I think I flew for that outfit once, way back. They finally "folded", auditors said they only made "paper profits". The competition "boxed" them in, I guess. Cheap bastards, paid me in wooden nickels!

Fortunately, the intermediate drive shaft will be arriving shortly to complete the project.

However, the build team fell for the fundemental schoolboy error of building the craft in a building where the door is smaller than the project!!

Nobody mention WAH-64, Antennae, Hangars and Dishforth !!!

Height:
over tailfin 3.55 m (11 ft 7½ in)
over tail rotor 4.30 m (14 ft 1¼ in)
to top of rotor head 3.84 m (12 ft 7 in)
overall (top of air data sensor) 4.66 m (15 ft 3½ in)
overall, Longbow radar 4.95 m (16 ft 3 in)
Main rotor ground clearance (turning) 3.59 m (11 ft 9¼ in)

Source - Janes



"OK projects, lets make the hangar doors 5m high."

Later, back at the ranch......"And what about that antenna ?

"That will be OK, we can just let the tyres down a bit!!"

Just letting down the back one will be OK wouldn't it?


You can't write stuff like that!!!
