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...

Merry Christmas to all by

is in
France in an official visit.
He is invited for a dinner at the private house of his French
counterpart.
When he reaches the place, he can't refrain to say:

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...
