Hello, what are the control inputs required in a hover in an ideal situation, what I am trying to figure out is what are you doing in a no-wind situation to hover. I have read several articles and books about helicopter flying and I am still a little confused as to what you have to do, from what I...

Greetings, all. I am new to this group, but I have been studying Gyros for a few years. I've decided on building a Gyrobee. I'd love to build one from scratch, doing my own cutting and drilling, not for the cost savings but just because I'm an engineer at heart and love to build things. The only...

Currently on Ebay is an add for a couple of pitch links for a Bell 412 helicopter. The add says that the list price for the pair is $30,000!!!!! With a buy it now price of $8,000. I just finished making a set for my Safari that had rod ends both lt and rt hand and I doubt that I have $400 in them...

That's right..... Your fired. Pack up your bags and scram. Your no longer needed. R-Max is on it's way to replace you. Lighter, smaller, newer.

Recently I was watching "Monster Garage". The challenge on this episode (37) was for the team to build a very fast car out of a jet boat. During the build one of the team members spent six dollars and some change for an expired helicopter piece. Since the part had been expired it was apparently...

Kevin, welcome to the club. Been doing it since '82 or so, and still loving it. Congratulations again, Jim

.... and I still can't stop smiling :-)) Flying helicopter is soo different from an airplane, it really felt like flying magic carpet :-) And it's so nice to watch grass waves around :-) In airplane you get from ground so fast it's hard to notice how nice view you can have from so low...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone that knows about owning a UH-1 would be willing to talk to me about it (off list if you want, or on list..maybe others would be interested). I have a bunch of questions regarding a future purchase. Things like where the type certificate comes from, and are there...

Great looking magazine, But I can't seem to find what we get for the subcription. I'm guessing 12 months worth , true /false? Cheers Cam "Kathryn & Stuart Fields" wrote in message ... A new magazine devoted to the experimental...

Anyone think the idea of using an autogyro as a quick-response ambulance service is good? Wouldn't actually transport patients, but would act like the quick response car or bike, delivering emergency help, and looking after patients until land ambulance arrives. I'm going to see how far I can...

Could someone please describe the Mentone experience to me. Things like: how big is the airport, what kind of facilities, are hotels near by, can I fly commercial airlines to mentone, how hard are to get there from here. Would like to fly in early, see the sights, then fly out late that night. Can...

If you start a descent from cruse by reducing pitch and maintaining rotor speed, what happens to coning forces as compared to cruse? I have noticed that during a decent in a R22 that you can get a "Wop-Wop" noise from the main rotor blades. Changing cyclic or increasing rotor speed a very small...

Just read about people selling run out Robinsons for continued service. Anybody know just how wide spread this pratice is.

The below is from AOPA: FAA PROPOSAL WOULD SQUEEZE CHARITY FLIGHTS, SIGHTSEEING OPS An FAA notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published this week would likely shrink the pool of pilots able to help local charities with fundraising flights and, by the FAA's own admission, drive hundreds of small...

Does anyone know the benefits of either a CECO fuel control versus a Bendix fuel control on the Rolls Royce 250 Series? Aside from the fact that one works off of air pressure and the other off of fuel pressure is one better than another?
