To whom it may concern,
I have recently come across some sealed military drums. One opened so far
contains a main rotor assy. #S10-10-1400-3. Made by Sikorsky. I am told that
one of these drums contains a complete engine. I will open as time allows.
Anyone interested should contact Joe at Bansheegoe@aol.com
Thank you.

Two Cool Sites to Test your Modem Speed
VitalSign's Net.Medic or BandWidth Speed Test
If U R up n down loading files like I always seem 2 B hosting SHnPGIE, I have found that by having Net.Medic running in the back round, only a click away, I can save lots of time since it shows a real time account of how fast things R moving in n out of your computer. If U see a slow speed, hit the refresh, reload buttons or just try later when the net is moving after.
BandWidth Speed Test gives U a one time evaluation of your average connection speed

G-1 PROBLEMS

It sounds like I am not alone in building the G-1 helicopter and being disapointed in the plans and control systems. So like all of you I have decided to build the G-1 and modify the aircraft
considerably. The airframe is basically the same with the exception of mounting the engine to the frame instead of the main mast, the tail rotor will be lenthened to a 32" diameter, main
rotor extended to 16' diameter. I heartily agree that a horizontal shaft engine should be mounted horizontally, therefore I have mounted my engine to the frame in a horizontal manor with
a simple differential to achieve the 90 degree directional change and speed reduction from engine rpm to main rotor rpm. There is one problem in the redesigning of this aircraft that I still have to overcome and that is the main rotor contral system. Can any one out there help with design information for this control unit. I am glad that I found this page on problems with the G-1 and even happier to find out that I am not the only one trying to redesign this aircraft.

I am trying to get any info at all on the construction of all composite rotor blades.

However, this seems to be something no one wants to speak about or knows about. I am sure someone out there either knows themselves or knows another person or a technical book that would be of help to me.

Please help, maybe in about 10 years I can bring the price down on some of these aviation items that are to expensive for most people thanks,

Help - Suggestions

Gents,

Ihave an 80 foot - 17 ton sailboat hull in Seattle, WA area,  400 feet in elevation on a mountain.

It needs to be moved to a wetter spot.  If money were no object, could this be done by helicopter?

If so what commercial outfit do you know to handle  the job?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Did revolution leave you high and dry without a tail rotor gearbox?

My name is Travis Taylor and I own a machine shop in southern California. I build aerospace tooling and machine flight hardware for the sport aviation community. I'm looking into manufacturing tail rotor gearboxes for the mini 500 based on the interest (response) of you the owners of this aircraft. Please e-mail me at time2fly@earthlink.com

Until than, please realize, I already contribute 10/20 hours a week hosting/editing SHnPGIE n I personally feel it only fair that the people that enjoy n profit from this site should also contribute something to help pay SHnPGIE's out of pocket expenses. So, needing cash for SHnPGIE  I  started selling a few things to help supplement SHnPGIE's contributions.

So, if  you're purchasing a book from Amazon, now or in the future, by clicking thru SHnPGIE, we will get a small (about $0.50) commission. Or if you use telephone cards, by purchasing from SHnPGIE, you will save a buck n SHnPGIE will make a buck since (we sell them for a dollar less than at your local convenience store). So if you have the need for one of the two for mentioned items, please click on the icon above.

It all adds up n will help maintain n perhaps allow me to cover additional helicoptering events, thus giving YOU more good stuff on helicopters to read n quality fotos to dream on n help SHnPGIE be on the WWWeb one more year.

It's all up to you, the reader  if  SHnPGIE is on the WWWeb after September 1999.
Right now I feel like the beggars we C on the PBS TV channels from time to time, they are annoying aren't they, sorry.

THANK YOU

Chicken Hawk is a story of a young boy that goes thru US Army  Warrant Officer Flight School becoming both a helicopter pilot and a man. The story starts in the late 60 in the USA, than onto VietNamand back. The author Bob Mason tells how he almost washed out of pre flight school but was allowed to take the "Hell Month" over again (6o days of Hell Month) and  almost a year later earned his wing as a Warrant Officer. He tells how he and many other set up one of the first Air Cavalry Divisions (perhaps the first, I can't remember). Any way, I  enjoyed Bob's book so much I have actually read 3 times so far and most likely will again. It is a great book for any one fascinated with the whirling wing/helicopter and or VietNam helicopter aviation. If you are forgetful like me, you can enjoy it 3 times for only $8.76 thru Amazon.com. Click here to order Chicken Hawk..........

Almost every one knows Chuck Yeager was the first human to break the sound barrier. But the story that leads up to him being in the right place at the right time and having "the Right Stuff" is equally as interesting as his mach 1 story. If I remember correctly (I read this one a few years back n only once) this book also starts out when Chuck was a young man on a farm, following him thru Army flight school, a W.W.II P51 pilot in Europe and back to Murrock/Eedwards AF Base, retiring a Air Force Brig. General....... Great human aviation story, great W.W.II story and great aviation history story all rapped up in one book for just 6 bucks thru Amazon.com. Click here to order eager......

You may have seen the movie or perhaps the segment on 6o minuets or 2o/2o type TV show recently. What a story that starts with a grope of young soccer players on a twin engine turbo prop plane flying thru the Andes in Chili South America and does not make it. I do not want to give it a way, but is is a great story and just keeps on coming and coming as you turn the page. Once again, I read this one a few years ago and with my memory, I will take it with me on my next long airline flight and read/enjoy it all over. Alive is also a bargain at $5.59 thru Amazon.com.
