I have some basic questions about speeds of gyrocopters. (Please forgive me if my questions are kind of basic. I'm currently working on my private pilot for airplanes, with long term goal of getting into gyros. I have a few hours time in gyros, but not enough yet to know what I'm talking...

old gyrocopter design? by E. Glaser
Hi there everyone! The reason for this posting is straight forward: I am looking for an old gyro copter design. It must be older than 1994 for it is not in a 1994 listing of "KITPLANES" anymore. As far as my memory goes, it was called "Windrider" or "Windraider", had a composite fuselage and an...

Helicopters and Wires by [email protected]
Anyone else besides me here ever hit a wire in a helicopter? I did it at night while crop dusting in California. Was a steel cable and all it did was leave "chatter" marks in the paint and tore the end cap. Very close call and we had to replace the blades (which were just about timed out anyway). I...

UH-1F Huey help by
Hello, I've looked 'high and low' but cannot locate a Speed Decreaser Gear (SDG) to fit a T58-GE-3 engine. I believe this motor originally flew in a UH-1F Huey. The SDG needs to be complete, in running condition but does not require 'air-worthy' paperwork (as this for a 'non-aircraft' application)...

Helicopter Linesman by Mr Rogers
Did anyone happen to catch the documentary on the history channel about using helicopters to check HV lines. Fascinating stuff, very wild to see the heli some inches from a 300KV line with a handler hanging out the side with a grounding line to the heli. At some points you could see the arc jump...

Dangerous Stuff by [email protected]
Have been thinking of things to post re;Ag Flying with rotorcraft. I have to pay more attention to my work though! In many of my fields here, they are irrigated with sprinkler pivots. Generally I'll have to fly over them spraying to get the crops underneath. I haven't measured the tallest points on...
