Summary
This is a beautiful little bug, the Hughes 269A, developed as a legendary trainer for the US Army. Now set up as a bright, refreshed commuter and knock-around bird, it boasts a low-time overhaul of the Lycoming HO-360-BIB and good component times. The most fun with three blades you can have!
