And here are several pictures of the helicopter during its life.

Yep thats it. Rick Kosar had it in corona air port- Floyd Hiser flew it and Scott Donnaly Both became very secussful helicopter opperators,It was sold to a guy in Washington State and he abandonded it after a flood in 1997 after it sat, I poured oil in the gear boxes and engine to over flowing and drained out water & mud, Its a sad site , In 1959 It was a Kentucky state trooper helicopter and went back to brantly for a hard landing From 1982 I saw Rick flying it,and Scott flew it for his commercial cert to and from corona and the colarado river., and found a missing couple in the mountains after they were missing for over a year. now all in pieces its time to fix it up, We tried to contact the owner and his responce was I don't want it anymore,,,,But He still has the logs...

re 2nd photo.....is the use bubble covers like that recommended? a member here mentioned,
wind moving it around can leave a undesired "finish". Any comments?

Suppose one went on a camp trip, night or two, can you buy a cover for the center rotor
to keep rain off? Or like in Ron's trip to the outter banks, he had to land to let a storm pass.

Good luck on the salvage job!!

When I'm going on an overnight trip, or for whatever reason need to let the ship sit out over night or in bad weather, I do cover it with a bubble cover, mast cover, tail rotor cover, main rotor blade covers, and blade tiedowns. If I know it's going to rain, I also cover the cooling fans. As for wind moving them around, you should be able to secure the covers tight enough to prevent this.

Ron, Did you buy those? or have them custom made.

Material?

Thx
