Vortex by
Stephen Austin
Which basically amounts to the same thing, doesn't it? You're still going to
have to have sufficient altitude to nose over to gain airspeed either way or
can you recover more easily once the VRS is halted and the rotor blades are
flying in relatively clean air again?
Hmm, no, not really. ...

Undersling and 2/rev by
Stu Fields
If an over weight pilot exceeds the recommended seat weight of his
helicopter, will this affect undersling enough to cause an increase in the
2/rev vibration??? Does increasing G forces cause an increase in 2/rev??

Pop out floats on a 206BIII by
Mike Th...
We operate floats on all our Jetrangers and our 407. For a 206BIII, I think
the weight difference compared to high skids is about 75lbs. As for an
effect on airspeed I'm not so sure because I'm on the maintenance side of
the company. Yet I figure 5-10 knots. If you want some precise numbers I...

Bell 47's ??? by
Badwater Bill
I have seen a few Bell 47's lately and they look cool. Does anyone
out there on this group own one? I hear that the model G or G2 is a
good one and they sell pretty reasonable.
How fast are they? How about altitude performance. Can a guy land
them at 10,000 msl with a couple people on board...

Why do gyros use tilt head rather than swashplate by
Phillip
Would a gyro with a swashplate ( just for pitch control) fly any different
(better,worse) than using a tilt type rotor head? Just more complex?
Also, I've seen some photos of early kit helicopters that appear to have
just a tilting head (no way to auto-rotate ?). Isn't this a bit of a death
wish?...
