With all the heated debate over trival issues that I've seen in this newsgroup, I have to say I'm really disappointed with what I'm seeing as response to a real issue that affects the value of operating a helicopter in the US. Maybe you guys don't understand the impact of the proposed rule...

As part of my on going hobby, I was wondering if anyone had the original TV Series recorded anywhere on VHS for my archiving project - especially in light of the fact that Columbia House will NOT be publishing a DVD set... :( Contact me at virtual_bob at hotmail dot com! TIA Bob

Hundreds of small low-cost UAV helicopters are located at dozens of secure sites, within an area of conflict. When required, a remote pilot, who may be located thousands of miles away, will cause a number of these helicopters to takeoff and fly to separate GPS coordinates. The remote pilot may...

Here is a good question for the more experienced helicopter pilot or mechanic. A friend of mine that flies a late model Robison R22 Beta II asked this question of a number of individuals and no one seem to have an explanation. This included people at the manufacturer. I believe I know the...

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...

Here's a little fiction. It's not polished. It's just a draft. Some of you might like it. Some of you might identify with it. BWB ________________________________________________________

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26428&item=2464601457 This is located not too far from me. It looks like it could be a fun thing, but is it too old, too out of date, etc. Any comments? Joe (still thinking about a helicopter while watching my winnings grow)

I saw in the site http://www.helis.com/timeline/aerospatiale2.php that the gazelle was the first helicopter with fenestron and also incorporated a rigid main rotor as the BO105's, I never saw a gazelle so close how for to detail its main rotor, is this true?, the gazelle has a rigid main rotor...

Thinking of buying a OH-23B, the wood blades are bad just how hard are they to find, and at what cost $$$. Also the OH-23 never had the airworthness cert issued, this should be the same as the UH-12B . I believe I can get the standard airworthness cert with a DAR and conformity with the original...

OK, here is the situation: Building an ultralight helicopter. If it comes out to weight more than 254, can I legally fly it above my own land. I have 10 acres in the country, no ARSA, no controlled air space, no license. Can the FAA tell me I can not hover it one foot off the ground if I am on...

A small company is claiming that their product is incapable of stalling. The wing design if converted into a slow moving rotor might generate more lift. There would be considerable centrifical force though. Here's the link to the description page. http://www.fanwing.com/desc.htm

I'm looking for the two gentlemen that came down to Virginia to help Gil put together the doors for his Mini500. I was there helping also and I would like copies of the pictures that we took together at the end of the day. I don't remember the names of these two gentlemen, but I do remember that...

Is anyone out there familar with the design of the Bell 427 main rotor? Since I first saw it I've been quite a fan of the design with it's composite yoke for coning and flapping relief and it's rather novel and very simple damping elements. Yet today I read that Bell plans to re-rotor the 427...

How do you tell the difference between Hughes 369D and 500D from the outside? Does any one know if that Hughes (TC's) helicopter appeared in Magnum P.I.'s TV shows a 369D or a 500D? -- kent
