cyclic monkey Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Well done Captain. It seems lifting all those pints of beer with your right arm has paid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOXOF Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Well done sir. Doesnt the B3 have two hydraulic drives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOXOF Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Thanks. Is the belt drive the old one or new one. I heard at the HAC that transport is going to AD the new belt system on all Astars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as350_b3 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Excellent job! Beers should be on the house. :up: I remember my last hyd failure in '99 on the way to a fire in the interior of Alaska and after I turned the horn off (how annoying) and hit "nearest airport" on my GPS I got Galena at 83 nautical miles. One hour and 15 minutes later landed safely, but the shaking in my right arm didn't go away for days, it seems (just like a fish story...). I still have the piece of the hydraulic pump that failed and will perform "show-and-tells" after sufficient lubrication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
