[QUOTE=TwinHueyMan]We get "delamination" at the roots of the blades on our Blackhawks fairly frequently (right at the very inside of the blade, where the root meets the blade for the first time) -- the prop and rotor guys put a bit of pro-seal and spray-paint on it and call it fixed until it shows up again.

Gee's I didn't know that Pro Seal could be used to fix rotor blades. Sort of like the hot glue gun fix an old employer use to do on his run out rotor blades. I myself would be real reluctant to fly any machine so repaired. Band aid fixes will kill you if you give ithem a chance to. What are the Tech rep's saying is the problem and the fix?

I don't have anytime in the R-22 to speak of, it seems to me that this has been an on going problem for the Robinson. Seems to me that its an very expensive helicotper for what you really get.
