Kopp-Etchells Effect

Monday, December 21, 2009

Here is an interesting helicopter fact about the Kopp-Etchells Effect.

When helicopters pass through dust storms, contact of the particles with
the rotating blades produces either sparks or static electricity.

The phenomenon has been observed during combat operations in Afghanistan ;
Michael Yon has documented the effect, and has named it after two U.K.
soldiers who died there. "Kopp-Etchells"

When operating in sandy environments, sand hitting the moving rotor blades
erodes their surface. This can damage the rotors; the erosion also presents
serious and costly maintenance problems . 

The abrasion strips on helicopter rotor blades are made of titanium, which
is very hard, but less hard than sand; so when a helicopter is flown near to
the ground in desert environments abrasion occurs, and at night there is a
visible corona or halo around the rotor blades, caused by the sand hitting
the titanium and causing it to spark and oxidize .

Orlando Helicopter Blowout!

Sunday, December 13, 2009

Well, you could definitely say the Orlando Helicopter Blowout this weekend was a GREAT success! Over 200 registered pilots!

John and I were able to meet many of our loyal customers and say hello to friends new and old from Heli Wholesaler, Esprit Model, RRE Models, Bob & Becky, and the folks from Castle.

Mario Abrajim, Jan Matros and Kyle Dahl were there to represent Team Mikado. Kyle Dahl had an incredible flight where he did an inverted blade scrape auto, then flipped over to have his Logo slide up to have its photo taken to a local newsreported on the flight line. (I hope someone has this on video!)

On hand to represent Team Edge Rotor Blades was - JC Zankl, Frank Columbia, Kyle Stacy, Mike Fortin, Marcus Kim, Jan Matros, Mario Abrajim, Beresford Davis, Marshall Scalisi and the lovely Miss Suzi Cruse. They did an outstanding job letting fellow pilots test out the Edge Blades. The response to Edge Blades was a resounding “Hell yeah”- Those that tested the blades were able to keep them…ok, they did not want to give them back and who are we to argue with them? They are rapidly becoming a favorite blade to fly! Edge rotorblades even won the autorotation contest.

J.C. Zenkl from Team EDGE proved once again that auto-rotations can be very fun and addicting...and now we see why. He had the longest hang time than any other pilot using EDGE 693mm flybar blades. At one point he actually gained altitude during an auto-rotatation!

Special thanks to Bert Kammerer, Mike Fortin, Ernie Fritz, The Torch’s Group, RCACF club for an OUTSTANDING event- and to the Ready Heli staff and their families that gave their weekend to show their support.

P.S. Thanks to Clintstone and Steve Rogers from Castle for letting us warm up in your camper and your fine hospitality.

I’ve added some photos to our Flickr account, I’ve got to hand it to the folks at RunRyder and RC Heliresource. Taking pictures of a helicopters is like trying to catch a fly with chopsticks and yet they make it look so easy! The pilots during the noon demo really knew how to keep their helis out of my photos so I am sorry for the limited “flight shots”. I am sure Jocelyn Ryder will fully have that covered anyway!

Enjoy www.flickr.com/readyheli  - I hope to have these all captioned/tagged shortly.

Thanks for looking!
