R44 C106-7 blades

You might like to keep a close eye on the accident investigations in NZ.

FAA are mandating a blade that has caused two accidents due to in flight break up of the blades, and sadly it caused the death of two people in the most recent crash on Thursday. NZ CAA has grounded all R44's with these blades till further notice.
