206 B-II main rotor blades
Yikes, we're getting close to expiration on the first set of blades on a 1975 206 B-II. Long wait for new ones and the market looks drained. Anyone here that has an extra set with some time left on them?
/p |
What part no? I'm sure you used to be able to mix -033 and -133 blades and can almost certainly fit -133 ('BIII') blades to a BII.
My old Jetbox had one of each. Of course, there's always the question of whether your BII is a Bell or an Agusta Bell machine...how different set of issues there. |
Blades...
All Bell, and since they've been on from 1975, it should be -033. Do you have a set in the garage?
|
I have a friend who has a set with a bit of time left, I will check the part numbers, send me a pm for details.
|
Sadly, none in the garage, but I do have a tailboom!
If RB's contacts don't come up good, try Aeroads, helicopterparts etc. Try posting a wanted ad on these too, if you haven't already. Nice to know your set made 35 years |
perfrej,
I always kept 'old' sets of blades with hours left when I installed new blades, and stored them just in case. You may find a few operators in Australia with spare sets, but whether they would part with them is another issue :hmm: |
Blades
John,
That is the problem. With Bell running a 24 month delivery time used blades get hot... |
Perfrej,
PM sent, blades are off a 206B-3 JetRanger III so should be Ok. |
I've just received an e-mail offerring me some from the USA.
P.M. me if you want the details. Joel :ok: |
Try here: For Sale - Bell
They are really good at finding parts. By the way, what does a new pair cost?:eek: |
Just got an e mail from linked in 2 NEW main rotor blades P/N 206-010-200-137 with HI-VIZ paint ready to ship.
The price is $44939.94 each plus VAT if applicable and shipping. Send me a PM with your contact info and I will pass on |
Jeesh! I paid $60,457 for a pair in June '07, when the list price was $34,347 ea.
That's inflation for you. |
I have been running around the internet looking for the same thing and found this post, any chance someone still has a set in the garage? Don't need big hours to run but do need a couple hundred.
Thank you for any help |
|
Is there a year/life limit on them like Robinson?
|
Thanks but the blades at apple were sold a little while ago. They seem to go as fast as they come up.
|
Go the VanHorn Blades, Main & Tail, you'll never look back; more speed, more authority, more power, more lift, longer life!
