X-posting several NGs. These are great for a new pilot simply with price being so low. They are both helicopter headsets which means you need a split adaptor to use in airplanes. Adaptors are readily available all over the place. I've checked them both recently in airplanes and helicopters and both...

Can't find a way to edit the simple minded ******* who has the hard on for Belfort so I am getting out of this group. You'll find me on the alternate board at Just Helicopters. Cheers Rocky

I have, up until now, always pulled...

Besides the autorotations done in and for training pruposes, how many of you have had to do an unplanned auto as in engine failure, mechanical failure, or other in flight difficulties? I've had at least five over the past 40 years just while doing aerial application in Bell and Hiller...

aluminum control tube failed causing helicopter crash. The helo had an anodized aluminum control tube that failed in fatigue with less than 400hrs. The loading was low producing stresses in the area of 460psi. Discussions with anodizing folks say "Never anodize flight critical components" ...

Weather going to **** and I had to make the runway with winds blowing 40kts and cloud deck down to 200. what to do...WHAT TO DO.. and I remembered my old USMC instructor telling me to just go inverted and autorotate to get some altitude.

Got to watch a V-22 Osprey doing touch and goes today at KBFM. What a fun hour of watching that amazing machine making the transition from hover to forward flight and back again. Wish to hell I could get some stick time in that one before I hang up my licenses in the next year or two. Wish to hell...

With any luck the clown who keeps posting his garbage re;Belfort will fall off a cliff or something and quit taking up all the room around here. Have seen his venom spewing on quite a few groups and wish he'd get the message we don't collectively care a whole lot. For the most part I ignore his...
