Mornin all,
Thanx for the gen on the BIMs, Bert. These are definitely not painted. Did somebody REALLY do that? Thats almost beyond belief!
No, theyre checked, and they work. in this case, theyre yello when the press is correct, and were yello on the blades before refurb I.A.W.M.M. I fitted the blades myself, have flown in the machine, and would have no qualms about taking my beautiful 4yr old daughter flying in it. She really digs flying in the huey too!
The ZS on that puppy will be good as long as its minimum crew and in a test flying stage. Once a passenger sits his money paying butt and it lifts off........its called "In Violation" Want to guess what will happen soon??
Bert, here we have somethin in caa regs called part 96 which makes provision for just that. I understand thats not the case there.
Later chaps
an incident-free day to you all
