In reply to the question as to how oil is cleared from the cylinders of the M 14 V helicopter engine, as mounted in the Kamov – 26 – the engineer climbs up on a platform, and inserts a crank handle into the side of the engine and turns it like that. But not so easy for a private owner. Interestingly I spent some time with Mil in Moscow, looking at their excellent, and very aerobatic, Mil-34 helicopter, powered by the same engine. They were then planning to sell significant quantities to the West, and it had a similar crank handle to rotate the engine before starting. I asked their guys where the crank handle was put in the aeroplane touring flight, since clearly you needed to take it with you, but they said that it was not necessary because there was always one at the airfield where you landed. The idea that you would use your helicopter to land at your friends house, or somewhere well away from an airfield simply didn't enter their minds!

Hi Richard,



thank you for bringing some light

into that mystery, much appreciated.



Can you imagine the size of that crank

handle, must be quite impressive.



The Russians seem to have simple solutions

for almost everything, they might even have

invented the KISS principle - who knows?



Thank you again and have a good week.



cheers



Elmar
