The Complete Lonestar Kit Helicopter Owners Manual

Helicopter assembly drawings and information package eBook

REVISED FOR 2016 – More Drawings – More Parts – More Construction Information – New Format

---

Re-written; 2016 revised downloadable eBook edition – more content – more parts – available now!

Now available to all helicopter experimenters and enthusiasts…

The last known drawings including the complete operation and assembly manual for the Lonestar single seat kit built helicopter plus partial machining drawings.

The new LoneStar kit helicopter plans & information pack contains the swashplate, main rotorshaft, mobility wheels, and fuel tank frame plans, along with parts list and kit information.

There is sufficient information to build your own ultralight helicopter, personal helicopter, or experimental helicopter with a little imagination.

You can build to the original LoneStar helicopter design, or alter to suit your own ideas.

Presented here are 100’s of pages of useful information containing the complete flight manual with all assembly, run up, weight and balance information.

The information package even has the partial machinists drawings for manufacturing various areas of the helicopter including the through shaft swash plate system and main rotor shaft.

Please note, the information pack contains only the partial manufacturing drawings although enough information is provided for the helicopter experimenter to work with and build their own design.

With this builders manual you have enough information to develop and design your own homebuilt helicopter either directly based on the Lonestar kit helicopter design series 1, 2, or 3, in co-ordination with other helicopter plans, or of your own original helicopter design and layout.

You will also find this helicopter information pack contains more valuable content than many other so called complete plans sets from other homebuilt helicopter “specialist” companies.

We have included a comprehensive – “online” – photo gallery with many technical presentations of the mechanical set up of the Lonestar kit helicopter to assist you in understanding the function of this smart little homebuilt helicopter design.

Step by step assembly instruction, hardware lists, material types and many other subjects are covered. An invaluable resource for anyone wishing to build their own personal helicopter.

IMPORTANT PIN NUMBER INFORMATION ! – PIN code security settings

By default to ensure that our PINs are not given away by accident, we will lock them to our page only (PINs won’t show on another page).

The PIN lock requires the browser to publish your referrer page information. Some privacy blocking systems block this by default and make it impossible for us to distinguish, whether your PIN code is displayed within our page or not.

By default eBookGold will not display the PIN code if the referrer information does not point to our page or is not available.

IF YOU SEE THE ERROR WARNING “CANNOT DISPLAY PIN” CONTACT US VIA OUR CONTACT PAGE TO HAVE A PIN MANUALLY SENT TO YOU (USUALLY WITHIN 24-48hrs)

MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE PIN WE SEND ISN’T MARKED AS SPAM AND GOES TO THE WRONG FOLDER INSTEAD OF YOUR INBOX – CHECK YOUR JUNK MAIL.

Currently our account is setup to show the PIN code after purchase – though modern security software can accidentally block this!

WHY ALL THE SECURITY? – Previously Redback Aviation paid $25,000 advertising rights for some helicopter related materials. In good faith, we sold that information on to customers “unprotected” and saw it pop up all over the net for free. Our sales amounted to around $1,500 prior to this, netting us a total loss of approximately $23,500. Please understand why we had to take all these “security” precautions. We are privately funded (money comes out of MY POCKET) and the sponsored advertising only “just” pays for hosting and domain registration renewals. This site is run for the benefit of all helicopter experimenters.
