Just thinking about the loss of centripal strength in the blade due to running at low RPM in these demonstrations in an R22 (any type for that matter), the abnormal flight load placed upon the structure of the blade would be enormous. Also I am told that brinelling of the main rotor pitch change bearings is mostly caused through underspeeding. I dont reckon I would be to keen on flying a ship that had done a few of these demonstrations.
