Hey guys, I am thinking on giving a seminar on Tilt-Rotor Aircrafts as a part of my Mechanical Engineering Final Year Syllabus. However all the info i found on the net (read Google) deals with the BA-609 and the Osprey specifically and not with the concept of Tilt Rotors. Can anyone help me out?...

RotorWay International, based in Chandler, Ariz., has sold more than 900 kits for small homebuilt helicopters, and now is starting development of a certified version. "We see a large opening in the market for a larger, two-seat, 21st-century helicopter with a sensible price," said CEO Grant...

We have a doctor who just bought a 206 and after less than a month the chopper has been sent for a new engine. I heard he had a "Hot Start" and burned out the engine. While I'm both fixed wing and helicopter certified I have zero experience with jets so what did he do? And what's it gonna cost him?

I saw something on TV a few nights ago on Discovery Wings, on the show "A Chopper Is Born". For those not familiar with the show, a guy from England is building an Exec helo and the build process is filmed and played back in half hour segments. Any who... This particular episode focused on the...

I know there used to be a big Sikorsky fan on this group. If he is still around I hoped to see if tours are possible and if so what is really worth extra effort to see? Thanks Clayton

Anyone know what happened with these two? I remember things were going to be great and never heard much again. Thanks Clayton

I need to move my kit helicopter stuff from my house. I have fond a NEW shop right next to the airport here. It will be finished in about 2 weeks. I am looking to form a club to share the cost of the shop. I feel a shop would be better for builders than a hanger as far as power and water access. I...

Does anyone know what is happening with these guys lately? Thanks

Hello, I've looked 'high and low' but cannot locate a Speed Decreaser Gear (SDG) to fit a T58-GE-3 engine. I believe this motor originally flew in a UH-1F Huey. The SDG needs to be complete, in running condition but does not require 'air-worthy' paperwork (as this for a 'non-aircraft' application)...

I need some help identifying a part for a UH-1F. I'm trying to identify the throttle linkage arm that connects to the splined shaft on the fuel control of a T58-GE-3 turbine that was installed in the early UH-1F Hueys (aircraft 66-1222). Could you look in your pub and send me a picture of this...

Just wondering if anyone has built the Hot Rod Helicopter using the plans from Vortech Online? Any thoughts / comments as to the quality of the plans? Thank you Dan
