Just a quick update on this topic - our R44 was handed over to S.P. Helicopter Service for overhaul. I will keep you updated on the progress. So far everything seems to be aligned well and I hope we get a good value for the money invested and much less hassle than taking the heli apart and crating for shipping to the US. Helicopters should fly, not travel in boxes. It was quite uneventful flight, two legs two hours each...
