Enstrom on ebay
There's a 1979 Enstrom f28-c on ebay. The seller says it needs one main
blade and both tail blades. I'm guessing this would at least double the $47k buy it now price? Any ideas on the cost of those parts? Yea, I'm still thinking about buying a helicopter. The winnings are doing well in my investments and it just might be doable sometime in the future. Joe (Millionaire) ;-) |

One has to wonder why it needs one main and two tail blades. I can only think of a few scenarios. - that the tail has timed out at the same time of one of the main blades in which case why were the others replaced during its lifetime? - that one of the main blades was replaced by a second hand one during the lifetime of the set - It's had a knock or been vandalised or something? Is there an innocent explanation? Regards Andrew |

I didn't think the blades were life limited on Enstroms and were replaced on
condition if they start to delaminate? davdirect |

I wouldn't like to have been the one who flew the thing to where it is now :-) Regards Andrew |

Enstrom main rotor blades are "on condition" with no specific hours to
replacement. Three major problems that can occur a delamiantion, errossion and corrosion. The MR baldes on that particular F-28C-2 are delaminated. The TR blades are also damaged. I know of another Enstrom mechanic who went and looked at it. It needs alot of work and major bucks to made it airworthy. Be care, the price is too high for that Enstrom. |
