Curiosity of the first order by
Stuart Fields
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

Contact the emergency authorities that responded to the incident,
ie-fire dept, etc., and tell them you have a video. The FAA will be
in touch with them and they can tell the FAA. If you...

Hello everyone,
I bet this has been covered many times before, and I apologize for
asking yet again. I further apologize for the long post. I'm one of
those new, soon-to-be pilots that needs a lot of advice. I thought if
I gave a bunch of information, some might see how serious I am and
might also...

Is this chopper about to crash? by
Trentus
It would appear that the majority in aus.aviation seem to think this shot
http://www.thedamnedestthing.com/page15.html was moments from impact, but
then they fly the wrong type of aircraft in that newsgroup, so what would
they know.
If not how is it still in the air at that angle? My "hunch" is...

Electric motor assisted super- or turbocharger? by
Max Kallio
2-stroke diesels need compressed air for starting the engine, so the
turbo (exhaust driven centrifugal supercharger) is out of a guestion
and it produces very little boost at low rpm anyhow.
How about supplementing a centrifugal turbocharger with a high speed
electric motor to create boost needed...
