Hello, I would like to discuss some interesting info and thoughts. I know that there are helicopters that can do an auto to the ground perfectly soft with no airspeed and no flare. I know somebody who did it in an R44. Then I heard somebody telling about one in a R22 with two persons, piloted -...

Hello, I'm looking for a source to buy these heli plugs and jacks, called U-174/U. The only one I found was http://www.aircraft-spruce.com/catalog/avpages/plugsnjacks.php But they only have the plug and its quite expensive. I want to build a box to input music into the heli's intercom; so if

Since there's nobody else to fuel the ship, I have to tell my daughter we're not going anywhere so I grab my stuff and head back into the You would have been the pilot? So why not fueling it yourself? If you didn't know whom to call could have asked this CFI.

Which basically amounts to the same thing, doesn't it? You're still going to have to have sufficient altitude to nose over to gain airspeed either way or can you recover more easily once the VRS is halted and the rotor blades are flying in relatively clean air again? Hmm, no, not really. ...

Hello, I wonder if someone here knows Alan Radecki, the owner of http://www.mojavebooks.com , a photographer and maybe a pilot. I ordered from his webshop the book Helicopter Aerodynamics by Ray Prouty which I could hardly find anywhere else. My credit card was charged instantly 2 months ago,...

Recommendations please..I have finally moved forward and am going to make an attempt to get my instrument ticket. I have contacted HAI in Florida but they are backed up for several months. I don't mind going out of state. I want to go - get it done and then come home. HAI did seem more structured -...

HELP!! I have an old 28 vdc Grimes Rotating Beacon with an all red cover that does not work anymore. It appears the motor (Barber-Coleman)is missing a brush and spring. Does anyone know where I can get another motor? If not, then does anyone know where I can get another rotating beacon? Exact model...

Am looking to purchase a GPS. As this is the ROTORCRAFT forum I don't need to say (but I will) that the gps must be easy to see, easy to operate (1 handed?) and light weight (in case strapped to kneeboard). I have been looking at the Garmin GPSmap 196. It has a black and white screen not the color....

Do any of you remember some terrorist guy that whated to kill Americans buy selling them a Helicopter death trap? i think he did kill a few, any news from Muhammad al Faris.

Hi, we have a problem here. For a small R22 school we need a new CFI. The CFII we want, however, has only 202h in R22 (another 250h in small planes). Our Pathfinder endorsement requires 300h helicopter for CFIs to give instruction! Does anyone here know of a possibility to let this CFI get his...

Hi, I am looking for a helo magazine article, someones opinion on the last page. It compared helo to fixedwing ops and had some very good thoughts. One of them was that airlines make everything adapt to them to increase safety. They operate in an almost completely known environment like runway...

Way to go, Kevin! :-D I'll bet that's a load off. Please keep us up to date on how the IFR training goes. I'm curious to hear your insights on manipulating charts and such in an aircraft that you really can't let go of for any significant time. I've got a pretty good idea of how it can go in...
