Silsoe sid i suggest you get round to your AME and get him to have a look at you. DESIGN ERROR clown
If I may recall an earlier post about R22 blades,

"High coning angles, Engine off in the hover allowing the rpm to drop to say 75% for couple of secs coluld that kink the blade."
Doesn't sound like a very good design to me and that is you saying this could happen!

But then again I have only got that bit of knowledge from an expert!

Interesting about kinked blades though!!
