Hey Kevin. You know a bunch about the simulators on the market today. I may not be able to fly again for real so a simulator could help to fill in the time. Can you lead me to some affordable simulators available, especially for helicopter simulators. Affordable means a couple thousand or...

Anybody know how many UH-1 are still in use by Reserve units or active Army?

Surprisingly, according to the NZ CAA Register, there are more R22 Betas registered than any other aircraft type fixed or rotary wing. and R44 Raven II comes in 3rd! http://www.caa.govt.nz/Script/Air_Mod.asp

There's a rumour going around that Dennis Fetters perished in a Brantly crash in Argentina in July. For a rumour, that's very specific, and I'm going to check it out in Argentina. But it seems to me that it's pretty farfetched for several reasons. Seems like this group might be a place to...

We recently received an article for our magazine where the author performed a balance of his tail rotor on a bench using an electric motor and a dial indicator instead of an electronic balancer. I was impressed with his thinking outside the box. If there is any interest in this out there, I...

I'm just curious how many of you have flown on top? Either way, why or why not? I have. but didn't like doing it. It was to avoid flying too low among the blue ridge mountains when there were low layers hanging in the valleys. (I had a Garmin 396 with XMWx so from the sat/radar view I knew what...

....to get a little stick time? I'm a newbie (about 180 hours split between the 300C and the R22) and I would dearly like to buy a helicopter. No justification at all -- just a huge fascination with helicopters. I think my short list includes a Robinson or a Bell 47. But I've never flown a Bell and...

Just attended a fly-in at Westport OK. There were some 27 helicopters there. Attending were Rotorways, a Brantly, some R-22s, a R-44, Schweitzers, a Hiller and a Safari. Only one of these ships had the tail rotor turning in the "right" direction. It as the Safari. It seems that Bell,...

Is anyone aware of anyone in Minnesota who has a Rotorway helicopter 162F? Scott

Posting for someone else: Can anyone confirm for me the U.S. military designation of the Eurocopter EC145 Light Utility Helicopter, or LUH, for the U.S. Army? I'm pretty sure it's going to be the H-72. (The H-70 is the Bell 407 Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter; the H-71 is the AgustaWestland...

Hi all....I hope I'm not breaking a rule about posting something for sale! I have a bit of rotorcraft memorabilia that may be interesting to some in this NG, so I wanted to let those know that don't troll ebay....I apologize if I offend anyone by posting something for sale...

Hi guys.. I'm in the market to purchase a heli headset, the ol` fixed with converter plug has had it days!! Any recommendations out there?? I must say my favs are the Flightcom Denalli or the Sennheiser HMEC 450.. but am I best to stick with David Clarke like the rest of the aviation world ??

rotor-heads, I'm a private pilot with about 100 hrs fixed wing, and about 15 hrs in the R-22 years ago. Sometimes I think about finishing that helicopter add-on that I started and maybe build a significant number of hours. I've seen used R-22s, within 300 hrs of refurbishment selling for 40-50k. ...
