Yes, some do have all of that. Here is a current listing: "BELL HELICOPTER SWASHPLATE OUTER RING ASSY.Part Number 540-011-404-5.Inspected,and yellow tagged as servicable,by the Corpus Christy Army Depot.Has Inspector's stamp on the Yellow Tag." - Current Price = $35 (Item number: 2453199587). Then again, all of that "yellow tag" stuff is meaningless to someone who builds and flys experimental. I tried to find the listing for the $500 hub, but it has expired. Does anybody need a new transmission? Try this one for $1326: "BELL HELICOPTER 0H-58 SERIES MAIN TRANSMISSION.Part Number 206-040-003-5,Serial # BLW-1833.Removed from service 9 July,1991,with failure code # 804 = No Defect.Was removed because the helicopter was being upgraded to AH-1P configuration,which required the 4 stage plantary transmission.Unit will require inspection,and possible repairs prior to return to service.NOTE!! TOTAL TIME IS 2524.0 HOURS,TIME SINCE OVERHAUL = 531.0 HOURS. COMPLETE HISTORICAL RECORDS ATTACHED" - (Item number: 2453345640). And there is more, but I'll let you find them yourself. No thanks on the bridges. I don't need them. I have a helicopter. Dennis. "Bob" wrote: Dennis... $500? That is what I'd call cheap too. Particularly if the time remaining to overhaul is adequate, the service life remaining of life limited parts is adequate, the hub is accompanied by a complete and authentic historical record documenting all of the above, it is free of incidents or damage requiring re-certification, and therefore also has a servicable (Yellow) tag attached to it. That of course, would be signed off by an FAA certified and authorized indvidual or entity qualified to make such a servicability determination. By the way, I've got a couple of bridges for sale here in N.Y.C. Are you interested? Bob V.

Dennis...
I must say that I'm beginnging to enjoy our little give and take here. Herein lies more "on sale" wisdom. NO MILITARY or EX-MILITARY aircraft parts are certified for use on civilian aircraft. The reason being that military aircraft fly beyond the allowable civilian flight dynamics envelope. That means that they operate in mission profiles that exceed flight manual and certification limits published in FAA Approved flight manuals and Type Certificate Data sheets for similar CIVILIAN aircraft. Some of these do make for interesting conversation pieces as wall hangings or things like lamps in a civilian market. Once upon a time here in New York there was a radio raffic reporter named Jane Dornacker. She and her pilot crashed into the Hudson River during a broadcast traffic report. I just happened to be listening to WNBC at that precise time. Jane Dornacker was killed.. Subsequent investigation revealed that the Enstrom helicopter they were flying in had an ex-military clutch installed which happened to fail causing loss of power to the rotor. Do a GOOGLE search on her name and you will eventually find the story. I hope that others in this forum may also benefit by some of the things that I tell you, because whatever I tell you, YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK. |

That's a nice fact to know about military parts. Nevertheless, you will find all sorts of interesting stuff on ebay. Some of it brand new. Most used. I saw a supersonic "blue angels" type fighter jet on there a while back that was going for about $150K. Stuff is sold at auction so if nobody else wants it, you can get it cheap. I'm not sure what happened to the traffic reporter. The pilot should have been able to do an autorotation if he had loss of engine power. Then again, being a traffic reporter, he may very well have been flying out of the envelope. Dennis H. "Bob" wrote: Dennis... I must say that I'm beginnging to enjoy our little give and take here.

When a "clutch" (freewheeling unit) locks up, your rotor stops turning.

Hi Bob, I would have thought the clutch has to lock up to transmit
torque from the engine, if it dosen't release when the engine fails, then you have a problem. Cheers Cam.. "Bob" wrote in message ... When a "clutch" (freewheeling unit) locks up, your rotor stops turning. Bob |

Pretty spiffy, I never knew that. The 280Fx was the first helicopter
I ever flew. Bart Bob wrote: Sorry That is 280-FX Shark Bob |
