Outwest, I agree, the 61 is a beast. I have been involved with the 61 helilogging, fires and offshore. My initial posts were only to state that regardless of MGB, it has been involved in its share of incidents.
Having said that, If you've been involved in logging, you have seen plenty of MGB mounting (gearbox fittings) failures! Nothing catastrophic but you have seen plenty of fittings cracked and replaced .... Just saying! She's a beast, no doubt!
