Civil SA-341G Gazelle operations
Im looking for a SA-341G in the USA and would like to learn as much as possible about the Aircraft.
Such as:
Flying qualities
Operational costs
Any known problems with the drivetrain and airframe.
"Fenstron stall" , what causes it
and how to prevent it.
Id like to talk to any Military or
Civil pilots with hours in the Gazelle
and their opinions about it.
Also would like to talk to any mechanics
who know the Aircraft and have opinions about maintaining it.
Anything else of interest.
Ive heard the Helicopter is very reliable but is very "french" (electrical problems) and might be tough to maintain the SA-341G in the USA.
Thanks for your help.
