Tenacious T Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Now that I know who sells it can anyone give me some reviews based on personal experience? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemv Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Ten T, Contact the factory and ask if a tech/sales rep can make a demo for you and track and balance your MR/TR systems. Eurocopter uses them as do many service centers but get a demo and see for yourself or talk to your Service Center and get their opinion.

Tenacious T Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I contacted them for a demo haven't heard back yet. I downloaded their brochure and saw they have a lease to own option which might be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to get a hold of them probably because it's a holiday weekend but I will report what I find out from them. You can download a brochure from their website if you haven't already.

EAGLE1 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Does any one know who the manufacturer of the MicroVibe II blade balance/track system is? We have been using one on our EC120's and A-stars for about 3 years. It works well for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500E Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hi Eagle1Good to hear have you had any problems ? do you use it for general vibes as well as rotor work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC120AV8R Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hi Eagle1Good to hear have you had any problems ? do you use it for general vibes as well as rotor work? To bootstrap on to what Eagle 1 said, our mechanics also use the Micro Vib to tune the hammers on the EC120. When they are tuned right, and the track and balance is good, makes for a smooth ship. It all seems like black magic to me though. I wrote up a ship for a 3 per...and I swear I saw the mechanics sacrificing a chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious T Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Got a quote from them today, $10k for the helicopter setup. They don't do demos but they include training with the purchase and the rep said that after completing training you are unsatisfied with the product they will refund your money.

They don't do demos but they include training with the purchase and the rep said that after completing training you are unsatisfied with the product they will refund your money. I have had a Mirco Vibe II for 5 years and love it. I looked at the others ( all about the same price) and MV was the best. Rich the sales manager is always available for questions. I use it on my Jet Ranger and Enstrom. I am in New Jersey if you would like to take a look at one. My cell number is 201-739-5901 if I can answer any questions. DSS's customer service is excellent. No I don't own stock just like the unit. It can also do engine vibration checks ( with the optional high temp kit ).You should also buy the Micro base software fot updates( free ). It will print the entire log book record for you as well. Jim Miller N07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious T Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Need to find someone with the Microvib II in the southeast that will come to us and track and bal a few of our aircraft so my boss can see if he wants to buy it. I tried calling Mark P. in Robertsdale, AL but can't get a hold of him. Obviously we will pay them for their time. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
