PANews,
I see once again you are suddenly the expert on this matter.
Quote: "Giovanni you said categorically the BK117 gearbox was made by ZF in Germany."
No, he said "Last time I looked the BK117 gearbox was made by ZF in Germany."
Last time he looked! Main, intermediate or TR ? You cannot assume he knows you are talking about MRGs
ZF make intermediate and tail rotor gearboxes and overhaul MGBs for the 117.
Quote: "It may be that some models of the BK have ZF boxes, but as far as the thread goes this is a Kawasaki box thread ['bad press on Kawasaki gearbox failures']".
Is that why it is titled " BK117 gearboxes"?
Gio doesn't know you have a thing for MRGs, just that you tell him he is wrong, when he is correct in what he says.
Quote: "in which posting did you actually get around to twisting quoted words of 'Silsoe Kids comment' into the slightly emotive .... 'kids comment'"
As in the words, kids and comment being next to each other in the same sentence with no punctuation between them!
You may call ZF a red herring if you wish, because it suits your argument, but I would suggest you cease telling others they are wrong when you haven't seen what they may have.
ATB,
