Sitting here in Mobile, Alabama watching the storm track headed right for us. Of course many are preparing for it and offshore rigs have begun evacuating. We haven't made a decision to move the aircraft out yet and that will probably happen tomorrow. With Brookley field sticking out into Mobile...

Hi Guys, Im after a video link that was posted on this newsgroup sometime ago.. It was a long video (approx 30mb) of a Schwiezer/Hughes 300 doing aerobatic manouvers at low level at an airport! I remember it had a sound recording also including Robbie William :( Anyways, anyone know the link for...

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...

Anyone have details? Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone

The OTHER Kevin said I'm kinda hoping we can fly over to my kid's school and circle overhead while they're at recess. My kids got so tired of it, I don't really do it much anymore! Of course my wifes (and mine to if I have to admit it) dog runs and goes crazy every time he hears a helicopter. ...

I am about to start my career in aviation, flying helicopters. and am looking for some feed back on the industry and what it's like to land that first job after completing my training. I hold my licences in fixed wing but never followed it as a career, but i understand how hard it is in the fixed...

Hi Kevin, Great write up as usual! :-) Glad to hear the approaches are getting better. Knew it would come though, it was only a matter of time. That's got to be some kind of rush when it finally all comes together. Congratulations! Your first experience with settling with power sounds fun! ...

Does the Rotax 'After-Muffler' part 878967 really work, reducing noise?. I'm running a Rotax 503DC on my Gyro and constantly operating between 6000 & 6600 rpm. Interested to hear from anyone who has fitted / heard one operating with after muffler Thanks in advance, John

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...
