good video of military helo ops at grouchymedia.com look for "Helo Thunder" kicks ass. all the best Sean Trost

I've been looking for a gyroplane ready to fly. I've seen a few offered on eBay, went to look at them and they we rarely described correctly. I've seen one on ebay that's in California and it has a good description, good pictures and so on, but that's quite a drive to go see it before bidding. I...

So are the sounds of rotors keeping you awake this week. Spotlights lighting up your bedroom at 3 AM. Subway traffic disrupted for you and the family. Radio traffic blasting from your scanner's speaker. Are you feeling a deep rooted urge to vote in the next few months.

Just wondering if anyone has built the Hot Rod Helicopter using the plans from Vortech Online? Any thoughts / comments as to the quality of the plans? Thank you Dan

Does anyone here have experience in all three of these type a/c? I would like to know which of the 3 would handle cross winds best and which has a safer overall operational record. So far, I've read that the gyro is better with crosswinds (ref Dr. Taggart) than even some factory fixed wings. I...

The scene was where we hear the pilot talking to the coppilot. Through the night vision system through the HUD, we see figures in robes. They don't appear to be armed. The one on the right gets blasted, then the one on the left. Does anyone have any info on that footage?

Witnesses reported seeing kite string wrapped around the heli. http://news12.com/LI/topstories/article?id=118790 Could that even cause a heli to crash? I'd think that a kite string would be easily broken... and even if it did wrap around a control area, I'd think that the helicopter would have...

Although you will have "turbine" time, employers are looking for turbine time inan aircraft that can carry people/long line..etc. That you are getting the experiance of working the helicopter. If you and someone else had the same hours, and turbine time, but he had it in a 206 or a 500, I bet I...

It it possible to get into vortex ring state (or settling with power) during an autorotation? A friend at my radio control helicopter field claimed that you shouldn't do a vertical autorotation, because you might enter vortex ring state if you do. This doesn't seem right to me based on my limited...

Rule number one. ALWAYS bring your CFI a snack and a drink when you show up. It's a lot like feeding the animals at the zoo, they still might growl at you, but they probably won't eat you for dinner. Jim

I've been monitoring this group for about 18 months and have found that it deals almost exclusively with civilian rotorcraft. Is there a Usenet group that discusses military rotorcraft, instead? Vygg

Was flying Bell 206 in Johannesburg, early 1970's. At the time there were only five civil helicopters registered in all of South Africa. I forget the exact reason for this event, but it included a lot of the local politicians at the Britstown Tower in downtown Johannesburg. The tower is similar to...

Am looking to purchase a GPS. As this is the ROTORCRAFT forum I don't need to say (but I will) that the gps must be easy to see, easy to operate (1 handed?) and light weight (in case strapped to kneeboard). I have been looking at the Garmin GPSmap 196. It has a black and white screen not the color....

JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced their earlier engagement or even if George had given Barb a diamond instead of a cheap...
