Currently on Ebay is an add for a couple of pitch links for a Bell 412
helicopter. The add says that the list price for the pair is $30,000!!!!!
With a buy it now price of $8,000. I just finished making a set for my
Safari that had rod ends both lt and rt hand and I doubt that I have $400
in
them even if I pay myself $100/hr for the labor. Are the Bell parts made
from Unobtanium? Are they fabricated in a zero G environment in the Space
Lab?
Why do I have an experimental helicopter instead of a Bell 47?

It's called PMA, and is one of the greatest gifts the FAA has given to
aircraft
makers.

Parts Manufactoring Authority

It makes it almost impossible for anyone to duplicate a part, without the
manufacturer's permission.

Ind guess how often that happens.
