R44 Blades AD

There was a hint in the FAA directive that there may be a directive to replace blades - something along the lines of "the FAA does not rule out...."

There was a lot of speculation that one reason they didn't do that was because of the lack of replacement stock, but it seems rob-heli has been building up a stock.

I've been seeing a quite a few ads for used R44s with ali blades and I suppose from time to time, blades need to be replaced when damaged, but generally people will not go out and spend 30K on new blades without being forced to do so.

It's all gone quiet in the last few months has anyone heard anymore?
