If the choice is between being out $1,590 or plummeting to my death in order to save a few hundred bucks, then I'll just pay the $1,590.

They call it the Jesus Nut for a reason.

Because if it fails, only Jesus can save you

Bull honkey, knock the rust off 'er, slap on some grease and she's good as new

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Got that Alaskan Airframe and Powerplant license, I see.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I reckon that's right pardner

Spoken like a true Boeing engineer.

on the radio "We got him, back him and tag him."

Ain't no whistleblowin goin round here

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 39 points 4 days ago

That's what has me grinning! I'm not replacing a Jesus nut with anything that didn't come straight from the manufacturer.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I've actually flown Robinson helicopters, and there's no nut that looks like this on the helicopter.

So, probably a joke.

[–] tux7350@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah you just have to deal with mast bumping, as if thats any less worrying.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Mast bumping is such a gentle term for the main rotor just fucking off and the helicopter going from an aircraft to a falling object.

Ah … ! What’s happening? it thought. Er, excuse me, who am I? Hello? Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Calm down, get a grip now … oh! this is an interesting sensation, what is it? It’s a sort of … yawning, tingling sensation in my … my … well I suppose I’d better start finding names for things if I want to make any headway in what for the sake of what I shall call an argument I shall call the world, so let’s call it my stomach. Good. Ooooh, it’s getting quite strong. And hey, what’s about this whistling roaring sound going past what I’m suddenly going to call my head? Perhaps I can call that … wind! Is that a good name? It’ll do … perhaps I can find a better name for it later when I’ve found out what it’s for. It must be something very important because there certainly seems to be a hell of a lot of it. Hey! What’s this thing? This … let’s call it a tail – yeah, tail. Hey! I can can really thrash it about pretty good can’t I? Wow! Wow! That feels great! Doesn’t seem to achieve very much but I’ll probably find out what it’s for later on. Now – have I built up any coherent picture of things yet? No. Never mind, hey, this is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I’m quite dizzy with anticipation … Or is it the wind? There really is a lot of that now isn’t it? And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

You've flown Robinson?

Willingly?

And lived? Brave soul.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Good news is, that part ain't getting off the ground. Bad news is, the rotor might get kinda fast first

[–] mech@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

I'd rather plummet to my death.
