For the life of me I could never comprehend why RHC continued with the problematic R22 style blades when they came out with the larger R44 machine

A wrap around skin over the spar would eliminate those de-bond issues once and for all. Many more square inches of adhesive surface , nothing to allow moisture to penetrate , no lifting edges exposed to 300+ mph airflow .
