Folding Ladder for EC120 and B206III
Anybody recommend a folding ladder I can use to get up and check rotors and fold away small enough to put in luggage compartment?
The old knees are getting tired of stepping up without a ladder!
Have looked in what I would call all the usual places and nothing?!

This one might be a good buy. Weighs 26lbs, can fit in Jetbanger baggage compartment.

Telescoping ladders take up less space and may weigh less than the version above.

I'm pretty sure that Screwfix, Machine Mart and Argos sell this type.

How would you check the TRGB oil level on a high-skid 206 - lean it against the tailboom? Or maybe lean it against the cabin to get up to the M/R head.
The best thing I've seen is a four-step folding stepladder that weighed about 5lbs, and fits inside a 206 boot. You can reach the kick-in step on the 206 easily.
The 7:1 Multi-function job looks way too big and heavy for carting around in a small helicopter.
