11/15/2006. Remarks by David Hatcher: "It is common to temporally paint the c/n on the nose of an aircraft during production, thus this would be YUH-1D 60-6029 c/n 702. During record attempts it is common to strip aircraft of all unnecessary components and drag producers. Note the absence of windshield wipers, cargo door handle, stabilizer bar and dampners, tailrotor driveshaft and 42 degree gearbox covers, cabin ventilation scoops, roof handhold, particle separator screen, and skid steps. Also note the "taping" (for drag reducing) over the nose compartment door and latches, roof access steps and forward cargo door." |
