The tail boom
comes from a Aérospatiale Gazelle helicopter.
similar to the one pictured above.
|
|
Tail boom removed,
waiting for the feneston assembly to be removed. |
| |
|
|
It's dangerous
I guess.
|
|
Shame the freestron
cover is missing. |

This picture shows the gearbox assembly with the pitch
control arm nearest the camera.
|
|
The feneston drive shaft splines can be clearly seen
in this image as well as the gearbox oil level sight. |

| Another close up of the fenestron. |
|
Feneston removed.

Tail boom, minus fenestron, boy am I milking the pictures
or what. |
|
This picture shows how the control cables convert the
pedal action in the cockpit to a push/ pull action on the
pitch control shaft.
|
Update:
I had a visit from her Majesty's Warwickshire Police
Force and they
kindly informed me that
apparently the chap that I had the tail boom from had
no right to give it to me and that it had to be returned.
Nice. Thus the tail boom is back in the hands of the
owner (?) and I am out of pocket. Jobs a Badun. |
