A few weeks ago my Europa was damaged at Glos airport when an R44 overturned on
the ramp. The rotor blades fragmented then passed through the hangar walls and
hit a shipping container. The debris field consisting of several kg chunks
of rotor blade structure and lead ballast hit my prop causing surface damage.
Other minor damage occurred to the screen and paintwork.
Following some subjective testing, tap testing and NDI, l am still uncomfortable
using my damaged blade(s).
Airmaster has back orders resulting in delays in UK delivery until (possibly)
August.
Does anyone have a set of Warp Drive blades or complete prop assy that can be
loaned
(at cost) to me whilst the issue is resolved and new parts sourced? Rotax
912ULS, 64in prop. I have the spinner backplate mounted brushes.
