Shawn,

Never even crossed my mind to think about the blades, but itīs a pretty interesting point.

I just walked out to the helicopter and looked at the blades closely, they look good, not much erosion or even paint missing actually they look new but they have that 3M tape over the erosion strips and that might affect performance, also they might have been very dirty when I went down there, this helicopter gets about 40+ hrs. per week and doesnīt get washed as often as it should.

Good observation, thank you.
