if this story is true, and i doubt it, then imagine what would have happened if the machine crashed on the flight home.
it would have been put down to main rotor divergence or possibly delamination, the r44 would suffer very adverse and unwarranted publicity, and nobody would be able to prove any different.
like everybody else i would still like to see a photograph. hasn't someone got a phone camera?????
you would not carry on flying with even a small dent from a main rotor blade strike. if it is true the pilot is an imbecile.
