Do I own my airspace? by
Chief McGee
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...

"Airwolf" by
Sven Balzer
Hello NG,
I'm looking for the type of helicopter, that was the original for the
"Airwolf" of the movie. IMHO it was a "Bell", but how it's exact name of
this model?
How can I find some pictures, especially a blueprint?
Greetings from Germany

V-22 Rotor Question by
Dave Jackson
Literature mentions that the 3-blade V-22 rotor hub is attached to the rotor
shaft by a means of gimbal or universal joint. Gimbal and universal joints
do not transmit a constant velocity when the hub and shaft axes are not
aligned.
Does anyone know if the V-22 uses a gimbal joint or if it...

sneezing while flying helicopter by
Simon
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.

R-22 vs Mosquito by
Stuart & Kathryn Fields
I've heard for sometime that the R-22 is harder to fly than the little
ultralite Mosquito. This past week end I took a 1/2 hr ride in an R-22. In
my opinion the cyclic in the R-22 with its lack of feel or any kind of force
feedback is at least an order of magnitude more difficult to adjust to...

Flat free ground handling wheels by
Stuart & Kathryn Fields
I recently tried a pair of Marathon flat free wheelbarrow tires to replace
my pneumatic tires that had developed the habit of slowly leaking out the
air.
@#$%^ The rolling resistance was so great I couldn't move the helicopter by
myself. In fact even with my wife's help it was very hard to get...

To the guy writing the heli lesson diary: by
helicopterandy
I don't post here often but I have read w/ interest your diary of
flight lessons. A few questions if you don't mind:
Why are you cooling down an R22 ( I assume from your threads that is
what you're flying) for five minutes before you disengage the clutch?
R22 checklists state a 2 minute cooldown...

Fun Stuff With Helicopters by

Was flying Bell 206 in Johannesburg, early 1970's. At the time there
were only five civil helicopters registered in all of South Africa. I
forget the exact reason for this event, but it included a lot of the
local politicians at the Britstown Tower in downtown Johannesburg. The
tower is similar to...

I read in some publications about that Bell must be working on a replace for the

Also some people speculates about an Updated 430, as EC made with the BK117,
