POLTF: Problems Obvious to the Least Tutored in the Field. This is to be used with NHFY: None Have Failed Yet. NHFY is an industry accepted response to POLTF

I've coined a new acronym that stands for a principle often used in the experimental helicopter community. I have named it NHFY. It stands for None Have Failed Yet. It is a reliability measurement used by some that certainly needs close examination to ascertain the validity. Some folks who...

PHOTOS: Rotorfest and PHL - October 04, 2009 Over 100 photos in this group. The highlight at Rotorfest for me was the Kaman K-Max and the Pilatus Porter jump plane. The clouds moved in briefly in the AM and gave us a short-lived scare, but they burned off. Plenty of copters and GA aircraft,...

Anyone know the current status of the Neo helicopter kit by youngcopter? This is German built kit that looks a lot like the MD 520N. Their web site has not been updated since June 2008 and I could not find any info on the fight testing.

I was making some soup and dumplins and just like rotorcraft flying I got P.I.O. problem. You have to cook them with the lid on so the steam will bake the dumplins. However trying to find just the right setting on the old electric stove is not always easy. Turn the dial up to much and it begins to...

After reading a lot over the www about RAF gyros, I'd seen that many of the accidents seem to be related to pilot error. I wondered if anybody knew how many RAF2000 had been sold? I heard it was in the neighbourhood of eight hundred or so kits. I was trying to make an accident percentage based on...

http://w3n-a.blogspot.com/2008/11/slow-flight.html Slow flight could be thought of, by some, as a speed that is less than cruise.
