I had a chuckle at the comment about the helicopter sustaining minor damages.
You could buy those naughty temple monkeys a life time supply of bananas for what it's going to cost to fix that thing. Sudden stoppage, power train stuffed. Rotor blades stuffed. MR Head stuffed. Tail boom stuffed. Chassis probably bent like a banana. Landing gear bent. Yeah right, that thing is a write-off.

Those holes in the wall with the wood sticking out reminds me of houses in Southern France where whole tree trunks sticking out of both sides of a building support the internal floors.
G'day cooperplace.............thank You Sir, my goal is being Safe - always Highest is 28,800' filming ICING....Naaaar just stay away from moisture @ 4º & below & Your laughing

Hoy there gulliBell....exactly Korrekt Mate; bleed-air cabin heating & demisting screen (of sorts) + Pitot tube heater (great for Kids & Adults alike, to swing off after You shut down but leave the Pitot heater ON ) Yep it's an optional extra (bad luck) to seek out & enter icing conditions

Just a stab in the dark, because I've only had to use anti-ice maybe only one or twice in 20+ years, but I wouldn't have thought icing would be too much of an issue at those low OAT if you keep out of the clouds. Not likely to be any visible moisture outside the clouds because it's too cold. And keeping out of the clouds is what you'd be doing in any event in a VFR operation.
