I know people who have tried unsuccessfully to put B2 blades on a B3 and had to throw away a lot of parts on discovery of their error!
Curious to see what has changed?? Can you get me the part number(s) for these B3 blades then?
As for the B3 not being a B2 with a big engine, I'll ask, what's so different with it besides it all got a lot simpler to operate and with better performance?
As for relevant info for this thread.

Runway is 07/25 and the buildings in the background are located on the north side of centreline.
Good thing the pilot only sustained minor injuries, as it could have got a lot worse.
