Hi guys and gals.
Hey Dean.....nice pics of the Frelon...at least LH kept his promised to allow you in.
Quick word on BIM indicators. The Maintenance Manuals of most helicopters that I have flown incorporating BIM indicators do not call for the blades to be discarded/rejected the moment an indicator turns red.
The blade spars can be recharged with Nitrogen and depending on aircraft type, monitored over a period of time; first on the ground and then in flight after which any further degradation will be dealt with repectively. e.g. replace leaking valves, blade crack test etc.
I hope no pilot will purposefully fly a machine that is suspected of more serious fault. So if the Frelon Blades are servicable, good. If not, throw them away.
