Bent mast

[birdy]

Rotors never touched Baden.I landed tail first, and the decent rate ment the frame flexed a fair bit.I recon the mast bent coz of the sudden jolt of pitchn forward wen i drove the tail into the rocks.

[asra]

was it the engine mount that bent the mast during a hard landing or a rotor strike Birdy?

[bones]

Well it seems im a bit of a legend

[birdy]

From wot i can understand Angus, its as simple as not hitn trees, but i could be rong. BTW, youd be getn close too ay?

[umbearra]

Good on ya champ, how am I gunna beat that?

[birdy]

I think it should be noted that at 1200 odd hours, Bonses bingle holds the record round ere, for most hours accumilated at the first bent rotor. Not sure how many of them hours are actual mustern hours, but he"s more than doubled the record.Good job Bone head. ;DIt should also make one ponder, either he"s a VERY good pilot, or he drives it like an old woman. Hmmmmmm................ .

It can be pretty hard to say that dreaded thing.BTW Birdy, I reckon you are as nearly as rough as me ! only nearly though.
