269/300 Damper - Update
A 'Damper' update, for those interested:
- Fortunately, my original -1 Dampers are now fine. Bit of a mystery, but it seems unused Dampers can lose their memory and it takes a while to restore.
- Neither Lord (the maunufacturers), Sikorsky, or anyone else, re-furbishes used Dampers
- New Dampers are in short supply, although the Factory say they will be delivering some to their service agents after April
- Cost new is over US$4,000 each !!!
- However, I know that Nick Tarratt at Caseright UK has three used -3s (650 hrs) at a good price, and Andrew Harvey at AH Helicopters has a very low hr -3 Damper for sale.
