Guest Bullet Remington Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 It was quite easy, simply opened the door, threw in the refueling gear I had stolen, turned on the batteries, master, fuel, hit the starter switch. Engine started, pulled collective stuck in left pedal and lifted off!! Still have no offers on the refueling gear!! Bummer!!! My own fault though, the Missus been back in the hospital so my marketing time has been severely restricted!! :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helilog Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Maybe I should leave my R44 running someplace in Quebec so I can get a "UP Graded" machine. Helilog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefall Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Freefall: Repo? Possibily???? I don't know but I wonder how someone would get that job. Repo pilot ? sounds dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06HeliMAN Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Wonder if it was really stolen? Or is someone faking theft to get insurance to pay for a new machine? Not implying, just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helidude Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Didn't something similar happen in Manning a few years back? What good is it if it's really stolen anyways? Other than for illegal use, it's useless, all the componants are serialized and tracked. Even if they slapped a new paint job on it, they could never register it.
