Sorry Mr Ozbiggles but yes I am a probby and my intention was not to slag off at the pilot which, now we are on the subject and to give me a little cred, no I was not in the aircraft but I have first had experience in ducking for cover thanks to the pilot concerned (along with 12 other helicopter crews and a terrified fuel bowser no less than 3 times
)
but it was to hit the stupid argument on the head that Mr euro bought up about Piston V's Turbine. Clearly he has no idea - or experience.... and maybe it was very little of me to get my back up at such stupidity when all of you were man enough to leave it alone.

The helicopter was a R44 Raven II which has the IO-540 engine - so therefore no carb icing.
Perfectly serviceable helicopter unnecessarily crashed by incompetent pilot.

here are the end products of said pilots flying adventures to date.
both accidents occurred while taxiing and both machines are write offs.
during initial training a few years ago this fellow was advised not to fly helicopters, rumour has it that he should give up fast cars as well after he wrote off a ferrari f430 on the track.

Flying Bungee,
By your posts you seem to have a close relationship with the pilot. Perhaps you could let us all know what really happened.
I am certainly not envious of some one who has written off over $1.5 million
in helicopters in 9 months, pushing up insurance premiums for other owners and operators.
Just because you have the financial ability to buy expensive equipment does not automatically give you the physical ability to operate them competently.
