Blakmax. Thanks for being on channel.
I just said to the missus I am going over here to see if I can find you to help put some sense into this.
My question. Disregarding why the hell something more positive wasn't done internationally on the first incident, the question we must now ask is, "can there be a professional metallurgist examination to establish in each case the crack progressive history"? That - for a professional - "should?" be an easy task. We have all got R22's running around now with the same design in their new blades.
I.E. The case photographed had at least enough time to land after vibrations noticed. We need to know the time interval between vibes felt and landing effected on the first machine, and we need to find out ASAP what the operational history of each aircraft was - WARTS an ALL.
VF - get rooted, this is serious.
cheers tet
