That's a freakin awesome looking Enstrom👍🏼! Don't think I've ever seen one with a rotor cap on top the head head, though!

Looks (and sounds) like the rotor was partially engaged on startup.

Enstroms are a little bit different airframes. The blades will freewheel once we fire up. But they don’t get up to idle speed until the clutch is engaged. The Enstrom pistons have a manual clutch, a handle that you have to pull up and into a lock to engage.
