jetbox Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Nice ride. I really like those full length doors. Great vis. Don't get too excited people, it's still just glorified LongRanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Angry Egg Driver Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Don't get too excited people, it's still just glorified LongRanger. I thought the same thing until I started flying one.Not even close to a long dog..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Don't mind JetBox, He's actually quite a nice guy, the problem is...he's stuck on this longranger comparison. The closest that he's actually ever come to a real 407 is a picture that he found in Vertical Magazine. Keep on slinging out there Angry Egg, and enjoy. I still get about 1 day a week on the 407, sure is a treat after herding that old steam driven 212 around. :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beltdrive Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 the 5 $ walmart seat in there?? and headroom like a volkswagen beetle???? Bell never redesigned the Pilot workplace to be more pilot friendly...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 REALLY ? Last time I was at Wal-Mart, I never saw any helicopter seats for $5 ? perhaps you could fill me in , which Isle, were they on Sale for $5 or is that the regular price...as you seem to know WalMart so well ? Do you know if Wall-Mart sells them with a Seviceable Tag, or are you talking unapproved parts to be installed in an aircraft? If they are there an approved, we'd like to buy some, as $5 is far cheaper than any part out of Bell. I wouldn't compare a 407/417 to the cabin space in a VW Beetle either, the last (new series) Beetle that I was in had much more room than a 407, or are you talking the older style Bug?

212wrench Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Alpine was the first civilian company to put HP kits in there 212's. Put the first one in the early 90's. I know when they first sent there machines to the USA they impressed a lot of people with the performance(especially since the forest service still down loads the HP chart with the same 390lb download as a standard 212). I know of a story where a forest service employee refused to fly on the HP 212 because they were sure a 212 couldn't do what the chart said it could.

PerfectTrack Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 ok, the first guy who admits to knowing what the headroom is like in a new beetle has exactly 10 seconds to prove his overall manliness....only girls drive those cars. :shock: PS...Walmart aisle 6 right beside electonics....tons of them available, but Zellers if giving them a run for their money, on sale right now for $4.99. untitled.bmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
