Question for MD500e pilots

[Reco]

Hi
Working on a project and looking for some information from MD500e pilots

1- At full power before take off what is the torque gauge reading
2- what is the average torque gauge reading in the hover
3 what would the torque gauge read at full collective up
4 RPM at 60% what would the torque gauge be reading


Thanks

Rhys

1. 22 to 24 psi
2. tell me the weight of the heli and ambient conditions
3. You cant do that without over torquing the machine
4. 12 psi

Hi Hughes500

Thank you

weight of the heli and ambient conditions: Pilot 90kg temp 25c
Question 3 was worded wrong sorry

Thanks for your assistance much appreciated

Rhys - you'll find Hughes wants the weight of the aircraft not the weight of the pilot..........ISA conditions or not?

I presume this is for a simulator or some sort of modelling.

Hi
Yes it is for a simulator aircraft empty weight 1517lb ISA conditions

Cheers

I need to know the total weight of aircraft fuel and pilot plus pax. At MTOW of 3000 lbs in zero wind ISA day around 70 to 75 psi

Hi Hughes500

Thanks very much for the reply that's pretty much what I need regarding the torque readings.
One more question, that is the length and width of the the main and tail rotor blades in meters ( I can convert to ft)
It's for a full scale MD500e simulator, I am editing a FSX air file to get the flight dynamics to closely match the real thing

send me your e mail address and i will send you over an electronic flight manual which will have everything you need

Done
Thanks Hughes 500

Reco, you don't have the necessary ten posts to be able to use the sites email function unfortunately.
