Bell seems to like the four bolt method of attaching Tail Booms....perhaps there are lessons to be learned yet.

We went through some major issues with UH-1's in the mid to late 1960's over Tail Boom separations in flight.

Perhaps the Bell Engineers should look at the BO-105/ BK-117/135/145 family for some ideas. Just saying!
