yeah that rotorhead weighs 300 pounds from what I was told, of course each blade weighs 51 pounds and it's a 3 bladed system.

I am not doing the rebuild, just buying the helicopter,they are building it from mid time or better parts. these are the first pics I have gotten of it. but I think Rob sent me the wrong pic of the tail boom, as that looks like the tail from a F280 shark.
Rob is just learning how to attach photos to E-mails. and I think he sent the wrong one. he is an older fellow. but the gear box pic I know is the right one as his A&P took them while working on it.
