She said "That's a very expensive hobby, I think you should sell your helicopter" I said "You sound like my ex wife" She said "I didn't know you'd been married before" I said "I haven't"

hy every one I'm new in this forum ! yesterday I have an near by accident with my 300C , in a long trip I take bottle of water to drink it , when I replace the cap I lost it with my left hand in the fast motion to take that before it fall on ground floor , I hit the cyclic lever roughly and to helicopter start to make an hammer head and by this way I put the right pedal on the floor freeze like that. After retaking my cense I put the cyclic forward to don't make a complete 360 loop , after that I'm was stil spinning at this I'm was sure to die in a crash in the wood in middle of nowere,after that when I have stabilise a little bit my descend , I realise that my left was freze full foward on the my right rudder , after that I get off my feet on right and apply on the left . Ater retaking the control of the helicopter , I land in the first land to decompress, after that I made an inspection , and I realise the chance I had . The trail rudder had little bit hit the tailbom , I speak with a lot a people an no one have see anthing like that. Moral of this history never make anything in a helicopter than piloting and other thing never let free thing on the floor. Thank Martin

Where can you find a list of all ADs for a 1953 Bell 47G model. I have tried the FAA site and it was no help at all. The page for Find an AD comes up unavailable. Please help. Joe

From an article and drawing in the magazine Popular Mechanics (can’t provide link as it is a subscription only), they are ‘weights’. https://images.app.goo.gl/anv4GN7NQ5GfxMAW9

Hello fellow helicopter pilots! I hope this message finds you all in great spirits. I am reaching out to this esteemed community today to gather reviews and feedback specifically related to the Bose A30 headset when used in helicopter environments. As I prepare for my helicopter training, I understand the importance of investing in a high-quality headset that offers exceptional performance, comfort, and reliability. The Bose A30 has been catching my attention, but I have heard some rumors suggesting that it may not be as well-suited for helicopter operations compared to fixed-wing aircraft. If any of you have had the opportunity to use the Bose A30 headset while flying helicopters, I would greatly appreciate your insights and personal experiences. Cheers Matt

Just a guess- mass (weight) balance, to offset the torsion load of the weight of the blade feathering axis.

What is the purpose of the small protrusions extending from the blades of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter? I googled and googled, but couldn't find an answer. I know nothing about helicopters (Other than riding a few in my Army days). I came across this forum randomly and figured someone here might know. I've attached a photo. Cheers, Dan K.

Well I finally got my packet submitted and was accepted on the most recent board! I guess there is a way to get above an 80, glitch or not, and they seemed to accept that score the whole way through the process. Big thanks to everybody on this board asking and answering questions, this place has been an awesome resource to have going through the application process.

Looks like 6 C-12 pilots can play AF in the QOL department. Almost 20% selection rate this time.
