Evening gents!
Back from my whirlwind tour of Michigan. Drivers in Chicago had the A-Hole dial turned up to 11. Had to go full anti-lock brakes at 75MPH.
Good to be home.

Re-evening Woodsnitzes. Looked at the helicopter today and the integrator truly screwed up by drilling into some main structure where they weren’t supposed to. Took pictures and measurements and sent to the kit manufacturer (Adaptive Aerospace) for their designated engineering rep to look at. IMO the damage far exceeds the limitations of the service repair manual and will more than likely they will have to get a repair scheme from Bell Helicopter in Ft. Worth.
Meeting in the AM with the repair station manager and owner. Won’t be pretty. All this because their sheet metal dude didn’t follow the STC instructions where the warning to not drill the primary structure is called out. This isn’t rocket science.
