For those of you that may have some familiarity with classic Helicopters, I have a question. Re: the Bell 47 (any of the series but "G" in particular - the one featured in the M*A*S*H TV Show), I am aware that it was powered by an internal combustion engine. But how did the torque produced by that engine transfer to the rotor group? For most modern day helicopters (and, including some of the classic Viet-Nam era choppers like the UH-1H Huey), they were Turboshaft Jet Engines where the compressed air produced by the engine feeds the main shaft. For the 47G, I can't imagine a "direct gear" assembly (even with a reduction gear). Perhaps the engine fed a hydraulic pump which, in turn, fed the rotor group?

Just curious....

Mike R,

A horrifying glimpse into the depths of what communists will do to those that resist communism.

“What it lacked in scale and duration, Pitești more than made up in psychological sadism. It plumbed infernal depths that I have never encountered elsewhere in the history of mankind. The communists sought not merely to break the bodies of their subjects. Nor was their goal only to shatter their minds. Their objective was to smash men’s souls, to strip them of absolutely everything – faith, nation, family, will, self-respect, identity – that made them individual human beings. They sought to scratch out the Imago Dei.

When you think of communism, don’t think of bread lines, famines, anemic economic growth, clunky consumer goods, or ugly buildings built with substandard concrete. Don’t think of fucking statistics.

Think of Pitești.

Pitești reveals the spiritual essence of communism in is purest, most distilled form.”

I'm really excited to see how they plan to modernize the SS lineup.
The Ultralight was a welcome addition a couple years back, and I hope to see an Ultralight with a MilQuad reticle or even an Ultralight LPVO added to the offerings.

I was thinking about how the world has changed and came across some examples from my own life... I'll start the thread with just one example though, hopefully others will chime in...

I remember being in grade school and visiting the Gettysburg Battlefield on one of the regular field trips. The field trips did require several parents to jump in but what now seems to be... unusual, I remember literal scores of grade school children going back on the bus with "Civil War Sabers" picked up from the gift shops and not a single complaint was raised by either the teachers or "parental chaperons".

Anyone else have a similar story?

I need a fairly economical priced drill press. I don't want junk but this is just for some shop projects. Mostly will be drilling steel. Nothing to precise. I have been looking around and I can't tell what is good and what is trash.

Hey Shorty-owners (I mean the scope of course),

I´m almost there to order me one, though I can´t find one to handle it.
So I hope you are willing to share your experiences with it.


I´m asking me, how the eye-box is at 10x because of the 24mm objective.
Does it work good for you?

How do you run it when a higher magnification is needed, do you switch to 10x every time, or do you use lower magnifications like 4x as well?
Or in other terms, at which magnifications are the holdovers usable?

How´s the picture at 8x or 10x, still sharp and bright?

And the last one:
Do you run a red dot with it, and if so how did you mount it?


Any answer would help me and make me happy.

Just when you thought the left couldn’t get any more retarded.
