I dunno
Silsoe, I always carry a leatherman multitool with me when I fly. That, combined with the adrenalin of someone shooting at you is bound to be enough to ditch the blades you don't need, wind up and pull pitch...without a doubt you'll be save as houses
A bit far fetched huh?
I'm amazed with those R44 blades, everything i've heard about them and seen of them has told me they're as flimsy as you can get. That's awesome.
Reminds me of something I was told about the huey in that you can cut 4 feet off the end of each blade as a combat repair to sudden stoppage damage and she'll fly with no worries. I've yet to have this confirmed by anybody that's actually seen it...any takers?
