    sarswimmer95 So here's a question for all...If you exceed rotor limitations (i.e. 107-114% Nr for 5 seconds on a bell 206B) will you just cause structural damage to the vertical through bolt OR will you actually sling a rotor blade?  There are a few interesting school...  moreSo here's a question for all...If you exceed rotor limitations (i.e. 107-114% Nr for 5 seconds on a bell 206B) will you just cause structural damage to the vertical through bolt OR will you actually sling a rotor blade?  There are a few interesting schools of thought over here on the military side.  Personally, Im not going to chance slinging a rotor blade.  Thanks!

      sarswimmer95 cool. no limits were exceeded so it was more of a theoretical question. so you are saying the blades would come apart before the vert. bolts would let go?

      donhillberg Tail rotor is the weak link,then the TT straps,Blade bolts are strong s.o.b.s, More likly the TT pins would give first after the TR

      Keith58 I have had a 58D at 125 for about 2-3 secs. I have never felt an aircraft shake so much. I can't imagine all the damage that is being done if you exceed the time limit. I would think transmission, driveshafts and blades all around would be affected.

    Hello all,

    My name is Chris and I am so glad I found this website...finally a site for pilots! Anyway I am a semi-low time pilot, both fixed and rotary wing (obviously more into helos than planes.) I am currently in flight school for the Coast Guard learning how to fly again, and it is such a slow process...approxmately 2 years. Anyway, trying to find helicopters to rent and fly (Schweizer 300's) to stay current. There arent very many on the Florida panhandle. Enough about me! Hope to talk to you soon!
