I'm really interested in these new ZOCHE aero-diesels www.zoche.de. They are air cooled, piston ported, radial configuration, turbo- and supercharged, high pressure direct injection 2-stroke diesels. The 70hp weighs 55kg (121lbs) and uses 10.1L (2.68gal) per hour @75%. The TBO is expected to be...

I got the excellent opportunity to fly an EC120, AS350, Jet Ranger, and 407 all within a two day span. And the winner is: The Bell 407. There are features I really like about the Eurocopters like their cabin layout, comfy seats, excellent maintenance access, and baggage storage areas. However,...

Held my GPS, Jep CR5, sectionals, knee board, flashlights, gloves, knife, Leatherman, signal mirror, misc other items that accumulate in a pilots flight bag. A call to Continental told...

Two questions. 1. What ever became of the X-wing stopped rotor concept? It seemed to be a big thing in the 1980's but just went away. Is anyone still working on it? 2. IN a similar Vein, did the Canard Rotor Wing X-50 Dragonfly ever recover from its accident? Thanks!

To me the gyrocopter principle seems to be much cheaper (and safer?) than the heliocopter. Why has development of medium and larger size gyrocopters stopped? And smaller are also very few? Joachim Colling www.collings-system.se

Are Jet engine % Tachometers interchangeable between engines or are they set to a specific engine?

I have a UH-1 tailpipe with cooling fins and looks like a heat exchanger and a line for fuel. Was this used to reduce the heat signature and risk of heat seeking missile attack.

Just a question-- how does the X-15 or the V-22 compare to a real helicopter when hovering? Can they do helicopter style manuvers, or are we talking more just up and over on the way to horizontal flight?

I'm a fixed wing kinda guy looking to get a rotor add-on. It seems to me that there are plenty of nice Brantlys out there for less than a $100K. My questions to the group are; 1. Is it do-able to get my training in my own machine? insurance, instructors, does the instructor have to have been...

Hi I need a perspective so this is a general question . If a 6 foot dia. tail rotor is turning 2500 rpm how many pounds of static thrust at a particular pitch angle would be produced???? And is that for a flat rotor blade meaning no helical twist. Any senario close to the above would be a big help....

One pair of brand new, custom machined, adapters which will mate a standard ISO bicycle brake rotor to a 6" Azusalite split-rim Nylon Wheel. Great for *any* aircraft application... amateur-built experimental or ultralight... fixed wing, trike, powered parachute, gyroplane, etc... using...

I have a UH-1H that I want to get running for a display or just something to turn up in my back yard. I need a T-53 engine it does not need paperwork or be airworthy just runable. I also need another transmission it also does not need to be airworthy. Any contact would be helpful . Brien
