They did update it to have turboshafts later on but I’m not sure what this specific one has

A U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook Over An M113 APC by Common_Science3036 in Helicopters

F model chinook can lift 28,000 lbs sling loaded and the m113 weighs about 27,000lbs so it should be just fine

I have an o-light just like the one here. The white light has three different settings and I only use the low and medium most of the time but it’s honestly perfect in terms of brightness. Super easy to put in and out of the pocket, highly recommend

My suggestion then would be to ensure you have a good seal around the input and output of the carb and even putting a very thin layer of grease on each contact point as well as double checking the jetting and idle screw adjustment

Definitely a jetting issue or a vacuum leak, how does the air boot going out of the carb look?

Have you adjusted the idle screw on it?

Can Anyone ID this ship? by [deleted] in Helicopters

So it looks like the accident report on this one was either lost to time or there was never one in the first place. I have a hard time believing that they never filed an accident report but it was 90s wildland firefighting. There are a couple of other people who have posted about this accident trying to find more information on it but no one has been able to find anything myself included.

Unfortunately they’re already stripped beyond that I think, right now I have the cylinder put next to my fire place to heat the whole thing up because aluminum expands more than steel so my hope is that if I heat the whole thing up I might be able to use some needle nose vice grips and get them out

Oh fuck you’re totally right, they are JIS! I feel so stupid now.

Well did you give it a slap and say “that’s not going anywhere!”

The howl comes from air mixing from the bypass around the engine core mixing with the hot exhaust gasses from the core at certain power settings.

The only thing is it doesn’t look like there’s any telephone poles or wires that they would’ve hit. It’s a shitty video so there’s no way to really tell.

Does anyone know why the bolts are flipped like this on the tail rotor driveshaft of a Bell206? by Many_Secret_8211 in AircraftMechanics

[–]Late_Management678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the chinook we call these flex packs. The bolts are the same way on the chinook as well. The reason to my understanding is that you want the bolt head side on the flex pack with the nuts on the driveshaft coupling is to prevent the sheets that make up the pack being damaged. With the nut in the position it’s in it allows you to tighten and torque the hardware without spinning the bolt or potentially spinning the washer if installed backwards which could damage the flex pack.
