Where did all the Silver State Helicopters go. I am sure someone got control of them but who as I have not seen them show up for sale anywhere.

Anyone know the current status of the Neo helicopter kit by youngcopter? This is German built kit that looks a lot like the MD 520N. Their web site has not been updated since June 2008 and I could not find any info on the fight testing.

I've been reading up on gyro precession as it refers to gyroplanes. It seems that is not how a rotor disc works on a gyroplane. The info I've found so far states that: a two blade rotor system doesn't tilt by precession, but that it's entirely aerodynamic and uses vane (pitch?). How does gyro...

I was making some soup and dumplins and just like rotorcraft flying I got P.I.O. problem. You have to cook them with the lid on so the steam will bake the dumplins. However trying to find just the right setting on the old electric stove is not always easy. Turn the dial up to much and it begins to...

After reading a lot over the www about RAF gyros, I'd seen that many of the accidents seem to be related to pilot error. I wondered if anybody knew how many RAF2000 had been sold? I heard it was in the neighbourhood of eight hundred or so kits. I was trying to make an accident percentage based on...

http://w3n-a.blogspot.com/2008/12/secondary-stall.html This stall is called a secondary stall since it may occur after a recovery from a preceding stall. It is caused by attempting to hasten the completion of a stall recovery before the airplane has regained sufficient flying speed. When this...

http://w3n-a.blogspot.com/2008/11/slow-flight.html Slow flight could be thought of, by some, as a speed that is less than cruise. In pilot training and testing, however, slow flight is broken down into two distinct elements: (1) the establishment, maintenance of, and maneuvering of the airplane at...

Hi, can somebody recomend a software with questions for the PPL H Exams. I only need Performance & Flight Planing and principles of Flight, having allready the fixed wing.

I confess. I'm a rotor winged whore. In spite of the degredation of this board and the slipping of standards, I keep hoping for things to improve. Perhaps that is the mantra for a helicopter pilot? Damn that just made me laugh. Maybe I am good for something after all? Why has this NG gone south?...

He even mentioned a good friend of mine, Gil Armbruster, who also perished flying his homebuilt Revolution Mini500. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aviation.rotorcraft/msg/56e21d4e4f21379d RIP Bill, Monk

Anybody any idea what's happened to the AAIB report on Colin McRae's accident? It doesn't normally take a year to get a report out. There is nothing on the AAIB web site. Slatts

Continuing problems seeing ATCRBS transponders with Mode S interrogators Hey all, I work in, lets call it 'an associated industry' and we are still seeing ATCRBS transponders that reply to some interrogators, and not to others. At one time this was known as the 'P4 problem', sometimes as...
