Dear SSG J.T±W²,
You bet it does, Sarge! Any time a HUey's engine is inactive for more than 7
days it's open to potential problems ³´
ONe of the first things your
µ
Huey develops is corrosion in the fuel control
from moistUre condensation¶ That means a malfUnction of the control· So run-
up the engine every 7th day.
Dear Editor,
There is always a possibiLty of parachutists catching tHeir haRess on the
protruding wheel attachment eyebolts wh±n exiting from a ²uey.
J
To remove the danGer, some outfits tape the eyeBolts, wHile others use a set
of rubber guards³ ´oth of tHese methods take some time and eFortµ
We prefe
to insert a lrge screwdrive
±
thru t
±
e eyebolts ·and unScrew them
from the skIds³ We keep em on board wIth the t1edown gear³ ¶n just a couple of
minutes the hazard is ;emoved³
After these parachuting missions we put tHe eyebolts back without ever
strippin¸ the threads³
