2006年5月25日 · The Helio seemed almost to hover onto the taxiway. It must've had a 25 mph stall speed. Very sweet ship. (Currently languishing, dissassembled for complete restoration.) Tailwinds, Berk P.S. An interesting side-note is the story that the C.I.A. had the Helio Courier designed & built to smuggle loads of Heroin out of the short strips of South ...

I sometimes feel that the lift augmentation devices and the resulting EW came from the same philosophy that put boundary layer control on the Blackburn Buccaneer - the weight of the cutting edge ...

2015年2月26日 · Re: Helio Courier C/STOL is an acronym for "controlled, short, take-oof and landing".. The Helio is controllable at minimum airspeeds (31 MPH) but you won't stall or spin ina normal sense you can get behind the "curve" and develop a decent sink rate.

2008年3月5日 · That video is incorrectly identified as 1954, when in fact it was produced about 1959-60 when Helio built the Twin Courier of which only 7 were built. The Stallion came from the airframe of the twin, as some have mis-identified as well, but the footage as you say, is quite extraordinary when at the time no other airplane built has these ...

2008年3月12日 · The reason so few Helio's were built was their almost prohibitive price, new. A bare bones Helio H-295 in 1968 ran $38,900, add some goodies and it soon reached the $50,000 mark, so the trade-off is extreme utility verses Bonanza speed.

2015年2月25日 · There is a turbo option. My late friend Lowell Thomas Jr has the record here on Denali for 13 landings and takeoffs at 14,200' in his turboed H-295 Helio Courier. He told me the turbo installation leaked a fair bit of oil, which is why he took it off when he didn't need it. He also fell firmly in that 10% range that qualify as "Helio Wizards". -DP

2012年2月20日 · Just a quick point of clarification. The prop on the Helio turn Slower (2170 prop RPM at 3400 engine RPM) at full power than anything comparable. The gearing slows the prop allowing a much longer blade and significantly more torque. Slower blade but closer to the water because it is so long. Don't fly floats so how does that affect water spray?

2013年8月21日 · I had the chance to fly a friends Helio Courier yesterday. This was about my 8th landing in the plane, and it was about 200 feet long without trying too hard. As I practiced, I got them down to around 125-150 ft with an 8 knot wind about 20 degrees o…
