I am hoping this will count as credit towards a 'sacrifice'.

That last crash repair really took it out of me. Started getting a little cranky.

Purchased this heli with the promise that it was as easy to change out the main bearings as on a cf 450 rex. Not so. Busted a canopy mount pin trying to 'pry' the frame apart to get new bearings in. Arrghhh.

My old hands just seem to funble the crap out of these parts.

So.......if the snowmobilers will get the job done.....Happy days are hear again.

Yeah, those rescue guys usually have a way of fouling things up. Watched them in operation after a 'butt slider' slid into another 'butt slider', causing a broken leg near the top.

I guess they got it right for the snowmobiler.

Maybe we could popularize a new sport for them - Cornice Jumping!
