Your original post. I am focused on S333 since that seems to be what you are on about and that is what I am referring to.

Talk with Randy at Fuch Helicopters in Switzerland. They are flying a couple for training, having taken two of the aircraft which were at Fast.

Danger End of the line?

In Post 16 [dated 2012] I reported the negative attitude of Sikorsky to the 434 [and therefore by default the 333] - well in 2013 I can report that that has not improved one iota.

Last month San Antonio PD in Texas [arguably the biggest fleet user] announced new orders or Eurocopter..... thereby announcing by default it is giving up its 333 fleet shortly.

The 333 looks like being a niche airframe flown as and when someone breaks another one.

The situation with the S300/269 looks little better

I can't see how its better for S300. We can't get parts like booster or rotor dampers for ages. Shortly, Enstrom will fill its place.

Thanks JTobias for the info. after an evening of thoughts. I think I might mount it on a plinth 30ft in the air at my business address for a few months whilst I work out the best plan for G-TAMA. Such a shame to dismantle a fine heli

Fuch Helicopters in Switzerland have just retired the three 333's they operated (including the two ex TAM machines) for the same reason; none existant support from Sikorsky.
I expect the aircraft will be broken up, with Fuch concentrating on MD500's.

Schweizer 333 parts (G-Tama)

Hi Hughes500,

not sure if you received my previous message however we recently purchased G-TAMA schweizer 333 with a view to installing it as a bit of a curio at one of our sites. It has many parts missing and we are interested in acquiring these to give the impression of a fully functioning machine.

The mains parts we are looking for include (sorry if my terminology is incorrect),:
The main blades and blade assembly clamp
Rear tail rotor/blade
Selected cockpit instruments.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards


Christopher Mason.

333 parts

Try contacting either SP Helicopters in Germany or Fuchs Helicopters in Switzerland. Both have two or three 333's which are for disposal, plus spares, including some unserviceable items.

PM me if you need a point of contact.

Answers on a post card !
I am interested in the S333 parts you have.
Can you kindly email me the description of the parts for the S333 and how much you want for them.
My email is [email protected].

Many thanks
