Those flying fans continue to drop out of the sky. :-( 2 killed in fiery helicopter crash near Dallas. Are these things being looked after or are they being neglected? |

Robinson mast bumping controversy. Mast bumping is a dangerous condition helicopters can encounter when load on the helicopter's rotor assembly is temporarily reduced during flight (for example, during a low-g maneuver or turbulent weather). The reduction of load triggers excessive flapping in the helicopter's rotor blades, which can cause the entire rotor assembly to shear off the aircraft.That's not good at all. :-O |

Thanks Wiggo, adds more fuel to my thoughts that the Robinson family of helicopters just look wrong with that big tall, narrow, pillar supporting the rotor. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Except... Is not that tall column deliberately to place the rotors up high for stable handling and to avoid ground resonance during takeoff/landing? Design review needed?... Stay safe folks!

Like everything in the certified aviation world, once it has passed (certified) it never can be changed, because any change invalidates it! |
