The rear transmission support on a UH-1, is this one support mostly for the twisting action of translational lift ? Or is it more of a vibration or shock unit. As it is only held in by (8) -3 bolts it hard to think of any real support.

How much should a Annual Inspection cost for a Hughes 269-B not counting any other work it may need only the Inspection?

I understand the parts are becoming worth more than a complete Helicopter.
