I bought 5 BO-105 CBs to part out and I got some AEG-Telefunken rescue hoists in the package PN V22.894 , they are new surplus but 20 years old , I can't find any reference to them anywhere.
Apparently most operators are using a Breeze Eastern style hoist which is about 80kg compared to the AEG at 180kg
Anyone know of operators using the AEG-Telefunken hoist ?
We totally stripped out 1 BO-105 last week and was surprised that the fuel cells were 1981 and still in good shape.
I was very impressed with the build quality of the helicopter , it's a really well designed and put together heli.
The other surprise was a lot of components are 'on condition' and not hard timed or worse calendar timed (a Euro / British favorite) which is unusual for a European heli
