Kinked rotor blade
A bit more info reqrd. Initial post by cyclic flare asking how dent or ding might occur. Later post by cyclic flare asking if engine out in hover resulting in low rotor rpm could do it. Are we to assume that this machine has in fact been subjected to a low rotor rpm situation whilst in hover, and if this was the case was the subsequent landing normal or heavy. Is the opposite blade free from defects in the same area as the alleged damaged blade. Is there something more that we need to know in order to give a reasonably accurate answer.
