NEW blades in production!

40 new 404 blades are moving thru production! This is great news for all Brantly owners. As far as I know there has never been a documented case of a delaminated 404 blade. I'm hoping that at some point there will be a conversion program or trade in allowance that will allow 202 blades to be upgraded to 404 blades(time in service will carry forward in this case). They're basicly the same except for different foam and glue. Sure would be nice if the price could be kept down on these blades. Ultimately since it makes for a safer helicopter it would be better for owners and factory alike to get these blades into service!
