Used Helicopter sales by
Brien
Is this a good time to buy or not. I see 269a and R-22 for sale a little
higher price than a year ago but wonder how the market is. Are Helicopters
selling for close to asking prices or do they have to be discounted

used r-22 worth it? by
[email protected]
rotor-heads,
I'm a private pilot with about 100 hrs fixed wing, and about 15 hrs in

40-50k. ...

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...

helicopter. The job took two friends, seven years and $30,000.

Greg Johnson
It it possible to get into vortex ring state (or settling with power)
during an autorotation?
