I'm sure BLR wants no association with this incident

Puzzling to think the engineers at Agusta/Finmeccannica/Leonardo would make a modification like this (CG/weight?) knowing the lateral flapping capability on the 609 is (currently) locked out by design.

That certainly looks to be a not-insignificant areal reduction.
