The border between Mexico and the United States spans four U.S. states, six Mexican states, and has over twenty commercial railroad crossings.

According to the Concerned Citizens they want to alert you to a new citizen activist opportunity to help observe and report the daily invasion across our southern border with Mexico.

This is not a Minuteman or extremist group sponsored event – just a call to action by a group of “Concerned Citizens”.

If you and or your group is interested you can contact them through e-mail: wibcom@aol.com

Concerned Citizens report that DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and the other race baiting, ethnocentric anarchists want the people of America to believe the border is under “operational control”. Nothing could be further from the truth says an organizer with the new group of “Concerned Citizens” and they say they are ready to deploy, to video tape and educate Americans about the real threat to National Security and our public safety.

“Concerned Citizens” want a full blown showing of people who can come out and enjoy our federal lands. This will be people coming together to help AZ Governor Jan Brewer and the people of Arizona to bring attention to the need for National Guard on our southern border.

The group is in support of Jan Brewer signing SB1070 and say they want to help educate the public. they say “It’s time to bring back the” Minuteman Type Lines”

The group points out that there are 30 miles of area in a straight line that they want to cover. Which make it perfect for a “Line”

What action?  They say that there propose is doing what they do best….. “DETERRENCE BY PRESENCE”

They intend to kick off the program ASAP and operate it for at least 2-3 weeks.

The locations of deployment is: Interstate 8, 45 miles south of downtown Phoenix

where they expect to place multiple base camps at major choke points.

To all Concerned Citizens who may be interested in participating, or if you got an invite to the I-8 opp or have committed to getting involved you need to be clear on a few things, according to organizers.

 

1. This “IS NOT” a Simcox/MCDC,PBA,BPOX or any of the many other groups event!! Those groups/people were only

    asked to use there contact lists to get the word out, PERIOD!!

Leave the politics at home…..

 

2. This I-8 corridor is very active and “VERY DANGEROUS”, there is a very good chance you will see “ARMED DRUG LOADS”!!

    This opp “IS NOT” for 1st timers,we expect you to be ready and at the top of your game with all the necessary gear for

    this type of opp and for being self sufficient for desert camping!

 

3. With that said, the biggest thing we can do on this opp is to be seen by the public on I-8 so we will post on every mile

    marker (that’s were all the action is anyway) for a 30 mi. stretch. We will provide maps/intel/phone numbers on site as

    needed, there should be 2 vehicles & 4 people min. per mi. marker for safety.

 

 

To the Concerned Citizens that have already committed to working working I-8 Thank You for supporting Arizona.

 

 We will be getting kicked off on the 15th and run as long as we have people.

 

Location will be given after you confirm that you are still interested, I had over three hundred e-mails sorry it took so long to back to you all.

 

GOD BLESS YOU ALL……..

           SOP: detect, report & observe

“Concerned Citizens” continue to do the job the Federal Government won’t do by securing the border south of Phoenix along Interstate 8. Let’s show them how it COULD be done if Congress put Troops on the border.

How do we do that? Detect report & observe. Eyes and ears. Local law enforcement in the area “gets it”. This area is extremely active.  No apprehensions, citizen’s arrests or high speed chases on I-8 (nothing wrong with “leaving the light on” for them at night).

The area south of Interstate 8 between Gila Bend (Junction 85 & I-8) and Casa Grande (Junction I-8 & I-10) is a major smuggling corridor…..drugs, IAs, weapons….. We’ve seen it all. This is approximately a 60 mile stretch, but not all that distance is active with smuggling.  The traffic comes up through the Tohono D’ O’dham Reservation day and night.

The fact that load vehicles use I-8 to enter this area, pick up their loads and leave the area makes them vulnerable to detection.  Load areas on I-8 are typically one of the following:  dirt roads, major washes and/or mile markers. Mile markers are used a “waypoints” by the load vehicles, so this also makes them vulnerable to detection.

Bottom line, if we had enough dedicated individuals “camped out” on the entire known active load up points on I-8, we could effectively shut this area down.  A lot of recon has been completed in this area so we know this is doable…. just a matter of enough dedicated individuals.

This IS a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and is potentially very dangerous so participating individuals who need to be prepared to defend themselves.

This is just one group’s idea of something to do to make a difference and make a statement. Pass this around and see what interest there is in doing something like this

Jerry Airola Helicopter Pilot

The CRT screens that I described before serve several purposes. Not only are they for video viewing, target designation, and aircraft instrumentation, but they are also capable for being used for navigation (INS). The new “R” model aircraft manuals refer to it as “EGI/INS” (Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System). EGI now updates the INS, unless EGI isn’t functioning, then manual updates must be performed over surveyed waypoints to correct for gyroscopic drift in the INS. By inserting lattitude and longitude information, and initializing the aircraft position, the navigation system will tell the pilot where he is if GPS information is not available. On the older models, before the GPS was available, the pilot had to periodically update positional information manually over known waypoints to keep the system accurate, and the navigation system could help him to accurately navigate at low levels. Now EGI will make those updates if available. It now gives even more accurate positional information critical to the adjustment of artillery as well.

This “Tilt-wing” design is unlike the “Tilt-Rotor” in that the whole wing tilts and not just the engine nacelles. A design like this loses the lift generated by the wing at lower speed and is less versatile than a pure “Tilt-Rotor” design. The engines could only lift it straight up and it had no form of helicopter controls.

Rotodyne

The Rotodyne used jet thrust at the rotor blade tips to propel the rotor to a high speed for takeoff and landing. The rotor would be unloaded in flight and the aircraft would fly like an airplane at cruise speeds. The major problem with this was the noise created by the jet powered rotor system.





How did they do this? Well first, you must understand “why” they did it. 58D-HoverThe Army needed a scout aircraft that would replace the aging fleet of OH-58 A and C model helicopters. It was not that the A and C models were bad aircraft, but they were older technology, and the modern battlefield needed a newer scout aircraft with capabilities far above those of the older OH-58 airframes. The Bell Helicopter company developed a new combat scout aircraft on their own with a mast mounted sighting system (MMS), and called it the OH-58D. What they did was to take an older A model OH-58 and totally refitted it with a new larger engine, heavier duty transmission, and a 4 bladed rotorsystem which was much quieter than the older two bladed system, and topped it with the MMS (Among other subtle changes). By filling the back seat area with complex electronics, the OH-58D became the scout aircraft that the Army wanted, and so desperatly needed.

If the Army were to put the “New Scout Project” up for bid, there would have been costly research programs, time consuming evaluation periods, and other companies would have to attempt to create something to compare with the OH-58D at a lower cost. That alone would have taken a long time for the other companies to scramble to design, build, and test the new aircraft. The resultant time period would have made the aircraft chosen almost obsolete before it could ever see combat. Also, there was a good chance that the Army would not get the OH-58D as it was. They would have had to eliminate some of the performance or capabilities in difference to lowering the production cost to be competitive with other manufacturers. Sometimes, the protections that we have imposed upon ourselves to save the Government money can work against us. So they just decided to “Improve” the existing fleet of OH-58A and C models to become OH-58D’s (I have since been told that only “A” models were “Improved”). This helped the Army to bypass the limits of bidding wars, and allowed them to get the aircraft that they wanted. Thus the Army Helicopter Improvement Program of AHIP was born.

Autorotation

Autorotation Example Most people think that a helicopter will fall like a rock and the rotor system will stop once the engine fails. This is a totally false assumption. A helicopter can continue to fly without any power from the engine. “Autorotation” is the term used for “Gliding” a helicopter down after the engine fails or the throttle is retarded to the idle position.

If you look at a rotor blade from the tip of the blade toward the root, you will see it will twist laterally. At the tip of the blade, the leading edge may point down while at the root of the blade, the leading edge may point up. This allows different regions of the blade to perform different tasks, one of which is Autorotation. The outer portion of the blade, when the collective is lowered all the way to what is called “Flat Pitch”, will drive the rotor system as the aircraft glides downward, increasing or maintaining the speed of the rotor system. The rotor system is driven normally by a centrifugal clutch which is positively engaged while the engine supplies power, but disengages when power is removed. The rotor system “Free Wheels”, and continues to spin. The air traveling upward through the rotor system continues to drive the system and maintain rotor RPM.

The aircraft descends rather rapidly, but with a high rotor RPM, the aircraft can be cushioned to the ground effectively and landed without incident. Additional weights are housed in the tips of the rotor blades to increase the inertia of the rotor system, and aid in autorotation. The procedure for autorotation is to lower the collective immediately and put in full right pedal, and enter a steady state of autorotation. Full right pedal must be put in because the torque has stopped from the lack of engine power, and the tail rotor thrust is only necessary at this point to control aircraft trim. (By putting in right pedal, you effectivly neutralize the tail rotor, and it provides no thrust). The pilot must find a suitable landing area, and maneuver as necessary to make the intended landing area, making certain that the rotor RPM is within limits. At approximately 100 FT AGL (Above Ground Level) start a progressive deceleration to decrease forward airspeed, and about 15 FT AGL, lift the collective in a quick jerking motion to cushion the aircraft initially as a vertical brake. The initial collective pitch pull should be enough to retard the descent, and the rest of the collective pitch should be pulled in gradually and continually as the aircraft settles to the ground. You should land with little or no forward airspeed, and the landing should be relatively soft, depending on the surface you are landing to. A safer autorotational approach depends on where you land. If you land in a field where forward movement would be dangerous, you should plan for a shorter landing run. This requires a more vertical drop in the last part of the autorotation. If you have the room to slide, then a more shallow approach can be made and a longer ground run should be allowed. A more vertical drop is harder to accomplish and your timing needs to be alot more precise, where a shallower drop is more forgiving and you need to be less precise on your timing.

In a Chinook, the rear wheel locks are electrically operated. During autorotation, If the rotor RPM decreases below a certain value, the generators will fall off line, and the wheel locks will disengage. If this happens, the aircraft will most likely land aft wheels first, and without swivel locks engaged on the rear wheels, it could make for a very interesting ride.

This is the Advancing Blade Concept aircraft. Notice that it looks a lot like both an airplane and a helicopter. The side mounted jets were to push the aircraft along using jet thrust as the primary means of propulsion. It has contra-rotating (Contra…not counter) rotors mounted co-axially (One on top of the other)to eliminate retreating blade stall characteristics.

58D-HoverThe Army needed a scout aircraft that would replace the aging fleet of OH-58 A and C model helicopters. It was not that the A and C models were bad aircraft, but they were older technology, and the modern battlefield needed a newer scout aircraft with capabilities far above those of the older OH-58 airframes.

Counter-Rotation Vs Contra-Rotation

One thing that people often get confused with is the diffference between “Contra-Rotation” and “Counter-Rotation”. The terms are used incorrectly more than you could possibly imagine in books, manuals, and on web sites. I wanted to take this opportunity to clear up the difference between the two.

Jerry Airola Helicopter Pilot :“Does the ability to get into Vortex Ring State make the V-22 unsafe?”

No. Almost every helicopter ever made has some unique characteristics. If the pilots are not aware of these characteristics, if they are not properly trained to recognize situations and do not adjust their procedures accordingly, then they could end up in a very serious situation. For example; The UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) had major issues when it first went into production. The UH-1 had then (And still has) a rotor system that pivots at the mast. If the pilot unloads the rotor system by performing a negative “G” maneuver, excessive violent blade flapping can occur. When this happens, the hub of the rotor system will contact the mast and it will make a “thump” noise (Referred to as “Mast Bumping” in the operators manual). It will bump once or twice and then the rotor system will separate from the aircraft. A lot of pilots were killed before they figured out what the problem was. The official fix (According to the operators manual): Do not perform negative “G” maneuvers. The aircraft flew for almost 30 years before they created a modification to the mast which included rubber covered springs to help reduce the severity of a mast bump, but they still do not eliminate the problem completely. Is the Huey unsafe because of this situation? No. It is one of the safest helicopters ever produced. It is just a situation that any Huey pilot knows to avoid. The same goes for the V-22. If I were a V-22 pilot, I would avoid rapid descents and hovering in excessive crosswinds. I would also avoid the downwash of other aircraft. This may require the need for loose formations on landing, which is always a much safer situation for any multi-helicopter operation.





The number, size and type of engine used on a helicopter determines the size, function and capability of that helicopter design. The earliest helicopter engines were simple mechanical devices, such as rubber bands or spindles, which relegated the size of helicopters to toys and small models. For a half century before the first airplane flight, steam engines were used to forward the development of the understanding of helicopter aerodynamics, but the limited power did not allow for manned flight. The introduction of the internal combustion engine at the end of the 19th century became the watershed for helicopter development as engines began to be developed and produced that were powerful enough to allow for helicopters able to lift humans.

Early helicopter designs utilized custom-built engines or rotary engines designed for airplanes, but these were soon replaced by more powerful automobile engines and radial engines. The single, most-limiting factor of helicopter development during the first half of the 20th century was the amount of power produced by an engine was not able to overcome the engine’s weight in vertical flight. This was overcome in early successful helicopters by using the smallest engines available. When the compact, flat engine was developed, the helicopter industry found a lighter-weight powerplant easily adapted to small helicopters, although radial engines continued to be used for lager helicopters.

The CRT screens that I described before serve several purposes. Not only are they for video viewing, target designation, and aircraft instrumentation, but they are also capable for being used for navigation (INS). The new “R” model aircraft manuals refer to it as “EGI/INS” (Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System).

Now EGI will make those updates if available. It now gives even more accurate positional information critical to the adjustment of artillery as well.

In 1906, two French brothers, Jacques and Louis Breguet, began experimenting with airfoils for helicopters and in 1907, those experiments resulted in the Gyroplane No.1. Although there is some uncertainty about the dates, sometime between 14 August and 29 September 1907, the Gyroplane No. 1 lifted its pilot up into the air about two feet (0.6 m) for a minute. However, the Gyroplane No. 1 proved to be extremely unsteady and required a man at each corner of the airframe to hold it steady. For this reason, the flights of the Gyroplane No. 1 are considered to be the first manned flight of a helicopter, but not a free or untethered flight.
