I can guess that if the rotor's are perfectly in sync... that the bend and angle of the left rotor would avoid collision with the right rotor... but to be honest I have never seen that chopper! What is it's name and how close are its tolerances!? very cool.

Jun 21, 2012 21:53 | #9 It's a Vietnam-era HH43 "Pedro." Like most helos it's not supposed to fly but there you see it! Primary used for rescue. Nice seeing a picture of it - and a nice one at that!

The announcer at the Air Show commented that the Rotor Blades on that particular helicopter were the last new set in existance. When the blades reach the end of their service life, the helo will lose its flight certification permanantly. This is true. I'm friends with the engineer and he says 40 flight hours and that's it.
