Tom,

I can't speak for everyone else, but I see no reason why this news
group can't be used for rotorcraft related maintenance issues. What
might be the benefit of starting a separate area?

I think you will find that most mechanics work on more then just
Robinson. Having a general area like this news groups might give some
insight to some issue on a other makes and models too.

Eric,
I see your point in wanting to share information. That's why a inquired about a
newsgroup for Robinson mechanics.
I don't know how many other helicopter mechanics haunt this site.
I've been visiting this site for several years and have found very little
maintenance traffic.

I'm a mechanic in the UK Licensed on 355 350 206 315 & 47.
Yes, I have often thought that the Usenet could do with a mechanics forum
but even with the enormous increase in size of the internet in general I
still think there are to few mechanics to make a separate group viable.

Well, let's see if we can change some of that if the group wants too.
Anyone here a PAMA member? For those that don't know what this is, it
stands for Professional Aviation Maintenance Association pama.org I
have not joined. I was at the Great Lakes Aviation Conference this
last weekend in Lansing, Michigan. Anyone else there from this news
group? I attend this for FAA approved classes that can be used to
renew my inspection authorization. According to the PAMA rep, you're
A&P is worth 67 credits if you wish to obtain a college degree. I am
looking into this. I've been an A&P over 31 years. I am tired of the
excuses that I can't get a promotion without a degree.

If you want good mechanical insight there are several A&P and IA's at
the Yahoo group entitled:
robinsonr22helicopters
The above is the exact spelling. Just go to yahoo and then "groups"
then search for it.
Very good forum. Not all the experimental/hybrid/never-get-off-ground
junk like here.
Also, try PPrune.org
Another excellent heli site.

Good luck!
