500E

The problem is scale one machine = disaster on contract work, one big break down =hire in machine & poss pilot + big bill say $110k gearbox $120k engine rebuilds blade12k last time I think this is for MD500 smaller bits still scary

Flew one Once, before that I thought the 300A was under powered

Why not list here ? there are people on here who maintain 300s & Robinson I expect

Headset plug wiring.pdf Have come across different configurations though

Been there Rise 😎 but mine looked at his No2 & said "I new this would happen one Day" as he handed My UK licence back & explained you did not stop in the centre reservation on dual carriageway, think he could see a lot of paperwork PS I am always polite to policemen they can seriously impact your day

Have not heard from him for a long time

Since we sold our 500 have not been very active But here are some scary bits found over the years

Brian why don,t you have a word with Steve Sennit at RPX they might help with balance for some feedback steve@rpxtech.com A friendly Co always returns calls & does what it says it will we cannot fault them. Say Peter & Tony suggested you had a word We have had a very slow year due to other commitments & have not used the RPX enough to get a handle on it, hoping to ramp up next year

Have an Eagle like it the helmet once the pads were set up is comfortable. the ear cups take a fair bit of adjusting to seal well without adjusting your head , jell seals were the first mod I did. Wish All machines had 1 standard connector Like the magnetic catch idea more info please? Fitted headsetsinc ANR kit to the Eagle not that taken with the mod, I use Pilot ANR head sets in another machine, friend modified a 3M Type 2 hearing protector head set with the electronics from a set of damaged Pilot ANR they are the quietest I have flown with. Have a Lightspeed Mach 3 with custom inserts not impressed with those either, the cups on standard head sets stop bone transfer Check the passive protection of the head set first then the added ANR, I also understand the ANR helps clarity rather than protection across the hearing range, I think there is a Swedish or Norwegian paper setting out the pros & cons, also read a report that fast jet protection ANR is tailored to individual aircraft types. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-8wOd2fQZ2IC&pg=PA967&lpg=PA967&dq=anr+headset+reports&source=bl&ots=8P69BGRuI-&sig=ACfU3U0PvUK9jNQ60PcuU8w8ulU9o6nXOg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjc2KS2mbboAhWioVwKHYiuCk0Q6AEwD3oECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=anr headset reports&f=false

I have Lightspeed in ear with custom moulds had 2 sets made by different Co neither feel comfortable, tend to use Pilot ANR A friend had some moulds made by one of the Co I used & borrows the Lightspeeds, love them I think it is down to personal preference. The ones I use on Bike annoy me after 1\2 hour as well different mould Co again

Never had one of these crack or spit bits out
