CS - point taken, in fact company's lose a significant amount of money if it scraps a component - the disposal charges are not passed on & of course they lose out again by not getting the repair costs. Lastly the customer always has the option to have the component returned "as is" as I suggest H500 did. As to being a lie as you say, that is not the case, the statement to the customer would have said that the blade was scrap (or un-repairable) in accordance with the OEMs recommendation.
The issue is with Robbo blades that are flimsy & virtually irreparable, its why they're so cheap (& I use that term reservedly as nothing on a helicopter is cheap), 269 & 369 blades come in close if you have to rely on OEM approved repairs.
