seems to be on again, a good thing. At about 4:30 he tries to flick it off again but can't Thx Bear and Vlerkies Edited May 3, 2013 by Newspeedy
MTFDarkEagle Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I would think that this is correct behaviour. You'd want the warning in place for when you actually end up in a RPM out of limit situation right? Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
Vlerkies Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Yeah same here, also saw it in one of the youtube vids so pretty sure its std.

You'd want the warning in place for when you actually end up in a RPM out of limit situation right? thats not the thing i want to say here. you can not move the switch to the off position (when rotor is started up). is that normal?

MTFDarkEagle Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I would think so yes, but given I don't know a whole lot about the Huey, someone who does better chime in if I'm wrong, but it would make perfect sense to me if this is correct behaviour. 1 Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread

Vlerkies Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 JUst checked it now myself on the startup tutorial. When you give power/rpms, as they increase the switch moves itself back to the on position.

Fixxxer46 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 As HuggyBear states, this is what i get from the manual; e) LOW RPM AUDIO/OFF Switch. The LOW RPM AUDIO/OFF switch is on the engine control panel. When in the OFF position, the switch prevents the audio warning signal from functioning during engine starting. Current production helicopters use a spring-loaded switch. When the switch has been manually turned off for engine starting, it will automatically return to the AUDIO position when normal operating range is reached.
leonpo Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I can not find any keyboard/joystick mapping for LOW RPM AUDIO switch Leon
