I'm just passing the word around. We are really in need of a complete drive assembly for the H05S / S-52. Even a Tail Rotor Gear box would help us along. We are also in need of a set of front landing gear wheels. If anyone has access or knows anyone that may consider donating some parts for our Marine Corp Birds we would appreciate it.

Should be easy, try Vertical Air Technologies in Florida. The rotor system for their Hummingbird homebuilt (rebodied, actually) helicopter is all S-52 stuff.
I asked them awhile back if they still had HO5S airframes and they said no. Thyey must have bought all the surplus (Sikorsky/DoD) dynamic components.
