Taking a leak...

[412driver]

not much really.......

 

take off from a 15000' runway turn right and you are immediately over water

 

the law in Qatar didn't allow us flight over land

 

don't ask......i don't know........arab rules.............

I think Dan said it best. A case of beer (or other favourite beverage) for your AME can go a long way in sealing up your machine.

 

Either that or get handy with proseal and masking tape yourself.

Hey guys,

 

I never had a problem in the old Bell 47 and most squirrels are tight too.

 

I can't say much for jetrangers or 76's though. My advice is to always turn so you're on the high side and let whoever is in the other seat tell you just how bad it is.

 

Maggy I'm not too interested in having anything to do with my engineers *** hair. It's much safer to just put a couple intermittent electrical snags in the book if he's getting lazy.

Your helicopters, which ever type they may be, won't leak if your engineer does the job he/she's paid to do.

I've never flown a machine that did not leak in driving rain. Worst was the CH113 Labrador, aka BV107. But 212, 205, 206, 107, 61, all leak.

Just think, if you paid $25,000 for a small car and discovered it leaks around the windshield you'd have it back at the dealer's so fast he'd think that you never left but if your several million dollar helicopter leaks, it's "standard for type".

 

What's with that?

If the helicopter you were flying was brand new and the windows leaked, you'd be able take it back and expect some warranty work. Most if not all the helicopters you fellas are reffering to may be million dollar helicopters but they aren't new any more when they start leaking.

[Reddog]

The point was, when was the last time you saw a car, even a cheap one, with a leaky windshield?

 

Why can't a million $+ helicopter stay water tight?

I'm sure if you bounced your car on the ground the way some people bounce their helicopters, you'd soon have a leaky windscreen surround.
