looking far a really great article by
Steve L.[_1_]
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.

Ok, ask me. What do you want to know about the "Mini-500 prototype". It
was the first Mini-500 I built, so it was a prototype. What point are
you trying to make? Please just...

Anyone know the current status of the Neo helicopter kit by

Gyro PRECESSION by
[email protected]
I've been reading up on gyro precession as it refers to gyroplanes. It
seems that is not how a rotor disc works on a gyroplane. The info I've

accident percentage based on...
