Stuart & Kathryn Fields
I just had a strange one. I have been balancing my rotor system using a DSS
balancer where I would get the ips and phase angle measurements, turn the

Flat free ground handling wheels by
Stuart & Kathryn Fields
I recently tried a pair of Marathon flat free wheelbarrow tires to replace
my pneumatic tires that had developed the habit of slowly leaking out the
air.
@#$%^ The rolling resistance was so great I couldn't move the helicopter by
myself. In fact even with my wife's help it was very hard to get...

Helicopter trailer by
Stuart & Kathryn Fields
Is there anyone out there? I have been dissatisfied with my trailer that
I'm using to haul my 1,000 # helicopter around. It is basically a car
hauler that I've stripped the springs down to 1 1/2 leaves and put soft car
tires on it to make the ride a bit softer. Even with the reduced springs,...

This is as clear as I can make it:
"Ask Dennis to identify *the Mini-500 prototype* for you."
Ok, ask me. What do you want to know about the "Mini-500 prototype". It
was the first Mini-500 I built, so it was a prototype. What point are
you trying to make? Please just...

Dumb Question by
JohnO
When designing rotor systems, you have to keep the tip speed subsonic
to prevent all sorts of problems and losses that would otherwise occur
at the sound barrier, right?
What about large turbofan engines such as on modern airliners? The fan
tips must be travelling at many orders of magnitude...

Joe landy
Hi all, Believe it's soon the weekend of Culdrose airshow. Anyone going?

dropping in by air? I'd be interested in hitching a...

R22 owners please help with AD 2004-06-52 by
rotortrash
For those of you unaware the FAA has issued an emergency AD
(2004-06-52) on March 18, 2004 that requires any R22 blade older than
10 years may no longer be used. The basis for the AD is questionable.
Little if any documented research was done to verify that the age of
the blade has any effect on...

Tired of having your photos rejected by those picky web sites? You
know who they are.
We have created a web site that has a "NO AVIATION PHOTO REJECTED"
policy.
As long as you keep it under 1200x1000 and it's aviation related. It's
approved.
