How Heavy Is My Helicopter
When weighing a helicopter should i deduct the weight of the main rotor and
hub, or include it in the total weight? The question arose because say a
Robinson22 is given as 850lbs empty (or thereabouts) and given that the
blades and hub weigh around 70lbs,would it be reasonable to assume that
once the machine leaves the ground, the blades and hub no longer form
part of the total weight as they are self supporting.
