Now I am pissed that I can't get out to the hangar till next Friday. Too much stuff like road trips, music festivals, work.....

SHUDDUP!

I didn't know that you were checked-out in a H-13....or 47, Gabi. You fly it nice and smooth.....
That is the nicest looking 47 I've seen. I use to work on their main and tail rotor systems.

The pilots always seemed to feel better when I gave an exuberant YES, when asked if I wanted to ride along on the test flight.
Doing an auto in a 47 is a mild ride compared to a falling-down 269 .

Ed I don't have to be checked out in anything. I do have the highest possible rating short of ATP. Would I fly any helicopter though?
SHIT YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I do prefer a brief briefing before hand
Since you guys are so much in love with this baby I am going to upload a video I took while flying it. Let me cut where you can hear the whining sound just before pick up and the barking on decent plus the sound of the blade when you pull full collective on the spin don to slow the blades OK?
Coming soon. I am editing it right now.

ALright here we go.
Enjoy

Great Video Gabor, when do you fly it again?

I have no idea. I flight like that costs about 80-90 bux just in fuel.

yeah I bet it burns around 13 GPH. probably.

That kind of one of my Concerns about my Hillman Hornet, by the time my A&P gets it running, who knows what fuel prices will be.

but i think the 0-320 H2AD can burn auto gas, but not sure.

Easily 14 -15 gallons of 100 LL 269 burns 12-13

Gabor- Nice flying.

Thank you Stan. I really like the hydraulic on it

thank you gab fo the ride with you,these magic carpet are adictive a real drug,and bell 47 is so cool its the harley davidson of the piston helicopter,an old hotrod,do you see Scott's-Bell 47GT-6 http://www.verticalmag.com/news/article ... sBell47GT6

That's bad ass

That rotor would be a bear to control without hydraulics.....well, maybe you could with all your gobs of muscles, but you would be still be sweating like a fish in a couple minutes .
Thanks for the video Gabi!!

Thanks for the link to the Scott's Bell 47GT6 article !!!!!
I was not aware of the G6 until now
And that is because they only taught me to count to Bell 47 G2 ... HAAAAA!!!!
trivia : .... in my opinion Scott loves the Bell 47 so much he would rather be buried in the ground before that helicopter was put out to pasture

But his love is not a blind love , it also employs a good business plan that has obviously convinced the bankers and Bell Helicopters ... he has been working toward that for many years .... I love these American success stories !!!!

thanks again
Arnie
