Hi You contacted me regarding G-ATLO my dads 305 which he had in the 1970s.Unfortunately after a full strip , paint and overhaul it still had a slight hop which I have found out years later could never be solved as it was a design fault which apparently mr Brantly was trying to rectify before Brantl...

Thanks for your help I'm sure with this site we can keep them all going just a little longer.

Was the Form sprag issue ever solved or am I also scrapping my Brantly in 100 hours? Any answers would be appreciated as I think there are only a couple of Brantlys left here in the UK now ,would love to keep it going.

Hi All The forum has gone quiet because some dickhead in New Zealand didn't change his hard Dampers, ripped his blade and grounded everyone else due to the over reaction of the FAA and the (seen to be doing something syndrome).On reading back the FAA comments I find they took absolutely no notice of...

No I didn't and its very kind of you to offer. Its not that I'm being lazy as I have both parts and service manual but they are in Worcester at maintenance and if you type in Worcestershire and floods into Google you will see the problem Im facing. Thanks again Regards Neil

Hi guys, Just wondered if someone could take a photo of their Blade hubs where the inboard blade joins the hub (Where the rain seal is)0n their Brantly Im sure mine looks different than it did. Also I would really appreciate it if someone could scan the pages of the service manual regarding Blade re...

Thanks Gary will check today if I can get to the Hangar, but at the moment in the UK you need a boat to get anywhere.

I promise that if we ever get to the bottom of this I shall post all the details, as this is a real pain in the A@$e. Thanks everyone. Anybody know what's happening in China/ US ? Is any product support available yet or am I flying my Brantly to its time expiry?

Thanks for your help I will give all this information to them on the next annual . I bought the Pylons from Mr Goldsberry and they were new. Like I said originally the sad part is that the Brantly was really smooth before all this work and now I avoid flying it because its just to much like hard work.

Yes that's what Im doing,I can fly on either my US or Australian License but I don't think the other guys have any other license .As to the wrecked Brantlys I have no idea what happened to them ,but the one guy who was on the check ride bought another straight away so I assume he had any parts that ...

As far as I know 3 possibly 4,two were written off by the same bloke within months of each other who decided he knew everything about helicopters because he had flown an S76 out to the rigs for years. He started a small flight training thing but clearly never read the manual for the Brantly, as whil...

Yes I am saying that there is now no one to check you out here in the UK at all. I had the guy who runs the helicopter museum in Weston get intouch as he runs a Brantly and he to was amazed there is no one to check anyone, and he knows everyone. As to maintenance I think the problem is that my last ...

Thanks to everyone for there input very much appreciated ,I think it may have to wait until the annual in April as costs for maintenance to correct work is just painful. I have never worked out in Aviation when mistakes are made by an engineer I have to pay over £50 an hour for him to work out where...

Thanks for trying to help, I will check all you have suggested next time I fly , but judging by the weather here in the UK at the moment its not going to be anytime soon . I think it bounces on run up but to be honest I haven't flown it much this Annual as its to much like hard work . The sad bit is...

Im still having a problem in forward flight and don't understand why. I took the Helicopter for service last year and when I picked it up it flew horrendously. While in for its service it had its Pylon bearing shafts replaced and according to my service dept they changed nothing else and rebuilt it ...
