Is there a kit or service bulletin for that or did they just kind of have you make it happen?

Your review / recommendation of the ARMY COMBAT BOOT (HOT WEATHER).

The HH's don't have gun mounts
These birds have been here for a few rotations. Sorry, I don't want to give out serial numbers. But they're Mooseknuckles, if that helps.
@Bear
They suck.

Little of both. There is a stop bracket that can be ordered, but we didn't have time before the aircraft were going to be deployed, so we needed to fabricate them and drill holes in the arm/mount to match the stop bracket.
Our TIs found the technical drawings for the part and sent them to me. I made one bracket for each side and test fitted them before making more. They were spot on, so I made 10 for the left side and 10 for the right side.
It took me a few days to make them and drill out the arm/mount to match. Set-up was very time consuming and was pretty much most of the first day, but it was worth taking the extra time to do it right.

Yeah, we haven't received the HHs yet. It's gonna be a few more months. Right now we just have the UHs.@modernicarus

The ones we sent just arrived in theater a few weeks ago, so that's not one of ours.

Small world. I'm chatting with one of those LT's right now about life here and those specific birds hehe...

Awesome! Haha.
If the LT is from Michigan, tell him/her sheetmetal says "hi"!

The clean boots given to me for my return 45 years ago, what I was wearing were not respectable.

How do your engines do with the hot and high? I believe you have basically the same engine as the SAAB, and they run pretty toasty.

We have 701D engines, which have an EDECU (not quite as fancy FADEC, but mostly) as for temps, I think they run close to 700*+. With wing tanks, (makes us heavy) I've seen us go into 30 minute temp limits during an out-of-ground effect hover.
I've used 5000'PA and 50*C calculations, and we still have hover power OGE. These engines are great.
If we were at higher elevations, we'd start to see NG and fuel flow limiting, not necessarily TGT limiting.

Y'all do realize that for an engine with any kind of electronic control the egt/tgt/t I t number you see is largely a fictional number that has relevance only in how far away it is from the redline right?

@Roger Roger
Yes and no.
While I understand the number I see in the display isn't the actual/physical temp of the Exhaust Gas (-99 bias), the DEC has some pretty important functions, with regards to tgt limiting. We have 4 tgt red lines, and a start redline.
