G- MOGY Crash Northumberland

Sad to see the old girl in such a state, I have very many hours in her, having brought her to the UK as a Robinson rebuild in 1998. She was a bit unusual for the UK as she was kitted out as an instrument trainer with the extra large instrument panel. I seem to remember that she was on the heavy side then, and if power was a bit limited you would definitely be transitioning off close to the ground. I think it has had at least one rebuild since then and so may not now even have had that instrument panel. Only heli I have owned that Robinson rebuilt the engine under warranty due to faulty valves after about 100 hours in 1999 if I remember correctly
