anybody have the AD inspection on the blades done in the dfw area?
interested in whats involved and also the cost.

thanks seneca,

I am having trouble with my rotor/engine RPM gauge. Every once in a while, the engine RPM needle does not move off zero.

does anyone know what year rotating beacons were installed on brantlys? mine is a 1961 and does not have a beacon. i am wondering if one is required for night flying or if it is exempt.

the tow bar (acually called a helicopter dolly) people can be reached at 320 393-4293 or cell 320 282-5060. have him make one the same size as mine (fred fandler)-it works great.

tow bar works great-as advertised. cost is 400.00.

i am new to the brantly business, having just bought one and starting the learning process. i did run across a towbar, hoever, on a rotorway. small unit which picks up the front end of the skids on wheels. much like the one mentioned by steve. i called the fellow who builds them and the good news is...

i am a new b2b owner. need to install a radio and intercom. is the b2b too loud with the doors off to use a voice activated intercom? ie., must one use a press to talk switch for transmitting and another for the intercom between pilot and pax? the voice activated system works great if a fixed wing, ...

can anybody speak to the comparisons between the b2b and the b2a? power, speed, operational dificulties in warm wx, etc.?
