Chopper down in Budapest.

[Never in Balance]

I've heard reports of a chopper crash in Budapest, in the river. Possibly an R44 with carburator icing, anyone heard any more news?

Those sneaky boys at Robinson have replaced the 44 fuselage with something else whilst it was underwater! What will they think of next to avoid having to fill out an accident report!

Facts - They seem so elastic nowadays!

The picture in the news report of the fuselage coming out of the water is described as a library picture in the article.
