I recently got a Bell 204 tail rotor hub assembly for the pair of blades I have, but am having difficulty attaching them. Is there some secret to getting them together? The blades are a REALLY tight fit into the grips. Thanks, Brian

What are the advantages of the LTS over the HTS.

Is it true that the Army is taking back Retired Army UH-1 Pilots to age 60 for active duty?

I would like to know what the cost per hour to operate a Hughes 269 might be. Only the operation cost not insurance or hangar or inspection. The time life items and gas and oil only operation cost ?

Four U.S. helicopters -- three military and one civilian -- were shot down in Iraq between January 20 and Friday, raising concerns that insurgents are becoming more proficient at downing the aircraft. Sixteen U.S. troops were killed in the three military chopper crashes.

What is the angle of the blade at the tip of a UH-1 in Autorotation. Is this angle somewhat the same for most Helicopters?

Are Jet engine % Tachometers interchangeable between engines or are they set to a specific engine?

What % of power at max pedal input does the tail rotor take. Is it about the same % of total power for a Bell 47 as a UH-1 or a Hiller UH-12?

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 considerable to sell?

Looking for a site that list the overhaul and retirement schedule for a Hiller UH-12

Anybody ever try to replace the tail rotor belts with a drive shaft system?

If a Blackhawk has a tail rotor failure how fast does it have to be going at max weight to trail in the wind and at what speed do they do a running landing?

Just read about people selling run out Robinsons for continued service. Anybody know just how wide spread this pratice is.

Thinking of making a wind generator out of my Scorpion . It has been sitting in my barn for the last 10 years and only had 50 hours on it . I had thought of selling it but the liability of whoever I might have sold it to prevented me from doing that. Anybody have an idea of what kind of power I...
