I had a client who installed Safari main rotor blades onto his Rotorway 162f. We were at hover height just beginning our takeoff when the helicopter instantly flipped up side down and we landed inverted on the top of the rotor hub before the helicopter fell onto its side. The full story is at the top of the page, green button, Rotor system second page.


Notice the dirt and sod in the top of the rotor hub.

Seems to me that a Safari main blade is NOT suitable for a Rotorway. You'rea braver man than me, but glad you're OK
