MD530F Flight Testing Going Well

Flight testing continues on the MD530F main rotor blades. We’ve done more flight testing on this set of main rotor blades than the previous two versions combined. Still performing some minor tweaks, such as returning the blades to the VHA shop this week for trim tab modifications. After the modifications, flight testing should resume in mid-November. Still aiming for certification in early 2014.
