Seems this area hasn't been touched in awhile and the group is getting stale. Well, let me stir the pot and see who is still aboard. My very first feeling of emergency I think, occured when my instructor said, "YOU HAVE IT", but he was also quick to relieve me of the anxiety and settled the...

I was hoping that I could get some advice on the Ultrasport Kit helicopter, in particular on REAL build times for the 331 and 496??. I have been told that the Rotorway is approximately 800-1000 hours, and that the ultrasport is far quicker at about 300 hours. I am from the UK, and there are no...

It would appear that the majority in aus.aviation seem to think this shot http://www.thedamnedestthing.com/page15.html was moments from impact, but then they fly the wrong type of aircraft in that newsgroup, so what would they know. If not how is it still in the air at that angle? My "hunch" is...

Ello All : Just wondering if anyone recorded that documentary (MSNBC Investigates) called "Extreme Choppers" that was first aired in 2000 and was recently in a rerun and / or if anyone knows where to buy a copy of that? I've looked on MSNBC and online but can't find it. It's the one that feature...

I Have Just seen the JAG video and it is real! I hope Joe will forgive me for posting negative comments that were not based on factual information. I had information from a third party who was clearly out to discredit the program, and try to run it into the ground. When you see the video and go to...

.....from R.L. Darling Mr. Chitwood, I have been following Rick Stitts misadventures for over a year now. I have a RotorWay Exec and a Helicycle helicopter and have two friends with Mini-500's that have the Stitt touch on them. One has had the re-built cones and transmission and the other...

I'd like to ask...what did I ever do to them to deserve such lies except give him $22,000 of hard earned cash, a year and a half of my own sweat, and refusing to lower...

Below is a quote from the FAR AIM Section 61.99 which lists the minimum "Aeronautical" experience required to get a REC Helicopter license. Notice that it never really says anything about helicopters. Paragraph (a)(2) and (b) are the only two that specifically say "in the aircraft for the rating...

Please believe us...or you will die...GUARANTEED. Rick Stitt replaced the cones on my aircraft. All he did was remove one of the four bearings and replaced it with an outer spacer, then drilled a hole in the spacer ONCE IT WAS INSTALLED to allow for oil fill. There is not even an inner spacer. ...

Does anyone know of a source of renters insurance for a student R22 pilot? I was on AOPA's website and they only cover fixed wing. I'm not comfortable with the amount of insurance my school carries. Thanks Dave

If a Blackhawk has a tail rotor failure how fast does it have to be going at max weight to trail in the wind and at what speed do they do a running landing?
