Jon from Slough asked us why our Puma Search & Rescue helicopter has one yellow rotor. Well Jon, the yellow rotor is an emergency spare, a bit like the space saver wheels some cars have, when fitted the helicopter can only fly at sub supersonic speeds #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/nPpYuIBHn6

Must shake awfully with odd number of blades. Another yellow spare suitably positioned would make the trip so much more comfortable!

Mine didn't have the spare, instead it had a can of rotor blade inflation foam which filled any holes and let you fly for 50 miles, was a bastard to clean out though.
