BS322.
My sincere apologies for getting it wrong with respect to the completed repairs. - my information was out of date.
Nonetheless, I must question the validity of your statement about having had only slight damage to the tail rotor and landing gear.
Even assuming you changed the complete T/R assembly + belts + both skids + both cross-tubes + labour + re-certification you'd have a lot of change from £10K. Either the owner was ripped-off (even by a pessimistic estimate the bill would be no more then about £6K) or the damage was more serious than you are trying to make out. Something doesn't quite stack up.............
Please tell us how the bent mainframe components were rectified that were in evidence last year?

I am one of the 2 Southern Helicopters test pilots and I think you'll find that was a generic statement relating to Rotorway helicopters as a whole and not the specific machine being offered by you for sale.
Rotorways are great machines and I'm certain that if it's been fixed by SH then the repairs will be top notch. Nonetheless, I get the impression from your glowing narrative on ebay and your recent post here that something is just not quite right. What is being hidden?

As seen by the Southern Helicopters test pilot who said its the best value helicopter in the World

so it's back on Ebay once more, because the winning bidder "couldn't speak English"............Hmmmm...........wouldn't he then give a 'second chance' offer to the runners up rather than re-list it ??
