If you start a descent from cruse by reducing pitch and maintaining rotor speed, what happens to coning forces as compared to cruse? I have noticed that during a decent in a R22 that you can get a "Wop-Wop" noise from the main rotor blades. Changing cyclic or increasing rotor speed a very small...

This is a test. My messages keep disappearing from this and other forums, after only a couple of minutes.

Do any of you remember some terrorist guy that whated to kill Americans buy selling them a Helicopter death trap? i think he did kill a few, any news from Muhammad al Faris.

Well I didn't write anything last week because I had a really bad second day's flying. Having done really well the day before side-slipping round a hover square I think I went in to it with too much confidence. Early in the second hour I came down a little too hard on concrete and instantly got...

I'm looking for the two gentlemen that came down to Virginia to help Gil put together the doors for his Mini500. I was there helping also and I would like copies of the pictures that we took together at the end of the day. I don't remember the names of these two gentlemen, but I do remember that...

Looking for a used Chadwick-Helmuth any good used test equipment dealer web page link would be appreciated.

Hi I need a perspective so this is a general question . If a 6 foot dia. tail rotor is turning 2500 rpm how many pounds of static thrust at a particular pitch angle would be produced???? And is that for a flat rotor blade meaning no helical twist. Any senario close to the above would be a big help....

Howdy group, I just got my private pilot certicate (for airplanes) last week and I'll soon be starting on my gyrocopter certificate. (Actually I've already got 16 hours of dual logged in a gyro, and by next spring I plan to have a two place gyro of my own.) My question is this: Will experience a...

Have you priced the insurance on the 44? Thats what killed my dreams. Joe I'd been kicking around the idea of going in halves with a co-worker on an R22 but now that I've flown the 44, I don't think I want to go back to the 22s.. Anyone got $150k I can have???

Hey gang. A good friend is a high-time civilian pilot who is interested in going over to the Tsunami-damaged areas and flying relief missions. Additionally, he recreationally flies an Alouette II here in L.A. and the owner of that bird is willing to have it shipped overseas for this purpose as...
