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. To the...

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...
