I have a few new (old stock) Kalfex driveshafts for sale. I had these re-inspected two weeks ago at an FAA/Bell certified center. Each shaft comes with an 8130 hard card w/ JAA permissions. These fit the Bell OH-58 and I have a copy of an STC that shows this exact Kamatics p/n: SKCP2348-5 being...

It would appear that the majority in aus.aviation seem to think this shot http://www.thedamnedestthing.com/page15.html was moments from impact, but then they fly the wrong type of aircraft in that newsgroup, so what would they know. If not how is it still in the air at that angle? My "hunch" is...

A friend of mine in Minnesota is determined to buy a helicopter and is ready to buy but he doesn't have a lot of money, maybe $15K. I bet he will never try flying it, just wants something that looks nice. Likes Mini 500 but would consider others. Email me if you know of something.

RotorWay International, based in Chandler, Ariz., has sold more than 900 kits for small homebuilt helicopters, and now is starting development of a certified version. "We see a large opening in the market for a larger, two-seat, 21st-century helicopter with a sensible price," said CEO Grant...

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...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone that knows about owning a UH-1 would be willing to talk to me about it (off list if you want, or on list..maybe others would be interested). I have a bunch of questions regarding a future purchase. Things like where the type certificate comes from, and are there...

2-stroke diesels need compressed air for starting the engine, so the turbo (exhaust driven centrifugal supercharger) is out of a guestion and it produces very little boost at low rpm anyhow. How about supplementing a centrifugal turbocharger with a high speed electric motor to create boost needed...

Hello all, This is my first time posting here, but I figured maybe you all could help me out with a question that has been nagging at me for quite a while. Forgive me if this seems like a stupid question. Here goes: Does a helicopter, without lateral movement, have the ability to fly down, or...

Joss, this heli is slightly described at http://twistairclub.narod.ru including photos of it's step-by-step unfolding. It wasn't ever flown. The main reason why is mostly explained as "no suitable engine which would fit this design that time". I've heard that it was designed to be powered by small...

Well it appears this board needs something to stir some activity. So, let's talk about touchdown autorotations. Just like spins in the phyxed wing world, there are those who argue for/against touchdown autos. I've been flying helicopters since the mid 60's and have done quite a few touchdown autos...

After decades of national policy prohibiting use of hand-held VOR and GPS on FAA check rides, FAA Flight Standards Headquarters in Washington DC (AFS-800) finally reversed itself and is now allowing the use of hand-held VOR and GPS on Private, Commercial and Instrument FAA check rides. So, if your...

The below is from AOPA: FAA PROPOSAL WOULD SQUEEZE CHARITY FLIGHTS, SIGHTSEEING OPS An FAA notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published this week would likely shrink the pool of pilots able to help local charities with fundraising flights and, by the FAA's own admission, drive hundreds of small...

Hi, I am interested in helicopter flying and may book a lesson, etc. I have a serious question that perhaps is slightly comical. I have read lots of info, and it seems to me that a sneeze could be fatal. I mean, it's dodgy in a car - more dangerous than adjusting the stereo perhaps. To the...

Hi There, Any Idea where can a person find real geographical data to down load and use with the Microsoft flight sim 2004? Ezra

Well after a year on the ground, which started out to be just a condition inspection, a 1800 sq ft building expansion got in the way, my bird took flight yesterday. After extensive re-rigging and checking to insure sufficient negative pitch to allow autoroatation, I carefully lifted the bird...
