Remember
Good Helicopters (even kits) Aren't Cheep.

I recently purchased a completed Scorpion 133 and am looking for literature.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Les Malzman

Does anyone know anything about the E-Z Copter? The one with two small engines mounted on the rotor. I have the plans, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever built one of these things. The Popularlink site has a photo of one flying, but I'm skeptical.

Please advise, Regards,

Hank Giles

FYI
Due to no reply (except for a Christmas card) from the manufacture. My plans to organize a  trip to Italy this March for my self  n the people interested in a first hand look
n flight in the Kompress is canceled.
However,
the Kompress in my opinion is one of the best kits available at this time n deserves your serious consideration. Please, if you are sincerely interested, make your own plans to visit them n ten years from now you will have had one of  there sporty creations in your garage to fly for the past 9.5 years with years of  life ahead of you to safely enjoy.

An Interesting foto to say the least I am sure you'll agree.

Mr. Westermyer on the left, the gentleman who's blades are used on all HeliSport product.
Augusto Cicare on the right, the designer of  the CH-7 Angel, 912 n Kompress.
and
Look in the background, the Rotax 582 - 66 hp powered Angel is lifting 3 in the air,
vary impressive I am sure you will agree.

I know one other manufacture that also uses the 582 in his kit helicopter, he flies in a vary proficient but small in stature pilot all the way from Europe to demonstrate/fly his 582 powered craft at SnF. I guess just so it will operate out of ground affect in the hot spring Florida weather (I wonder what happens in the summer weather to that same helicopter).

Remember boys n girls, sad to say, there are snakes in the grass selling helicopters to the un aware / educated. By looking at the foto above, the 582 is obviously a competent engine,  but only if it is mounted in the right helicopter.

If after reading through
Sport Helicopter n Pilot Global Information Exchange
you feel it to be a worth wile web site and  are willing to contribute 1 dollar to insure it's continued existence on the InterNet by helping pay SHnPGIE's out of  pocket expenses,
please click the button below

---

Honestly speaking, SHnPGIE's contributions have dropped of tremendously in the last 6 months, if this means there is no longer much interest in this WWWeb site, well I'm sad to say that one day the "law of  the jungle" will likely take over n SHnPGIE will die.

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.

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.

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.
