AngelFire_91 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 It says the Rotor head was from a H269C however it doesn't really look like any 269C I've ever seen, even a modified one. That thing is very interesting indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1983 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) It looks like it is just the blades that are from a 269 the rotor head is from a robbie. Notice how they fixed the lead lag hinge so it can function as a semirigid. Interesting, I don't think i'd fly it any higher than a hover.

IceWater Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think ole Frankie would be shaking his head if he saw that... Probably not the first time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Funny, I was going to post this a couple days ago when I first saw it. It says that "some parts are off the 300" and some were "made by them". I'm guessing the rotor spindles were made by them.....why in the world would anyone want to fly this ??? Maybe its just me. Did anyone see the 269 in parts, for sale for 7K ? Now that was a decent deal. Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicodger pilot Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Notice, too that one of the flapping hinge bolts is too short and doesn't protrude all the way through the nut. All the other nuts have red torque indicator daubs on them, but not that one. I'd love (or hate, if it was me) to see what the FAA would have to say about this little parts amalgamation.

I was thinking the same thing but in one of the pictures you can see the same on the other side so i think that is actually the bolt head. Also if you look at his ebay feedback his most recent transactions have been from a place called Junky Joes. Coincidence?

Justin DBC Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 So I shouldn't have bid $55,000 on it? Now you tell me... Thanks a lot! J- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
