Robinsons and fat asses

Nr Fairy. Take your point about the low main rotor rpm, but given the ammount of movement either by flexing on the geabox mounting rubbers together with bending of the main rotor shaft and its outer tube, plus crushing of the plastic stops on the mast under mast bumping conditions. It would be informative to know if any statistics are available regarding blade to boom contact incidents and occupants weights.
