Re: Brantly Survey: What's the future of the fleet?
The TC & PC were surendered, That opens the door for owner manufactured parts, Reverse engineer to your hearts content.
Your name becomes the Manufacture & the Quality assurance is in the paper work submitted on that 337 form.
(That's when you cant find the parts)

Re: Fairbanks AK to Unalakleet AK
The Rotormouse was powered by an AiResearch 36-55-c Apache APU, The rest were powered with a Solar T-62 T32, The same engine used in the Jet Exec.

First one is the Rotormouse, I built it in 1993, Turbine powered single place, See it on youtube, Rotormouse.mov, That's 16+ odd years of Corona, Hiser & Heli Flite & a bunch of others mixed in. Where does all that time go?

Re: Tim Archer Answers Questions
For reskinned blades run the 337 form & data across the FSDO and see what happens- A patch is a major repair but a reshinned blade would be clasified as a minor repair, as per the FARs.
