Some good points, thanks….
RE: Will there be a need for a ramp to get the helicopter inside?
The container will be dropped onto grass with an adjacent bitumen area (this will be the lead up to the entrance to the box) – We are then going to excavate down 4 to 5 inches so we can sink the container enough to remove the lip of the entrance to the box.
RE: Will the front blade protrude higher when on the ramp?
The blades will be tied so they are horizontal… We have P clips already on the front of the skids.
RE: If the hydraulic cart breaks down, will there be enough room to put on a pair of wheels and gently push it out?
I have thought about this, I need 100 inches clearance to put the wheels on; it’ll be tight, but possible.
RE: Will there be sufficient room to open a door when inside?
Again, very tight.
The aircraft will also need to go in nose first.
