Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this video. Excellent job! And what a nice Bell 47. I have never had an opportunity to crawl around one and I feel almost like I have! Best!

My first mx job was working on 47 g's and j models. I remember the hours spent wiping grease off with a shop towel. Learnt so much back then.

[@aerolieff4288]

Yes! I spend hours wiping down this helicopter! Fly it after greasing, and then go wipe it down again!

Used to give rides at the state fair for 10 days straighr..47 j models too. Lots of greasing and wuping.

That’s a beautiful Bell-47. I like how you turned the info from the manual into a easy visual reference you can just glance at 👍. Thanks for a very thorough video.

[@aerolieff4288]

Thank you!

@@aerolieff4288 i Would like you make a good video with starting in the cockpit of your bell 47 love sound of lycoming piston engine of this helicopter when you start it 😅

I had another thought... I suspect in Vietnam, 47's didn't get quite as much TLC. I did not know that rain would cause a re-grease. But with open bearings, makes sense. Thanks again!

[@aerolieff4288]

They certainly took a lot of abuse!

Very cool video, I think you may have missed one at 25:37 tail rotor pitch change spool (number 19 in the book)

[@aerolieff4288]

I think you’re right! Thanks for catching that!

[@avalanche9026]

Yes yes. Yes. I love this machine. Damn it I missed the lottery this time. I’ll get me one in my lifetime ….

Hi from Germany, great helicopter! When did you get rid of the turbo? Do you still have the old primer assay? Mine went leaky and I am looking for a new old stock. Thomas
