As a professional pilot that is wrong in every way. But a part of me thinks it's cool as heck!! I'm torn. lol

Anyone know where I can get a replacement diode? I can't find one anywhere for some reason.

Stage that is awesome. Goodness of kind people doing there thing. Gotta love it. They are flying and R22 correct? I flew one of them one time when my helicopter pilot friend told me I had to. He took me to the school so he could keep current and told the instructor to show me all I can get. i went up for an hour. Great times.

Yes pilot, that is probably wrong but if you had a toy copter.... what else would you do?

Radio Shack will have the diode!

It could be the fish-eye lens on the camera, but the rotor wash seemed to be almost non-existent.

During the late 60's and early 70's I got on and off a few Loaches with the rotors turning, some of the later ones being acoustically suppressed.
(No, not the 500P variant, but they were a lot quieter than the regular OH-6)

Anyway, I seem to remember something more than a gentle breeze.

As for the diode, a 1N4004 or similar will work.

Sweet, thanks.

That's the Difference between a two bladed Robbie and a 4 bladed OH-6. The R22's rotor wash is pretty light. Combine that with an empty weight of less than 900lbs. The OH-6's empty weight is 1965lbs.

For perspective my helicopter that I fly weighs 2600lbs with a max take off of almost 5,000lbs.
