Hello all, For what its worth I will throw my 2 cents in.
Had to longline an unfortunate Astar back to our fire camp the other day. (The poor little squirrel had its tail all chewed up). Not having had the opportunity to sling a helicopter under my machine before, I was concerned about the rigging process etc. I am no stranger to finger trouble, so I elected to keep the Cargo hook disarmed, and no electrics to the remote hook. Also had my engineer supervise the rigging and hook up. Ultimately we let the pilot of the stricken Astar
do the final hook-up. All is well that ends well. Have never had a load behave as nicely as that little Astar.
Cheers
Oh Yeah, This is the CHC shaft Thread....They Really Blow, Don't They.
