Mini-500 parts selling on eBay by
planeman
I see Mini-500 helicopters selling on eBay, but much less these days.
Is there someone in the marketplace that can sell me parts if I was
compelled to buy the incomplete one selling now?

old days by
Airman
I sure miss the old days when we had a lively discussion group with
some very experienced pilots opining upon matters. Poster were for the
most part civil and if you could ask the right questions then listen a
guy like Nick Lappos (or many other very experienced pilots) would
respond.
Happy...

Piasecki crash by
Stu Fields
Just got word of a Piasecki crash that involved Joe Pike and to other people
who were on board. Joe had re-stored the twin rotor ship. Initial data
seems to indicate an engine failure with the ship hitting power lines and
burning. Joe was an outstanding wrench and pilot. Joe did a BFR for me...

Charles Gray
During the 1970's, Bell came up with a variety of Tiltrotor concepts,
including several gunship models. Does anyone know where a good place
to start looking for conceptual art or planned specifications would
be?
Also, isn't a tilt-rotor considerably less effecient than a
helicopter in vertical...

Just completed checking the wheels of 84 Surplus Solar T-62 turbine engine
sets of wheels for cracks. Only found two turbine wheels with small cracks.

sturdy. We started several and looked at vibration levels with a...

Ground 350 run without blades? by
Sla#s
Has anyone ever run a AS 350 or 355 without the Main rotor blades fitted?
We do it all the time with our 315 but I've never heard of it with a
Squirrel / A Star.
It would make tail rotor balancing a lot easier for a start - i.e. no pilot
needed. That's what we do with our Lama and use to do with...

Helicopter trailer by
Stuart & Kathryn Fields
Is there anyone out there? I have been dissatisfied with my trailer that
I'm using to haul my 1,000 # helicopter around. It is basically a car
hauler that I've stripped the springs down to 1 1/2 leaves and put soft car
tires on it to make the ride a bit softer. Even with the reduced springs,...

Dennis Fetters Rumour by
Kevin O'Brien
There's a rumour going around that Dennis Fetters perished in a Brantly
crash in Argentina in July.
For a rumour, that's very specific, and I'm going to check it out in
Argentina. But it seems to me that it's pretty farfetched for several
reasons. Seems like this group might be a place to...
