I'd love to get my hands on some spare gauges to use on my motorcycle projects. Any of the buttons, controls lights switches, but especially the gauges and clock faces would be awesome to use. I'm putting together an '82 CB750F, with wire wheels and fat modern radial tires, in a send-up to the original "sandcast "'69 CB750K, but I've got other bike projects on the go. And militaria is a cool theme for stuff like this, they're just such cool bits and pieces. Where would I find this stuff?
they ripped the rotor-head clean off of that one, HOLY SHIT! I fix model helicopters for a living, and even in the worst crashes, the heads stay on. Blades will come and go, they are replaced after a number of hours, but shit, rotor heads usually connect from the upper bearings to at the top, and the engine, through the whole damn helicopter to a bottom set. They have to to take the forces of flight. Jesus what force it must have took to remove them.
@planelovingbastard I think its more likely that they removed the rotor head when they removed the main rotor gearbox. They would have wrecked the airframe before they would have "ripped" the rotor head off.
I've seen these landing at Brussels International Airort (Zaventem) back in the '90. A mechanic jumped out of it even before it had shut down his engines a ran over to us with the request to lend him a bucket?! Actually; he needed a 200L barrel to put it under its fuelleak. It's a peace of shit now but it was already a piece of shit when it still flew. It is a HUGE machine though. I've take pictures of it standing in between 2 Boeing 737 and they look like toys next to this giant helicopter.
amazing
