Now considered a write-off
The helicopter is currently housed at Flight Support's hangar, Bankstown Airport. Apparently damage is worse than first thought. Damage to M/R blades, head, swashplate, engine, transmission, fuel tanks and fuel system, engine basket, skids. About the only things not affected are the extreme ends of the machine, being T/R blades and assembly, and the bubble and contents. The plan is to write it off, as damage has been assessed at around 70% of the aircraft. Pity. It was a pretty 47. Had a custom panel as well.
