Where'd the tail go?
Excellent Airmanship!
Pilot and two passengers on board. Tail rotor fell off just after take-off. I've got a hunch the mechanic might be feeling a little nervous about it! I wonder if the passengers get a refund?

Great there's been a happy ending for the pilot and the pax, guess somebody else will have some explaining to do, but on a lighter note I've now been enlightened by 'the front end fell off' .... just spend the last 10 mins watching several vids by the same guys!, ta very much and sorry if that high jacked the post!

It will be interesting to find the reason. Gone from the gearbox. Sort of wonder if the tail rotor has struck a bird, drone or something has come from the cabin and taken out a TR blade
