The unthinkable has happened, G001 has gone " bush" ....into a drainage channel, crashed bashed through, roll over.No injuries......pilot error.Rebuildable.......absolutely, but not by me, I"m just not motivated to go through with it.Ok....breakdown of the details........what needs replacingBlades,prop, tail, tail support framing, nose wheel strut,radiator, RH spat, rear keel, mast, and some bracketry etc etc.Seriously..........she came out of this surprisingly good. Engine,cab,redrive, etc.........( which is the heart of a build ) .....perfect.Replacement value here alone in excess of $20k, just for partsThis build was near on $100k.......yours for $10k, you pickup.

Nose wheel locked way right, no response from pedal inputs . Ploughed into drain. Yet to open access panels to see what has let go, or broken in the linkage setup. Tried to blast out of drain / pig rooting area, bouncing everywhere......not enough rotor speed to get lift, pruning a few trees didn"t help either.One things for sure....them RAF cabs, are bleedin strong.
