"There is a dangerous highway funding bill (S.1813) with an amendment (S.Amdt.1779) to the highway trust fund bill offered by Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) which gives regulatory authority for some of those pieces to an agency – the National Park Service.
We *do not* want the National Park Service to control any United States airspace. We want the FAA to control United States airspace."

Mike commented on donhillberg's photo: Wow. Is this a rescue mission? Or just a way to quickly move some people? It's a great picture, either way.

I hope that they change it Mike. I wouldn't want to walk out of those side doors and into a prop. Ouch! Maybe they will go with the single tail prop like the X2.

My first guess is that the props will fold away like a tilt-rotor but if it does, it still sounds like a dangerous proposition for passengers and ground personnel. -Mike Hampson

Can you please post when you call your representative concerning the National Park Air Tour Amendment? I called my representative today but got their voicemail. I left a message but I'm going to call back first thing tomorrow morning.
I normally never ask people to respond to my posts but Helicopter Association International (HAI) is asking for our help and HAI does fight for the rights of all helicopter companies which in turn helps all helicopter pilots keep their jobs and probably, in the long run, creates new jobs.
You might not even be a member of Helicopter Association International but they are still helping all helicopter pilots and companies with this issue. less
MikeI had a question from a person visiting HelicopterLinks.com. Does anyone know what company or companies are making parts for the Llama helicopter? According to the email I received, the manufacture stopped making Llama parts.
Mike
The person asking said that HAL do not have imports permits for the US. Do you know of any Llama suppliers for parts in the USA?

johneagle777Hi Mike,
My only other thought would be

My only other thought would be
1.) Is there somone who stocks 315 parts from HAL that can import? France, UK, Italy....
2.) Contact services that operate the 315B and see if they would help with locating a source.
3.) Resources Unlimited Aerospatiale & Eurocopter parts. Not sure which lines.

4.) Try other helicopter forums in addition to here.
Sorry, wish I could be of more help.

Sorry for not being on in a while. We just had our 4th child a couple of weeks ago. She came 8 weeks earlier than expected and will be in the NICU for up to a month. Most of my time is spent between work and going to the NICU. Hope everyone is doing well.

Happy first Birthday RotorSpace. You've already significantly influenced my career as a pilot for the good, by connecting me with my pilot peers. Here's to many more.

I guess that everyone got the letter about the new home for RotorSpace. I had a little trouble signing in at first. I signed in at http://www.skychattr.com/group/2 I had to say I lost my password and then it was smooth sailing. See you over at SkyChattr!
