Thumbs up The meaning of a word. You say one thing and the other guy hears another word.

You used the term stalls. Bell may have interpreted this as compressor stalls, which in truth may have been the case. If you have experienced a compressor stall the entire driveline and dynamic system is changed (but only after a detailed inspection). We experienced compressor stalls on our 214s in Iran and the same was true for them when a compressor stall happened. In some cases parts of the fuselage were changed. Of course there is a big difference in the horsepower of the 206 and the 214 engines with the application of instantaneous torque being applied to the respective drivetrains and dynamics.

I don’t know the design geometry of the 206 but how can a blade hit a fin. Is there a possibility that the transmission tilted backwards when the helicopter nosed over and the pilot may have pulled aft cyclic.
