looking far a really great article by
Steve L.[_1_]
Hi,
I am looking for a helo magazine article, someones opinion on the last
page. It compared helo to fixedwing ops and had some very good thoughts.
One of them was that airlines make everything adapt to them to increase
safety. They operate in an almost completely known environment like

Thanks,
John

Helicycle by
Stu Fields
Well, advancing age brings with it some clear thinking and some not so
clear. I have purchased a Helicycle Kit and still own my Baby Belle.
People with more than one helicopter that aren't in some commercial business
are at least suspect. My wife is probably just patiently waiting for me to...

Helicopter Pilot Jobs by
Helicopter Pilot Jobs
Hello to the forum!!
First post and it's one for the rotorheads. I wasn't sure whether to post it here or under another section but I am sure if it needs to get moved/duplicated the moderators will do that.
Anyway, this is a website that was designed, built and is maintained by helicopter pilots....

remote controllable transponder by
Stu Fields
Anyone know of a transponder that can have the codes switched from a remote
set of switches and a remote Ident button? I guess I'm asking if there are
access points in a connector where this could be done, or has some whiz
already done this? My helicopter likes it when I keep my hands on the...

PHOTOS: Rotorfest and PHL - October 04, 2009
Over 100 photos in this group. The highlight at Rotorfest for me was
the Kaman K-Max and the Pilatus Porter jump plane. The clouds moved in
briefly in the AM and gave us a short-lived scare, but they burned
off. Plenty of copters and GA aircraft,...

Volume II of Ray Prouty's Helicopter Aerodynamics by

I've got my copy of what turns out to be a
MUST HAVE
addition to the Volume I work of the same title. Few people can write
