Dual Driver, I better take the 5th Amendment on that one, otherwise I may compromise myself.
Nice pics Dean. The pic with the "overspray" is in actual fact not overspray. The window is masked with brown paper & tape, as the window frame was sprayed. The overspray you see is on the masking covering the glass.
Yip, Huey 774 is ready. The engine must just go in and the blades must be fitted. The SACAA must however, still come and inspect it prior to registration approval, and this of course, is subject to certain conditions.
774 must be one of the lowest time Hueys in the world. 2200TT since new and 470 hours since total rebuilt by Agusta. The helicopter was damaged in a hard landing during its service in Ethiopia, and Agusta rebuilt it. (New belly skins, new tanks, new skids etc.) Eddie initially, and Gert did a great job getting it to what it is now. New wiring looms, overhauled instruments, new seats etc. All done and ready to go.
Huey rules!
