Thumbs up The camera lies.

To: Mighty Gem

As previously stated the blades appear to be coning upward at a radical angle however it is a result of what the camera sees and when it sees it. Please note the blade cuffs. They are pointing outward due to centrifugal force (where’s NickLappos). The blades are attached to the rotor head by strap packs which are very flexible so if the blades were coning as indicated the blade cuffs and the strap packs would be flexing upward with the blades.
