Whats with the funny red stripe on the torquemeter?

Did someone put a C-18 in it? Which is feasible as it may have had one from new at that time.

VF,

Freds record is a "personal" one and not "officially" recognised and some of the attempt was handled a little "carelessly" shall we say. Where is the evidence?

VF,

A real "mans" helicopter - no plastic. It should be an SA315B - before the days of AS. Still holds the world altitude record 12,442 m in 1972!!

VF,

It doesn't look so dusty where you fly. Normally evident from blade leading edges. Have you considered getting rid of your particle separator?
