Dear All,
Does the RAF still use Rotortune on their Pumas and has anyone used RADS-AT on the same?

Thanks, Flag T.

The last I heard was that Helitune Ltd. of Great Torrington were maintaining rotortune kit.

Ahh, the RotorTune! Yes, Helitune still make the RotorTune line of products. I don't know what version they use on the rotary fleet now.

Anyone for a RUG copy!

Good ol rotor toon

Darn't look in me log book for the hours of sore back spent on the 'fore mentioned. Great kit mind. But, couldn't be bettered by a techie who could interpret the gen, knew the fix and could 'sense' the solution. Still have much respect for the Staish at Benson in the late nineties who, on appearing at ops for his SCT, overheard the duty engo requesting a pilot for a rotortune and immediately stepped up before he did his trip. Guess that's one reason he ascended the star ladder.

P.S. Did one once when the stick hit all 4 corners of the quadrant before we got to the fuel shut offs.
