Would a gyro with a swashplate ( just for pitch control) fly any different (better,worse) than using a tilt type rotor head? Just more complex? Also, I've seen some photos of early kit helicopters that appear to have just a tilting head (no way to auto-rotate ?). Isn't this a bit of a death wish?...

I have seen a few Bell 47's lately and they look cool. Does anyone out there on this group own one? I hear that the model G or G2 is a good one and they sell pretty reasonable. How fast are they? How about altitude performance. Can a guy land them at 10,000 msl with a couple people on board...

PHOTOS: Rotorfest and PHL - October 04, 2009 Over 100 photos in this group. The highlight at Rotorfest for me was the Kaman K-Max and the Pilatus Porter jump plane. The clouds moved in briefly in the AM and gave us a short-lived scare, but they burned off. Plenty of copters and GA aircraft,...
