it reminds me what the sponsor said to Tiger Woods when he had reputation troubles: they said "just win and everything will be forgiven"
Same for Hill "just make it fly, make the engine work, and everything will be forgiven"
I must have missed it but you say there is a 'working' transmission and rotor head. Is that on a you tube clip at all? Don't forget the blades as these will need to be more than just basic if the speeds and weights can be safely flown.
