I'm quite curious about this groups response to an announcement of a new magazine about experimental helicopters. There has been essentially no response. I'm sure surprised. Is there a basis for this group that I'm unaware of that would create a total lack of curiosity or comment? I'm at a...

Have been thinking of things to post re;Ag Flying with rotorcraft. I have to pay more attention to my work though! In many of my fields here, they are irrigated with sprinkler pivots. Generally I'll have to fly over them spraying to get the crops underneath. I haven't measured the tallest points on...

I can't believe this board is so dead in the water. For some more up to date info and action, visit JH and the alternate forum. I try to keep breathing life into this NG but am giving up all hope. Just check it out...how many posts in how many days vs on JH.....??

Looking at 14 days without activity on this forum. Will that qualify as dead? I think so. I'll be spending my time over on Just Helicopters from now on and delete this forum from my favorites. Rocky

I have become very interested in pursuing a career as a helicopter pilot. As i've been looking into schools i've found 2 that are the closest and both have a goodlooking program. I was looking for some feedback as to the schools, if they are good, and which one would be a better choice. Silver...

There's a rumour going around that Dennis Fetters perished in a Brantly crash in Argentina in July. For a rumour, that's very specific, and I'm going to check it out in Argentina. But it seems to me that it's pretty farfetched for several reasons. Seems like this group might be a place to...

Im not sure if anyone heard of this person. He was the designer of MINI-500 and many excellent pilots died in this product. I want to let you know that this person is still alive He married an asian girl and living in China right now. I have been seen this videos online.

I did my aptitude tests and exams at my local flying college the other day, a pre-requisite along with an interview before they allow you to join any of their courses. Scored 85% in maths, 77% in physics (I'd long forgotten some of the theorems and equations that would've been helpful) and I got...

Just letting you know about a yahoo group that is interested in using diesel. engines in Planes and Gyros. Some Planes already exist and are using diesel car engines. Like Dieselis/ Isuzu cast iron block going into production. Same engineer with a different plane using a 1.4ltr Citroen Jodel using...

Being an Editor/Publisher of the Experimental Helo magazine has some advantages. In three days, I flew 5 different helicopters. #1 Hummingbird: A 4 seat nearly certified kit helicopter based on the Sikorsky S52. An article about this smooth load hauler will be in the March issue. No hydraulic...

Hi there! I am looking for a list or a library of Disk Loadings and Power Loadings for some rotating-Wing Aircrafts (especially VTOLs). I have found some peculiar data on V22 Osprey (different DL in a site and in a book??), so I wnted to make sure... I need them for a research (comparisons...

Just weighed my single seat today and at max weight including myself and fuel is about 432 Kg's (952 Lb) on 25 foot disk Is this within weight range for the 25 foot or should I use option of longer teeter bar bringing the blades out to 27 foot. ?? Pro's and con's please Regards Dale

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...

There is a guy here in Vegas who has the best program in the country for anyone who wants to become a commercial helicopter pilot. I'm not sure about all the details but you can get a commercial and instructor's certificate here with 100% financing at a something like 5% interest rate. You go to...
