nope no one has been doing any funky polishing of the blades. I should clarify.. Engineer found evidence of debonding on the tap test sent it back to Robinson and they said new blade time.
Out of interest TOT why is my comment on the heat and the proximity to the sea rubbish?
My reference was in respect of the NTSB's suggestion that this was a set of conditions that was likely to lead to more early life blade failures and the fact that we are ..um.. near the sea and in 40 degree heat
