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...

in most conditions I wil want to use a micro balancer in the future as
future preventive maintenance will tend to cause changes to current
settings. Must be a 100 or so out there now with no use because most
Mini-500 owners...

Autorotation ? R22 for the Experts by

UFO HeliThruster and IFR? by

Yes, I confess. I don't know much about rotorcrafts. Especially
regarding gyrocopters my knowledge is even more limited.
However, on the net I just stumbled over UFO HeliThruster. Rumors are
that it is rather stable. The manufacturer not only sells kits but also

I have a number of options for the use of a recent inheritance, one of which

What could a Helicopter Pilot expect to earn, flying in Australia?
I realise this may be a little like asking, "How long is a piece of string?"
