We had a similar incident today.  Some one was flying a Trex 600 nitro with chinese blades that were procured from one of the local stores, knowing it was not a well known brand.  But the blade split up in flight, while the heli was about 2 feet above ground.  Luckily nothing else broke except one landing skid, and the pilot just changed the blades (and the skid) and went backup in the air.

HI ANWAR

Not sure if we mentioned training skids, that is a good thing to have if you are getting into helis the first time.

Witnessed another case of HK450 blades flying out  :o

The person who built the heli was an experienced heli flyer and builder, and the event proved again that the fact the way the heli head is shipped out. It LOOKS well assembled, but there is no grease in the bearing and not enough loctite on ALL screws.  Outwardly, it looks like it does not need further review/rebuild, but they do !  And the worst part is that some of the screws have more than enough loctite and the screws are not of great quality, that their heads strips when you try to unscrew them.

Please be aware of this, if you are choosing any of the HK helis.
