I would guess the nuts are 1 on the bottom of the main shaft in the gear box below the drive pinion gear and 1 possibly above the gear. then there is 1 on the top of the shaft holding the rotor head to the shaft. only guessing though, as I aint an engines ear.

Ah, correlators....
The one in the Sioux (Bell 47) seemed to have a mind of it's own - it was called the analog randomizer - sometimes it was add throttle as you lowered the collective, sometimes it was take it off.
Kept you on your toes.

Robinson Quiz
No prizes, no self gratification in posing the questions just for amusement on a wet january night! Interesting about the different attitudes towards a simple quiz though.

5./ The two nuts that you cant see: Is it the two that are on the end of the spindle bearings in the M/R blades?!? 
How about a 6th question (though this has probabily been done before.....)
How many 'split' or 'cotter' pins are there on the R22?

Anyone out there who have survived an R22 enginestop?
Just out of sheer curiosity I had to ask the question. Iīve read lotīs of reports on helicopters (others than the R22) which suffered enginestop and made an autorotation which was succesfull.
However, I have not read to many reports where a where a R22 had suffered enginestop and made an succesfull autorotation.
I am not after starting som R22 bashing thread. Just curious as I said.

Lots!! No reason why it should be different to any other single engined machine provided you are actually FLYING the machine and it's not 'in command'.
Know one personally - had fuel problems although can't recall details as it was a couple of years back. Landed in one of CA's many (empty) flood areas, waited for mechanic and flew it out same day.
Only injury was to his pride of many years incident free flying! And the student wasn't put off either - he's a CFI now.

Kates,
You perhaps ought to define what you mean by engine stop, but I have "survived" a real autorotation and forced landing initiated by an engine problem - so did the aircraft and the other occupant, without injury or damage other than a briefly raised heart rate.

I had a share in an aircraft that suffered an engine failure due to a problem with the breather pipes to the fuel tanks. It suffered a complete and sudden engine stop and down it went. The solo pilot carried out a successful landing subject to cutting the tail boom clean off just before the strobe light. Not bad considering he was extremely low time and hadn't flown for almost 5 months
Yep, I survived two in the R-22 (one right after the other). Both were on MX flight tests and were just in the hover. Both were kinda expected, so was only hovering at the time, and therefore no big deal. The aircraft acted as expected, just like you train for.

Trailering an R22
We are purchasing a new R22 and would like to know what experience others have had in doing the same. We would like to pull the helicopter behind the motorhome when we go to various fly-ins so that we have all of the comforts of home and the helicopter at the same time.

Avoid potholes
To: Helocfi
Trailering a helicopter for any distance can cause problems such as brinelling the bearings and gears in the transmission. It could also expose the blades to excessive flexing due to the undulating motion of the trailer. You would also exposes the skid gear attach points on the fuselage to repetitive shock loads. And your instruments would not fair very well due to the vibration.
If you are serious then I would suggest the following. Build a floor for the helicopter to rest on and attach this floor to the trailer with springs. Someone a lot smarter than me would have to select the proper springs or shock isolators so that the helicopter would in fact be detuned or isolated from all of the repetitive shock loading
Good luck.
