Oshkosh helicopters by Stu Fields
Well there was a tip jet (70% H202) ship there with one pilot with 20 min and a reported other pilot with a few hundred hours... Sikorsky had a battery powered 269 on display with a duration spec of 15 min. Safaris, Rotorways and Mosquitos and Larry Neals Butterfly wrapped up the rotor craft.

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?? Stu

credibiltiy by Stu Fields
It seems that if there are two possible causes for a helicopter accident, the preferred one for the manufacturer is the one for which they have no fault. That certainly is the best for them. However, lets say that a low hour helicopter suffers a failure directly attibutable to fatigue. ...

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,...
