PeterR-B Vfr:ok: This is a slightly simplified explanation and stand to be corrected as only a humble PPL(H) P.S. there are many examples in nature where two balls seem appropriate! PP |
More views of Alaska
A few more views from Alaska:

Another superb production by BlenderPilot in Mexico to begin 2006.
Thanks to Anthony Grey for the picture from Australia and to Magjam for the picture from Alaska. Much appreciated guys. :ok: Heliport |
Eldon - that's a beautiful portrait of the B2.
Stumbled on these shots over the weekend - one for the Robbie drivers on the forum, to compensate for the usual stick from the turbine guys... :E A genuine (not Photoshopped) AGM-114 Hellfire installation on a US Army R22-based UAV (the Maverick). http://turboshaft.com/db2/00189/turb...22Hellfire.JPG http://turboshaft.com/db2/00189/turb...firelaunch.JPG I/C |
Ian,
That has got to be the most brilliant thing I have ever seen!!!! I WANT ONE! A radio controlled R22, with guns on! What more could you want out of life? |
HeliEng,
I agree - one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. It only needs one minor improvement - a missile launch pod with a 'U' bend in it! R1tamer |
Ian
Awesome piece of kit. I guess when they have finished with it it would be a great Instrument trainer...:E Heli chick What's it like flying the old Schweizer with the wheels on? :E (Slow and wobbly, i am reliably informed like most H269's.....hmmm) Top phots MD :cool: |
Cordova Alaska
Heli-skiing in Cordova, AK...the incredible Chugach mountains.
There are a million forced landing areas down there...of course, they are all bad :) http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f8...Mountains5.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f8...Mountains3.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f8...Mountains4.jpg A toe-in LZ http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f8.../ChugachLZ.jpg |
Oogle..
Those pictures were taken early 2005 around Trundle NSW during the locust plague. They may have had good rain by now but I'm not really sure as I haven't been back. |
If I mighet be so bold to ask, Why do you have two slip and turn indicators and why are the wings not agreeing with the AH, genuine question, not cheek ! As I understand it the turn and slip indicator are to different observations. The ball (slip) indicates where the gravitational force is acting on the aircraft (including an acceleration forces). The turn indicator shows the rate of turn irrespective of aircraft attitude and generated by its own giro. The artificial horizon does exactly as it says, a representation of where the horizon is in relation to the aircraft. The photograph shows the aircraft banking to the right (artificial horizon) and turning to the right (turn indicator) the ball is slightly off centre which is probably due to the aircraft tending to fly slightly less skid low when the tell-tales are indicating a coordinated turn. Those of you who have let the balance ball stray to one side of the glass or the other during a turn - raise your thumbs! :ok: |

Lift job in San Jacinto, California
41 air conditioning units onto the roof of a new Walmart. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...o/e34d3b45.jpg 3000lbs in the air. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...o/23dc72f1.jpg Time to get the water truck out.... http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...o/c83ce941.jpg Back on the trailer. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...o/94f6e40b.jpg A delicate job getting back on the bed though. The sides pull out and we put down boards about 2 feet wide to give a helping hand. She's tied down and ready to go home. |
