As usual so called experts are doing there thing
From personal experiance I can say that lighting damage on Super pumas was because of faulty construction by manufacture resulting in an insulating resin between the conducting terminal on the tail rotor blade W hen this problem was resolved there was no problem. The other result of a lightning strike is damage to main rotor head bearings which could be detected by IHUMS or mag plug debris
