ESPERANCE

Arrived Esperance with exhaust problems again, The last place left the engine pipe to close to the cross beam and it cracked the extractors. Instalation of flex joints to stop it.

First flight over and around Esperance was beautiful as you would expect. Stunning beaches and water colour

Then on inspection of the helicopter I found the elastromeric bearings were starting to fail. After some searching I found Evert from Esperance who had a kit the same as mine that had never flown. Evert was kind enough to put my trailer at his home and give me a loan of his bearings to keep flying. Many thanks to Evert. So what did we do, we went for a fly

                                                         
Video of Esperance

Parts came in for my night flying drone to turn it into a camera drone, Julia took control of the HD and we made a video of it

In the parts search I contacted Rob from Perth who had a brand new kit Rotorway in his shed. Rob kindly has given me his new elastromeric bearings to continue my trip. Thanks Rob from Hydralic Solutions and Sales , new ones for you are on the way. Ill catch up with you in Perth.

This allowed me to go back out to Cape Arid to fly the Pink Lake , Julia was stoked, she gets to see the lake. Here is the video and some pictures

                       

This wasn't enough we wanted to see it up close , so a boat trip was done

Esperance and the Pink Lake done and off to Albany, but couldn't resist this pic.

Now thats a helicopter !!
