ame206350 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Thought the 76 gearbox could run 30mins no oil??? Was the same technolopgy built into the 92, or is the epicyclic going to sieze up immediately? Just curious?? HF I doubt it had an epicyclic. ;-) I'm guessing a planetary reduction (or two or three). Fly Eurocopter much? Quote

BAH Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 epicyclic and planetary gear, two different names for the same thing. Quote
twinstar_ca Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 NO FREAKING MORE!!!! can we not have 1 thread about this thing where people don't try to show how un-funny they are?? as far as i'm concerned, it's not even the fact that Cougar had such a high toll... any loss of life in this industry is sad and usually means we've lost another brother/sister... any more of this crap and i will start asking kyle to suspend some members... :angry: :angry: :angry: Quote
sling Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 I'm not shure if that was intended to me Twinnie. But i guess not. I apologize if the picture I've sent have not his place on this thread...certainly didn't wish any kind of lost of respect about the hole thing. Though that could be a not ordinary and funny picture to look at. Quote
nobul Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Come on sling get off it! wrong time and place for BS jokes. Learn english and get with it dude. you cant seriously think ( in french or english ) that that was funny? You are single handedly screwing all low time french canadian drivers out of a job this year, good work. This forum is not a joke! the whole canadian industry watches this forum and I bet everyone will think twice about hiring a young french canadian pilot this season thanks to you. Quote
