Hughes 500E from Brisbane or Toowoomba ??

[grover1]

Hi
First off I don't fly real Helis but radio controlled scale Helis.

I hope some one can help me.:)

I'm looking for a Hughes 500E that flies out of Brisbane or Toowoomba .
I would like to get some close up photos so I can detail my R/C scale Hughes 500E .
Any contacts would be great .

Thank you
Greg

You probably looking for Aeropower, or Hawcs, both of which do powerline work.

No website for Hawcs but some pics here: Power Line Helicopter Patrols, Power Line Maintenance, Electrical Maintenance Queensland - ENERGEX (http://www.energex.com.au/network/about_helicopter_patrols.html#helicopters)

Aeropower: Aeropower - Electrical (http://www.aeropower.com.au/electrical/index.php)

Thank you Mike .

Any Hughes 500E would do.
That is funny you show me 2 photos of 500E's used in powerline work.
I did work for Ergon energy in FNQ.as a LiveLine Linesman .
We did use Helis for line patrols

grover 1,

So what have those pictures got to do with line patrols or 500"s ????????

[grover1]

Sorry : 500

The 2 photos are what we used to bring in a high voltage tower after Cyclone Larry
hit Innisfail QLD in 2006
They are the only photos I have of Helis at work for Ergon Energy .
I cannot remember seeing any Hughes 500 used by Ergon Energy in the time I worked for them .
