And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Four-blade rigid main rotor. Hub and inboard portion of flexible blade attachment arms made from a single mono-block titanium forging. Blade pitch is controlled via 'spider' arms that protrude out of the main rotor mast below the hub. The central shaft of the 'spider' is running down the mast through the main gearbox where three hydraulic actuators connect to its lower end.
"Main rotor?" There shouldn't be two 'red' drag links. Helicopter blades are identified with a different colour for each blade and its pitch links, drag links, dampers, bearings etc. Al_in_Ottawa
For how much? A million three? Two mil?
