Used Helicopter sales by Brien
Is this a good time to buy or not. I see 269a and R-22 for sale a little higher price than a year ago but wonder how the market is. Are Helicopters selling for close to asking prices or do they have to be discounted considerable to sell?

Should I really buy a helicopter? by [email protected]
It is not worthwhile to buy a Helicopter just for Leisure use. But if you really want to buy it, it would be better that you can maintain it by yourself. You might take a look at http://www.ScienceOxygen.com/aviation204.html It does not sell Helicopter there, but it collects some links about...

A Moment of Thanks. by Peter Maus
After decades of wanting, several attempts at starting and many job/life related frustrations, years of not quite having the time, and the resources, I finally began my training in earnest this year. I gotta tell you, it was EXACTLY what I expected it to be. I didn't take the usual introductory...

Helicopter futures by Robert M. Gary
My neighbor is training with Silver State helicopters in Sacramento. They claim there are helos sitting around with no one to fly them and that pay can be expected in the $100,000 area. Our local DE thinks they are crooks but I think he just thinks that because they do their checkrides out of town...

fyi on Joe Souza by Bob
fyi...Joe Souza, maker of Bandit gyroplanes, is cheating the government - he funnels money from his business, Precision HiRail Alignment, into his gyro company which he then claims as REVENUE (illegally) so he can avoid paying lower taxes..the oldest trick in the book - is the IRS aware of this ??

Power Off Touchdown Autorotation by SelwayKid
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...

Gyro question by news.starpower.net
I have a question: (and the answer may be pretty basic) We all know that you can't land a gyrocopter in a crab angle because you might tip over. Why, then, don't they use castor type wheels, or some other wheel setup where all wheels can swivel in any direction? I think that this would allow the...

Question to pilots who have landed on airports using ILS by Ingo Schulz
Hi! In IFR flights rotorcraft are sequenced together with airplanes on the approach path, i.e. they use the same procedures as airplanes. Because they are much slower than aircraft, they hinder the traffic flow. To alleviate airport congestion they could intercept the glide path nearer to the...
