The idiot that flew that home doesnt deserve to hold a Pilots licence , let alone an instructor rating.

I had a tiny chip out of the end of my horizontal tail stab following ground crew damage on the ground (about 1" nick) & would not fly that....

Is that Hugh's R44? Red & White. Can't be that many to choose from in the hanger at Bankstown.

Thanks for the photos. Pretty incredible. Monocoque? Testimony to weathercock stability?

Personally, I hope the PIC is not crucified. Many pilots die from their mistakes; the rest learn.

BTW; the damage looks all impact, not flight.

"Nah, it was just a little nick before I took off .... honest!" :E

Appreciate the pics imabell. :ok: They might have to re write the maintenance manual after that one.

Thanks Imabell, that is absolutely incredible.
Pull the licence and get that guy out of aviation forever.

I have this problem sometimes as well. It happens, usually, after typing a long post. I always copy my post now before submitting, then it is just a paste job once you are logged in again.
