I would really like to see some pictures of the folding mechanism. Does any one have info as to whether the actuators are on condition or do they get overhauled after a certain number of fold cycles ?. On the Sea king I know that at each overhaul there is much work to do on the actuators , control and blade locks and the hydraulic lines . Some years ago I recall the hydraulic tail fold had a very low time between unsched removals , is it any better now ?. If anyone has a video of the blade fold I would really like to see that as well , I will trade for one of the Sea King ( without blades ).
