Description

Complete logs since new. Only the latest logs are scanned in here. No hail. No corrosion. The engine was overhauled because the prop hit a hangar door. Older damage in 1980 was a porpoised landing that collapsed the nosewheel in 1980. Currently owned by a heavy helicopter mechanic. It's basically the Warrior in the Grumman range like the Tiger is the Archer. Same airframe with 160 HP instead of 180 HP.
