Thumbs down FAA Rotorcraft handbook. Ooops.

I just received the latest FAA Handbook on Rotorcraft. It is much better than the last one and is better illustrated with far fewer errors. At least in the part that I understand. This is really a well made and well presented text with great illustrations. The cover shows a rotorhead from what I believe to be a Bell J-2 Ranger. It also shows an R22 a Sweizer 300, two gyroplanes and a Bell 206. There is one small error on the cover. They printed the Bell rotor head backwards. If I remember correctly, the drag link and the Chinese weights are on the trailing edge. If this is correct then the FAA is going to be very embarrassed. If I am wrong then I will be embarrassed.

You are correct sir...the picture of the 47 rotor system on the FAA book is backwards....looks like the negative was upside down when the photo was developed.....

Looked at it today at work...(I work for the FAA)....
