Stu Fields
Central Sierra Helicopter Meet was a grand success. There were a couple of
R-44s, several R-22s, Two Bell 47s and two Jet Rangers. With all of the
certified clutter out of the way, there were two helicycles flying, several
under construction showing the various aspects, a Mosquito flying all...

Question for the Turbine pilots. by
601XL Builder
We have a doctor who just bought a 206 and after less than a month the
chopper has been sent for a new engine. I heard he had a "Hot Start" and
burned out the engine.
While I'm both fixed wing and helicopter certified I have zero
experience with jets so what did he do? And what's it gonna cost him?

Helicopters? by
Ol Shy & Bashful
I confess. I'm a rotor winged whore. In spite of the degredation of
this board and the slipping of standards, I keep hoping for things to
improve. Perhaps that is the mantra for a helicopter pilot?
Damn that just made me laugh. Maybe I am good for something after all?
Why has this NG gone south?...

Folks,
I've been cleaning out my ultralight construction area and have found
some old, unused plans for both the Gyrobee and the Bumble Bee. Anybody
need these for about $50 plus a few $$s for shipping?

"Interesting" NY Times Article by
Steve R.
That's an interesting one. Thanks for sharing.
I'm curious why they can't account for the hours flown. The article
indicates that they don't have data on past hours flown so they can't
speculate whether or not the increase in accidents has anything to do with
an increased number of hours flown...

Linden Accident - Question about "Droop Lock" by
Bob Chilcoat
I was talking to a Sikorsky pilot at our airport about this accident:
http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20050926X01530&key=1
He said that Sikorskys have a "droop lock" in the cockpit that should
prevent the rotor from getting too low. How does this work? Does it leave
a certain amount of...

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. ...
