Clutch switch position by
Stuart & Kathryn Fields
A recent incident involving a Rotorway helicopter occurred. An accidental

Sla#s[_2_]
Anybody any idea what's happened to the AAIB report on Colin McRae's

Come back to News group by
Jonathan St. Cloud
Back in the 1990's this was a very newsgroup. But then we started to get hateful posts. It is easy to report posts that have nothing to do with Helicopters. Let's get good discussions again.
Fly safe.

"A Chopper Is Born". For those not familiar with the show, a guy from
England is building an Exec helo and the build process is filmed and
played back in half hour segments. Any who...

control failure by
Stuart & Kathryn Fields
aluminum control tube failed causing helicopter crash. The helo had an
anodized aluminum control tube that failed in fatigue with less than 400hrs.
The loading was low producing stresses in the area of 460psi. Discussions
with anodizing folks say "Never anodize flight critical components" ...

credibiltiy by
Stu Fields
It seems that if there are two possible causes for a helicopter accident,

Crop Dusting - NIGHT by
[email protected]
Since the subject of night flying came up, I thought I'd toss out a
little about night spraying with helicopters and airplanes. I've done

the airplanes move faster and take more time to cover a given field

Crop Dusting with Helicopters by
[email protected]
Since I seem to have stirred a little interest, I'll try to enlighten
those who care to read it. I'm one of those fortunate few who get to do
stuff that many can't even dream of or imagine with helicopters. An old

with me and...
