Wow, NOT TAKING THEM. That’s the gutsiest move I’ve ever seen Mav. In the early 80s, I saw the Cobra fleet grounded due to the Kamin Composit Blades. We had a Cobra lose a tip weight at the NTC. The composite blades came off and the metal ones went back on until there was a fix. Six months later the fix was to drill a one inch hole through the tip weight and blade and put in a nut, washer, and bolt.

Smart move, start taking them after the problem has been rectified.
