The Golden West Airshow (June 12-14) is scheduled to see several homebuilt helicopters. Expected are Mosquito, Rotorway, Safari, Helicycle and possibly an Ultrasport. Good x-section. The Experimental Helo Magazine will have a booth... stu

Central Sierra Helicopter Meet was a grand success. There were a couple of R-44s, several R-22s, Two Bell 47s and two Jet Rangers. With all of the certified clutter out of the way, there were two helicycles flying, several under construction showing the various aspects, a Mosquito flying all...

If an over weight pilot exceeds the recommended seat weight of his helicopter, will this affect undersling enough to cause an increase in the 2/rev vibration??? Does increasing G forces cause an increase in 2/rev?? Stu

I'm looking for a used copy of Ray Prouty's More Helicopter Aerodynamics. Also for the copy titled Even More Helicopter Aerodynamics. These issues are required for a research project I'm doing for the Experimental Helo magazine. Thanks

I'm selling my Safari $70K. If interested call (760) 377 4478 for a bunch of extras.

Have a project that needs 6 blades from the J-2. The blades need to be in flyable condition for the restoration of a rare McCullough tandem rotor helicopter. Any clues out there????

Just completed checking the wheels of 84 Surplus Solar T-62 turbine engine sets of wheels for cracks. Only found two turbine wheels with small cracks. No cracks found in the compressor wheels. These engines seem to be quite sturdy. We started several and looked at vibration levels with a...

Just got word of a Piasecki crash that involved Joe Pike and to other people who were on board. Joe had re-stored the twin rotor ship. Initial data seems to indicate an engine failure with the ship hitting power lines and burning. Joe was an outstanding wrench and pilot. Joe did a BFR for me...

FAR 91.409 involves itself with requiring some sort of special inspection program for turbine powered rotorcraft. Builders of Amateur Built turbine powered rotorcraft are being forced to generate some inspection program documentation to get the airworthiness certificate. Nearly all of these...

Looking for copies of Ray Prouty's "Helicopter Aerodynamics", and "More Helicopter Aerodynamics", and "Still More Helicopter Aerodynamics". Stu Fields

Anyone know of a transponder that can have the codes switched from a remote set of switches and a remote Ident button? I guess I'm asking if there are access points in a connector where this could be done, or has some whiz already done this? My helicopter likes it when I keep my hands on the...

Recently there was an accident with a very low time (3hr TT)RotorWay helicopter being piloted by a high time RotorWay experienced instructor and the owner a commercial rated helo pilot. They were hovering at a 3' level with the owner at the controls when it snapped rolled to the left so hard...

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...

I finally got a few (15) minutes in a turbocharged Enstrom. Controls heavier than what I'm used to. CHT issue at 4500' two up and 65F Overboost light while hovering Vibration level felt a bit more than my two blade Safari Auto very nice. No VSI but it looked a lot nicer than the...

The Safari near Phoenix that crashed with the loss of two lives is now followed by a RotorWay in Vermont flown by Ronald York that crashed resulting in the Death of Mr. York. The investigation of both accidents is pending.

I just found the following rotorcraft chat group that does delve into some of the engineering problems dealing with rotorcraft. I found it to be an excellent source of information. It is /www.eng-tips.com and look for rotorcraft engineering. Stu Fields

I've acquired an HA-6 Carburetor part # 10-5045. I would like use it to replace the updraft carb on my 0320-D2J that is mounted vertically in my Safari. Is there a manual covering this carburetor? Does it require a fuel pump? Stu Fields Safari driver
