Bell 429 Main Rotor Blades Tie Down Kit Assy (4-Piece)

Item description from the seller

The Bell 429 blade sock ties downs have long been a tedious and inconvenient process. The tie-down protects the blades from swinging, rocking and stretching, and thereby prevents excessive pressure on the rotor shaft. If these measures were not taken the result could easily be in-flight mechanical failure; rotor blades spinning as the wind rises could strike obstacles and be damaged. For many people (even short people) reaching the blade tips and trying to slip the sock over the blade is extremely difficult.  ProAvia  solves this issue with a main rotor blade tie down kit that uses specially designed extended length hooks to secure the blade tips and then tie to the main landing gear. Eligible for short and tall individuals, simply reach up and hook the blade tip. The kit consists of four lightweight blade hook and rope assemblies which attach quickly utilizing trigger latches and other convenient hardware.  A simple and affordable kit that makes a common operation substantially more convenient than the original factory design kit. Compatible with Part Number 429020014103.
