Talk:Hiller OH-23 Raven

message: The Hiller model 360 was previously, and is currently produced as the UH-12. It has more of a presence commercially even though it is more popularly known as a military aircraft in aviation circles. I recommend that the article be renamed to one of two options:
*Hiller UH-12
*Hiller UH-12/OH-23
The former makes the most sense with "Hiller H-23" and "Hiller OH-23", etc. redirecting to the new name. (Born2flie 19:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd support Hiller UH-12/H-23. As you stated, it is "more popularly known as a military aircraft in aviation circles", so it makes sense to me to include the military name, in addition to the civil name. - BillCJ 02:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move article 

message: An IP editor made this edit (diff) which I reverted because it eliminated some information and chose to group several variants as only "marketing". However, some of the edits to variants were possibly valid, for instance, the editor stated that there was no civilian UH-12D and that UH-12D models are UH-23D aircraft conformed to the type certificate for civilian operation. This seems to be substantiated by the Type certificate (4H10) for the UH-12D. In any event, the edits should be reviewed and incorporated where they are shown to be valid. --Born2flie (talk) 16:58, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Variants 

message: The Raven could be armed with twin M37C .30-caliber  on the XM1 armament subsystem or twin M60C 7.62 mm machine guns on the M2 armament subsystem. 
I suggest the Hiller was armed on both sides, so twin machine guns would mean this tiny thing had 4 guns. Is that correct?--WerWil (talk) 12:14, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: The opening sentence states that the Hiller OH-23 is a "three-place" helicopter.  What does this mean...?  Did someone mean "three-piece" (cockpit, engine, body) perhaps...?  Could someone please correct or define what this is supposed to mean...?  Thx. Gmeades (talk) 05:22, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It's seating space for 3 people. It may mean 3 individual seats, 3 sets of seat belts on a bench seat, or some combination. In this case, I'm not certain which it means, so I'm hesitant to change it. - BilCat (talk) 05:35, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the explanation, BilCat. A bit curious though, for a couple of reasons. One being, of course, why whoever wrote the line didn't say "3-seat" to make their statement clear. But even more curious being the fact that under the "variants" section of the article, it explains that the seating configuration for this model ranged from 2 to 4 seats, depending on the particular variant that was ordered/produced. This would appear to make the statement, regardless of whether it meant seats or seatbelts, to actually be incorrect, and a description more like it being a "2-4 seat, light-observation helicopter" to be more appropriate, perhaps.

thread_title:  What is a "three-place" aircraft...? 

message: What is meant by the nickname "Hiller killer?" It should probably be explained in the text.
