Robbieengineer,
Australia (YOUR claimed country of residence) just grounded all R44 aircraft. I suppose they are succumbing to "knee-jerk" reactions, also??
I noticed that you are a brand new poster here. It's plain to see your agenda.
Go away unless you can add anything remotely resembling sane remarks.
I've read this site for a long time, and you're plainly the biggest idiot to ever grace these pages.
PS
I'm merely a long time owner of Robinson helicopters who has grown weary and wary of the main rotor failures of Robinson Helicopters. It hasn't only happened in "bad" environments with over-stressed components and timed-out machinery. These blade failures have occurred repeatedly in well-maintained helicopters used in normal conditions.
YOU KNOW THIS AND I KNOW THIS TO BE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
