I recently got a Bell 204 tail rotor hub assembly for the pair of blades I have, but am having difficulty attaching them. Is there some secret to getting them together? The blades are a REALLY tight fit into the grips. Thanks, Brian

I understand the parts are becoming worth more than a complete Helicopter.

What happened to the price on T-53 engines the -11 engines are up around 11k for one unknown history and the -13 are all gone. Is it the monster trucks and tractor pull people are driveing the price up or what?

How much should a Annual Inspection cost for a Hughes 269-B not counting any other work it may need only the Inspection?

The rear transmission support on a UH-1, is this one support mostly for the twisting action of translational lift ? Or is it more of a vibration or shock unit. As it is only held in by (8) -3 bolts it hard to think of any real support.

What is the angle of the blade at the tip of a UH-1 in Autorotation. Is this angle somewhat the same for most Helicopters?

I have a UH-1 tailpipe with cooling fins and looks like a heat exchanger and a line for fuel. Was this used to reduce the heat signature and risk of heat seeking missile attack.

I have a UH-1H that I want to get running for a display or just something to turn up in my back yard. I need a T-53 engine it does not need paperwork or be airworthy just runable. I also need another transmission it also does not need to be airworthy. Any contact would be helpful . Brien

Looking for a used Chadwick-Helmuth any good used test equipment dealer web page link would be appreciated.

Looking for a site that list the overhaul and retirement schedule for a Hiller UH-12

Has anybody modified a Peterson J-4 for a winch tow or auto tow?

Anybody ever try to replace the tail rotor belts with a drive shaft system?

If a Blackhawk has a tail rotor failure how fast does it have to be going at max weight to trail in the wind and at what speed do they do a running landing?

Thinking of making a wind generator out of my Scorpion . It has been sitting in my barn for the last 10 years and only had 50 hours on it . I had thought of selling it but the liability of whoever I might have sold it to prevented me from doing that. Anybody have an idea of what kind of power I...

Where did all the Silver State Helicopters go. I am sure someone got control of them but who as I have not seen them show up for sale anywhere.
