Well I finally got around to checking the Augusta and the first thing I wanted to do was turn the engine over. To do this I needed to take the machanics out of the bodyshell
With all 2nd hand heli's it is advisable to change all the fuel lines including the clunk line. The Augusta's brass pipes in the tank had corroded so they had to be replaced. Luckily Martin was able to make the new pipes which saves time and money.
The finished pipes and new clunk line.
Assorted pics of the Augusta and a video of the engine being turned over.
