old days by
Airman
I sure miss the old days when we had a lively discussion group with
some very experienced pilots opining upon matters. Poster were for the
most part civil and if you could ask the right questions then listen a
guy like Nick Lappos (or many other very experienced pilots) would
respond.
Happy...

Piasecki crash by
Stu Fields
Just got word of a Piasecki crash that involved Joe Pike and to other people
who were on board. Joe had re-stored the twin rotor ship. Initial data
seems to indicate an engine failure with the ship hitting power lines and
burning. Joe was an outstanding wrench and pilot. Joe did a BFR for me...

Island Express Helo Crash 12/28 by
[email protected]
Funny coming across this after almost 14 years. But I was in this accident with my family. My dad was a part of the CG for many years. And he was the reason we all survived this crash. Lots of Los info not mentioned in the reports. And my brother who was seriously injured is doing very well to this...

Is MDHI going to make it? by
Matt Barrow
MDHI (makers of the MD500, 600, 900 series) has been dormant for some time
and is on the brink of bankruptcy.
Replacement parts are unavailable and they're delivering three or four
helo's a year.
Anyone care to speculate what's going to happen?
They have refused two or three buy-outs in the past...

Zyglo T62 compressor and turbine wheels by
Stu Fields
Just completed checking the wheels of 84 Surplus Solar T-62 turbine engine
sets of wheels for cracks. Only found two turbine wheels with small cracks.
No cracks found in the compressor wheels. These engines seem to be quite
sturdy. We started several and looked at vibration levels with a...

Bell Textron D-314 tiltrotor designs. by
Charles Gray
During the 1970's, Bell came up with a variety of Tiltrotor concepts,
including several gunship models. Does anyone know where a good place
to start looking for conceptual art or planned specifications would
be?
Also, isn't a tilt-rotor considerably less effecient than a
helicopter in vertical...

Helicopter trailer by
Stuart & Kathryn Fields
Is there anyone out there? I have been dissatisfied with my trailer that
I'm using to haul my 1,000 # helicopter around. It is basically a car
hauler that I've stripped the springs down to 1 1/2 leaves and put soft car
tires on it to make the ride a bit softer. Even with the reduced springs,...

First helicopter (Remember those days?) by
Jim
Hello everyone,
I bet this has been covered many times before, and I apologize for
asking yet again. I further apologize for the long post. I'm one of
those new, soon-to-be pilots that needs a lot of advice. I thought if
I gave a bunch of information, some might see how serious I am and
might also...

Ground 350 run without blades? by
Sla#s
Has anyone ever run a AS 350 or 355 without the Main rotor blades fitted?
We do it all the time with our 315 but I've never heard of it with a
Squirrel / A Star.
It would make tail rotor balancing a lot easier for a start - i.e. no pilot
needed. That's what we do with our Lama and use to do with...

R22 owners please help with AD 2004-06-52 by
rotortrash
For those of you unaware the FAA has issued an emergency AD
(2004-06-52) on March 18, 2004 that requires any R22 blade older than
10 years may no longer be used. The basis for the AD is questionable.
Little if any documented research was done to verify that the age of
the blade has any effect on...
