SOLO flight rules

Dennis , I don't think Andy would buy anything that didn't have lots of
'bright' paint and cost more than the neighbors one!

Andy,

I have some serious concerns about you. First off, I fly real
helicopters and not fake ones. The scorpion may not be an apache
longbow, but it IS a real helicopter. As far as parts on ebay, I see
them there all the time. I just passed up on a Bell hub for $500.
That is what I call cheap. Every now and then you see good deals on
ebay. Last week I saw a good helicopter headset for $10. You should
go there sometime and look. A few months ago, I saw a flying, but
timed out, R22 that didn't sell with a minimum bid of $25K. Oh, I
forgot, you don't consider the R-22 to be a real helicopter either.

Bob,
This guy Dennis is obviously a clown trying to cause concern among
real aircraft owners and pilots. His making reference to "a cheap one
on eBay" is a dead giveaway. He's just looking for a response. Typical
to these type of forums.

Dennis,
Go back to the remote control forum. Ha ha
Sincerely,
Andy

Dennis,
Thanks forreading my threads. If you had, you would have seen where I
advised you to finish your lessons IN AN R22 or Schweitzer.
I happen to like Robbies. I guess that's why I own one.

Dennis...

$500? That is what I'd call cheap too. Particularly if the time remaining
to overhaul is adequate, the service life remaining of life limited parts is
adequate, the hub is accompanied by a complete and authentic historical
record documenting all of the above, it is free of incidents or damage
requiring re-certification, and therefore also has a servicable (Yellow) tag
attached to it. That of course, would be signed off by an FAA certified and
authorized indvidual or entity qualified to make such a servicability
determination. By the way, I've got a couple of bridges for sale here in
N.Y.C. Are you interested?

Yes, some do have all of that. Here is a current listing:

"BELL HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE OUTER RING ASSY.Part Number
540-011-404-5.Inspected,and yellow tagged as servicable,by the Corpus
Christy Army Depot.Has Inspector's stamp on the Yellow Tag." - Current
Price = $35 (Item number: 2453199587).

Then again, all of that "yellow tag" stuff is meaningless to someone
who builds and flys experimental. I tried to find the listing for the
$500 hub, but it has expired.

Does anybody need a new transmission? Try this one for $1326:

"BELL HELICOPTER 0H-58 SERIES MAIN TRANSMISSION.Part Number
206-040-003-5,Serial # BLW-1833.Removed from service 9 July,1991,with
failure code # 804 = No Defect.Was removed because the helicopter was
being upgraded to AH-1P configuration,which required the 4 stage
plantary transmission.Unit will require inspection,and possible
repairs prior to return to service.NOTE!! TOTAL TIME IS 2524.0
HOURS,TIME SINCE OVERHAUL = 531.0 HOURS. COMPLETE HISTORICAL RECORDS
ATTACHED" - (Item number: 2453345640).

And there is more, but I'll let you find them yourself.

No thanks on the bridges. I don't need them. I have a helicopter.

Dennis.

I must say that I'm beginnging to enjoy our little give and take here.
Herein lies more "on sale" wisdom. NO MILITARY or EX-MILITARY aircraft
parts are certified for use on civilian aircraft. The reason being that
military aircraft fly beyond the allowable civilian flight dynamics
envelope. That means that they operate in mission profiles that exceed
flight manual and certification limits published in FAA Approved flight
manuals and Type Certificate Data sheets for similar CIVILIAN aircraft.
Some of these do make for interesting conversation pieces as wall hangings
or things like lamps in a civilian market. Once upon a time here in New York
there was a radio raffic reporter named Jane Dornacker. She and her pilot
crashed into the Hudson River during a broadcast traffic report. I just
happened to be listening to WNBC at that precise time. Jane Dornacker was
killed.. Subsequent investigation revealed that the Enstrom helicopter they
were flying in had an ex-military clutch installed which happened to fail
causing loss of power to the rotor. Do a GOOGLE search on her name and you
will eventually find the story. I hope that others in this forum may also
benefit by some of the things that I tell you, because whatever I tell you,
YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK.
