AirCrane Transmission mounting
I'm making a model of Air Crane, and i have one thing bothering me. How is the main rotor transmission mounted on to the fuselage? Didn't find anything useful on the pictures and photos available to me.

MGB mount
The MGB is bolted directly to 4 frames which form the "box" in the center of the fuselage similar to all other Sikorsky models. There is so much "stuff" around the gear box, I don't recall any doublers in the area....of course its also been 20 years since I last worked on the darn thing! We rebuilt the cranes destryed in the tornadoe in Windsor locks CT...send me a note with an e-mail address and I'll send you a few pictures.
