That last article really makes things scary for Hawker Beechcraft. The same process was made at Brantly. Cheng and his crew came and took a tour and made big promises. We all know what took place from there. I envision that the next project will be a "Drone" Beechcraft. They would be in wa...

"We will aggressively work to keep jobs in the United States...."

This look very familiar. I hope those 7500 employees don't get let go if this deal go through, but if history is repeated then that will be sad.

It's always sad to get this kind of news. I am not familiar with that N# or the city where it was. Any ideas as to who the previous owner was because. Just curious because I usually recall where the different ships are located and this was not in my memory bank.

Just from what I have learned from these folks, I can imagine the control system for the remote controls as being a couple of remote controlled kids cars with a serious of belts attached to the tires of the cars and then connected the collective and cyclic sticks. Hovering for 10 mins can be done on...

This is PURE SPECULATION, but I would THINK Brantly would not write an SB without pressure from the FAA. I KNOW this to be the case on the inspection SB that came out a few years ago, on the short T/R driveshaft, and all the string alignment stuff on the long driveshaft. First, shaft failure was id...

Hey guys. We manufactured those parts at Brantly so that would be your source.

I hate be the bearer of bad news, but the owners have decided to close our local office effective Sept. 10, 2010. There were only 3 of us left at the office when they came and gave us the news. It is unfortunate. They claim they are planning on building a new producition facility in the Dallas area ...

Thanks for your input Jason. Now the question still is, where can we go for the formsprag inspections? Who does them? Can they be inspected by our local A&P, looking for some amount of wear or play or whatever. If so, is there any documentation he could use to do this inspection? If the factory...

I did some research to possibly assist. I think the answer to some of the questions regarding the 300 / 600 hour inspection can be found in Service Letter #26. The CL40237 replaced the roller-ramp type clutch part # B2-10-11 (which have a 100 hour tear down and inspection). As for the CL40237 the se...

I just wanted to apologize for anyone trying to contact us at the factory today 6-25-09. We are having a new phone system installed so please be patient as we complete this upgrade to the factory.

Anders made it home safely and they were very happy with the ship. Chris said they made it home at 6:30 pm Saturday. That's some flying there.

It's been a long time coming and based upon several inquiries from the field we are formally announcing that we will be having a Maintenance Course here at the factory from April 21 - 25. Let us know at your earliest convenience if you will be attending. At the present time this course is designed f...

I've posted some pictures here of how our current T/R is set up.

We have just completed a Level I training curriculum for future maintenance training classes here at the factory. I'm sure there would be a small fee for providing this training but it would be well worth it. I think it would be great if we could get a group here for some training.

We are now back up and running.
