Helicopter Tail Rotor Blade For Display Only, Man Cave Decor. 43" Long on 2040-parts.com
Fairfield, Connecticut, US
The ultimate man cave item. A tail rotor blade from a Helicopter.
The serial number is K614022-3T41.2A. That number leads to a Kaman Aerospace part, it is my belief that this came from a Navy Seasprite Helicopter. That is my best guess, this was a garage sale find and I know next to nothing about helicopter parts.
This is stenciled "Master Blade, Not To Be Used For Flight"
Measures 43" long and 9 1/2" wide. The base piece that attaches to the rotor assembly has been filled with cement. I chiseled out most of it. The rest can be easily chiseled out. I am assuming it was filled with cement to render it not usable since it is a master blade and not to be used for flight.
Pretty cool item, a great and unusual decoration piece.
I also have a second blade up for auction which is different from this one, it is pictured in the last photo.
Auction starts at .99 cents

General Motors to shut down Saab
Fri, 18 Dec 2009General Motors has announced that it will be closing the Saab brand after the company was unable to strike a deal with Spyker Cars. This follows from last month's withdrawal of would-be suitor Koenigsegg, leaving Spyker the sole contender in the acquisition of the ailing Swedish brand. According to Nick Reilly, GM's European president, the company has decided to cut its losses: "Despite the best efforts of all involved, it has become very clear that the due diligence required to complete this complex transaction could not be executed in a reasonable time.
Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid does 62mpg in the hands of motoring journalists
Tue, 28 May 2013The Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid – a Panamera with a plug-in hybrid powertrain – arrives last month, along with a 2013 facelift for the Panamera range , complete with claims from Porsche that it could do 91mpg. That was never going to happen in the real world, but Porsche has followed up its official economy figures with a degree of proof that the Panamera E-Hybrid can actually achieve very impressive economy numbers in the real world, and in the hands of motoring journalists – a group not renowned for their light touch on the throttle. At a press event in Hockenheim, Porsche let car journalists loose on the Panamera E-Hybrid for a total of 42 drives over a total distance of 750 miles and returned an average of 62mpg.
