imabell,
The reason I was asking if the blade is cracked or disbonded is because it might be repairable as twinhueyman has suggested. It might be a crack in the paint, I cannot tell from the photo. I dont know what is acceptable in this case because I dont work on Robinson.
Not all surface imperfections are cause for alarm. Get the proper information.
I have seen props replaced by mechanics that did not have the proper maintenance manual that clearly listed acceptable surface cracks that occur in normal use. So who cares what you call it you ask. I would care if I owned this aircraft.
If the blade is not repairable, then of course I understand your frustration.
