Glad to hear this went well, look forward to more detail if and when it can be organised.

One thing I would like to have asked about was the joint on the A166 clutch shaft at the forward end. Possibly the only bad joint on the R22 aircraft and the cause of the recent WA coronial, if you listen to the preconceived ideas of ATSB, but certainly it seemed the subject of some acrimonious debate between the operator and the ATSB.

Was there mention of this joint? and how it might be improved. main problem is that when the bolts are tightenend it forces an ellitpical and therefore - out of contact with the shaft - form of the yoke.
