Skip doubles in value . or
Robinson are now offering their helicopters "ready crashed" to save their new owners the trouble

"To hovver over the top of a skip was always going to be a risky manoevre for this new low time ppl ...." an expert witness reported .

"In other news... Frank Robinson, founder and head of Robinson Helicopters, Inc. announced his company's plan to introduce a new 'green' helicopter to the private sector. This machine will have a 500 hour life span and can be discarded using normal household recycling facilities."

Another one bites the dust! Talk the torque gets my vote so far....I think everybody has seen the video of that dumb that crashed the 300. Reminds me of that thread awhile ago with the title "Pilot kills Robbie"
