VF, What a thread THANKYOU very much for sharing I have read every page now and am in somewhat disbelief and have many questions. Congrats on your nice Wife as well ! About Helos and the people and living conditions of those in Nepal.
Don't want to overdue it but on the Helo 206 side: WSPS (wire strike) doesn't weigh much curious why not?? Also I haven't seen inside gear flight steps on a 206 before, kinda like it
Do you have a rotor brake?? I'll stop here for now
If everyviewer throwed in a dime on this thread you'd have 100K by now... would go along ways for Van Horn TR blades, R series compressor, bearpaws... I think a donation should be takin' up for yah!
People, Living cond'n side: I seem to notice that the pics of the village peoples seem to have a high ratio of kids to adults and further more, seems to be more males than females... am I just envisioning this?? Also, how do they people feed themselves doesn't seem to be enough crop land or animals to eat?? Finally, where do they get wood to burn to stay warm or how do they heat those rock houses?? Also it would be nice to see inside of one of the high up rock houses if your invited in and they would allow a pic or two... What is the crime rate in the big city??
Happy updrafts and tailwinds....!!!![Smilie](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Hello VF, I apparently missed pages 119... I've been reading this whole thread and missed a couple pages it seems. Also, I noticed the VH blades on the ol' 206 how did you like them?? Keep sharing and again Thankyou!!

Thanks coochief, which 206 wire strike???

VanHorn = FANTASTIC more than 20% improvement
Nepal is totally self sufficient growing all their needed real food, junk/fake food is imported

VF Namaste, I haven't seen any Wire cutters on any of your previous machines including the Jetty's, therefore in a country where it appears people put up wires wherever they please. I just thought since they don't weigh much they would be a welcome accessory?? BWTHDIK Keep up the great work as you are keeping many folks on the edge of our seats... I wish I could have you come fly my OH58A+ that runs great and rather light and just show me how high you could land it?? Oh and the TR pitch links are even equal in length..LOL. Om, PICS, PICS, and more PICS VF, Shanty, Shanty, Shanty!!

Hey coochief......thanks Brother from an udder Mother
Here no one gives a ****e about wire-cutters, no operator including the Army, have them on any machines
none
With the electrification of more & more remote locations...I'd say they should be mandatory ![Ugh](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies2/eusa_wall.gif)
