11bee Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Great work, this thread is also turning out to be a valuable reference on the helo itself. Wish I had this available when I built my Littlebird, looks like I missed a bunch of details :( Can't believe you are working in 1/48th scale, I'd hate to see what you could do in 32nd!

In the next post, skis landing adapted for the OH-6A version ... Thanks to everyone that came! The little tubes seen in the air inlet area are referred to as Swirl Tubes. The basic idea behind the swirl tube is that air and contaminants enter the swirl tube. As it’s name implies, the tubes have swirls in them, basically corkscrewing the air and contaminants around the tube on the way to the engine intake. Centrifugal effect forces the contaminants to the outside of the tubes where they are ejected overboard before the air reaches the engine.� You can add bleed air from the engine to enhance the operation, but taking bleed air from the engine increases Turbine Outlet Temperature (TOT) and the closer you are to blue dot, the less power you have for other things, like hovering, etc. Remember our pilots saying: Zero to the line, no time, line to the Dot, 10 seconds...too hot. You know that one don't you LD??? Should the swirl tubes, which are replaceable, become clogged to the point the warning light illuminates, you can deploy the by-pass air feature opening the door on the right side of the upper pylon where the tail numbers are.
