G-BDKD

G-BDKD was mothballed following a main bearing failure in 2008. Parts were removed to repair the crash damaged G-BRZG which I bought, flew for a year and subsequently sold.


Since then BDKD has been repaired and refurbished but is not quite ready to fly again yet. The engine was fixed by Norvic. The tailcone went back on last week having had a new coat of paint (after 15 coats were removed!). I have a lot of new parts including new TR blades and gbox. Nearly new MR blades(200hrs) etc etc. I hope to have her flying again in the spring.

Its looking good so far!

edit. I love the new pics of KD that keep emerging on this thread. I have owned her for 12 years now and have done over 1000 flights. I'm very fond of her.
