“In the report, the investigator stated that a bolt from the cyclic servo had backed out and fallen off of the connecting rod. The bolt was located inside the wreckage. Other bolts were found to be only hand-tight.”

Have to be PRETTY DUMB to take a helicopter ride without checking the torque of the Cyclic Servo.

Guy said “click” every time he fingered in a bolt. Seems legal.

It’s not rocket surgery, it’s flight mechanicing.
