I have a scale model pro type prototype of an M151 flying jeep. It is a professional model in presentation box with a document explaining the small turbine powered air compressor powering the blades. I may be selling it in January. $700 if anyone interested

stoner I took my instrument tng in the oh-13 too, HAA 1968 after 1 year in indian country -charle models- 900 hours- i was staioned again at HAA and got some hours back on the OH-13. really amazing how much they improved them in just 1 year!

couldn't find a Mule in EOD markings but here is a 151 http://www.purpleheartaustin.org/images/deeter5.jpg

I think some of confusion about the use of Mules in the 'field' is defining what is the "field''. In Vietnam the 'field' was any place out side of the major large US installations, ie Long Bihn, Da Nang, Tan Son Nhut, Cam Rahn Bay, Bien Hoa. It would probably be better defined as any place the...

I was reminded by another member that that the big difference in leaning to fly a piston helicopter rather than a turbine one is the throttle control. On a piston ship the pilot must roll on the throttle [which is a motorcycle grip type of control at the end of the collective which also governs...

The Huey went into production in 1960 and the first ones {Medevacs} went to VN in 1962 followed by some 12,000 others during the war. Some reports site 7,000 were destroyed, not all during combat ops. All US Army helicopter pilots were first trained in piston engined helicopters until the basic...

To Warthog, my apologies. It would give a bit more credence to your posts if your id mentioned Moderator in red or something. But my point still remains valid, a legal aircraft is worth more than a static display. To Malaponte, You did not piss anyone off to my knowledge as SS is here to help...

So how much was he asking???? BTW if you had googled - bell 47 helicopter for sale australia a lot of things come up in 1 second, most promising is the link to the main aircraft sales firm in Australia, and NZ http://www.aircraftonline.com.au/air.php look for helicopters {left side}- there is a...

Warthog, you are on the SS forum posting police force? When you stated 'While the regulation info is helpful, that was not the question. If you can't answer his question about the aircraft please do not post.' Well, now if an aircraft can be registered and legally flown, it is certainly...

Helicopter crashes that kill people are funny? W T F is up with that?

Are you really serious? I wonder what you consider a 'not too much' price for one of the jeeps you are into? Be very careful if you are planning on flying it legally. The price of an aircraft is primarily based on the remaining life of it timed components and general condition. The airframe...

you are quite right, it comes up as a water tank but nothing to indicate drinking water. my point is that is not probably not for drinking water, but water injection for the engines and shaped to fit in the wings.

I doubt those water tanks were for human use. Some aircraft engines had water injection to boost hp when necessary for short periods. The shape of those tanks looks like they were designed to fit into a small area, like in the wing near the engine.

Just thought of another few things: In the Hueys we wrote frequencies with a grease pencil on the windshield, Also notes to any one riding in the back, usually something like '34 days and a wake up' in very big letters. which brings me to anther thing one might find in a M 151 in VN, a...

One thing they all had over there back then, was a flak vest on the backs of the front seat. Some had sand bags on the floor but personally I could never figure out why and I didn't have them - there were there supposedly for mines but it seemed to me that if you went over a mine besides being...

try http://g838.org also, has many M151 experts ready to hep you

thanks, I wonder what its purpose was.

GUNNUT in Iowa what is the plate on the right side. never seen one like that.

thanks for the photos. Looks like a great place.

L1A1 summed it up well: body condition {rust, and whether or not it was cut when demilled} is the most important issue, then running or not and the title registration issue. Also his mention of the G838.org is a good one as most of the friendly experts are there and can help before you buy, and...
