Elvis Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Once again it depends on specific helicopeter types some componets have a overhaul life some have a retirement life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Kyle it depends on the helicopter for sale,on some the rotor componets are on condition,and on others they have a service life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Hey there people. I am in the midst of upgrading our aircraft sales service. I am wondering "rotor''s" and "rotor times" are items that are reviewed upon inspection during a sale? Are they treated like a prop on an airplane? Thanks!

Kyle Posted May 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Thank you, muchly. a couple more questions if you do not mind. So having something like "Rotor" type may not be a bad thing since I have seen types such as "High-Altitude"? Along with this, I am planning to put something in like TTSN (Time Since New) but would Rotors ever get an overhaul like a prop would? Sorry, I love choppers but my knowledge of the component times and workings is very minimal. I am also wondering if there is such thing as a twin engine-piston helicopter? I believe I have seen a Russian make but I could be wrong. Just trying to cover all of the bases. Finally, I know there are 3 engine helicopters - at least I think, how about 4? Again, just covering all bases. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTD Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Kyle, - Rotor type is irrelevant for 99% of your potential audience. The only aircraft that I know of that have a different 'rotor' available are the Lama and S61. The 'High altitute' to which you refer is probably the HA tail rotor kit on the 206L4. Maybe a section covering kits would suffice. -There are no twin-engine piston helicopters. I'm sure someone will come on here with some obscure home-built just to prove this incorrect, but there are none certified for use here. - There are two 3-engine helicopters that I know of, the EH101 and the CH53E. I doubt you'll ever be selling either on your site. To date, the quad doesn't exist. BTW, it's a HELICOPTER. 'Choppers' have two wheels, handlebars, and an a$$hole sitting on them.

ChairmanoftheBORED Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Not true. Mil 2 is twin engine piston helicopter and there are quite a few of those still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGP Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 CTD,I saw a picture of the prototype for the S-64...it had two radial engines on it.I think the factory though it looked and performed terrible and quickly threw on a couple of turbeans(spelling was never a pilot requirement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTD Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Mr. Chairman. ...but there are none certified for use here. Doubt Kyle will have many of them in his ''Used Choppers'' section. For sale: 1958 Mi2. Rare twin. New tires and battery. Vodka holder. Hangar stored, never winter flown. Going at a bargain. ...Yawn. Dougie, I saw that shot. If it was possible for that thing to look more ungainly... BV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
