If you're purchasing a book from Amazon, now
or in the future, by clicking thru SHnPGIE, we will get a small commission
which will help maintain n perhaps allow us to cover additional helicoptering
events, thus giving YOU more good stuff to read n fotos to dream on.
THANK YOU
As most of you know, sound files are even bigger than foto files. This
being the case, I suggest AFTER finishing reading
this short paragraph you double click on the little helicopter below.
After the double click, your computer will contact my computer. If
it's like mine, a window will first pop up asking you to save or open the
file. I suggest you choose open (feel free to save later if you want).
After making ether choice, your computer may show you a loading status
window. I suggest you take your mouse pointer n click on the page any place
other
than the loading status window. This should minimize the window
and allow you to read the text n view the fotos, thus occupying your time
as you wait for the sound file to load. Once the sound file is finished
loading a sound player window should pop up.......

The Instructor, Ige
Barbero waits out side as the student starts up the Kompress's Rotax 914
Turbo Charged Power Plant.
Looking in the
upper left corner, you will notice the 2 RPM needles comming off the bottom
pegs as the Kompress comes to life.
Ige Barbero,
actually the president and one of the 4 owners of HeliSport climbs
in an straps him self in with a 4 point hitch. Obviously, Mr. Barbero is
one of the reputable manufactures that believes in his helicopter enough
to not only take her up to altitude, the day I was there (Nov. 14, 1998)
he spent a minimum of 6 hours giving dual instruction in his sporty n powerful
craft.

Here Mr. Barbero
n the student have lowered the Kompress's almost perfect canopy.
It seems Mr. Barbero has now changed from being the president of a company
(he once told me their company's goal was to be to small helicopters what
Ferrari is to the sports cars industry) to helicopter IP and in this foto
seems to be giving a few last minute instructions to the student as the
Kompress comes up to temp.
.
I have only flown the Kompress once, n that was
for only 15 to 20 minuets, so my memory may not be 1oo% with the following
starting procedure.
After completing other procedures:
1st Both Mag Off - Starter
Engaged
2nd After electric starter is spinning
the engine n rotors smoothly, One Mag Switched On
3rd Release Spring Loaded Starter
Switch
4th Switch On Second Mag
5th When 914 is running smoothly,
Rotate Throttle to bring Engine RPM up to 8o%
6th When All Gages are In the
Green, Engage Electronic Governor
