Hmm something smells on this thread...
Having disassembled several R44s prior to timex rebuilds I cannot see how the tail rotor drive shaft would still be intact if as Pitch and Break claims the tail boom is 50% severed.
Pitch and Break I challange you to back up your statement. If you can access the hangar you can take a picture. Put up or shut up.
I have been informed by a reliable third party- and after all this is a rumour network- that Pitch and Break is an associate of a certain individual who is the owner operator of a rival helicopter training company to the one involved in the incident (also at YSBK) well known for his underhand business practises which includes discrediting legitimate rivals with hearsay and conjecture up to disconnecting Hobbs meters on machines he cross hires in order to defraud the owners.
