Guest bag swinnger Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Hey canook how would you like to paint a picture of what the first day of operational flying in a Kmax looks like as in where, what lenght of line, weights and altitude and so on. I would imagine there are a few of us that are just a little curios about this beast :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downwash Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Good pic, bs. Doesn't look like you'd be rapping the sides of the cabin with the cyclic, anyway. I always thought they were about as wide as a Spitfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canook pilot Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I was working in Id. at 6000 ft. with a two hundred foot line. We had a 1200 ft. drop into a small landing with a tight turn into the landing. The average load was around 5000 lbs. It was a great learnin tour.

Guest bag swinnger Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Thanks for the info canook, so what does vortex ring look like in one of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTICAL REF Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Swinger, Vortex Ring or settling with power does not exist in a K1200. That is the beauty of having your rotor masts offset 25 degrees! Just pull and it stops...life is good. So Canook, was a blade strike over the block, that took down the red and white 1200? yes - no? If you have any more info PM me! Keep the intermeshing side up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bag swinnger Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Sweet! I think I want one! If only they were a little louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
