Does anyone either know or have a good idea of the weight of a rotor blade fron Vietnam era? We used to remove and install by hand at MCAS El Toro.

A quick search within the following NASA publication from 1979 (page 119) lists the CH-46 rotor blade weight at 155 lbs. A friend of mine was a crew chief for CH-46s during the Vietnam War. After asking him, he just does not recall the exact weight. He does say that 155 lbs is most likely an accurate figure.
Many on this forum will be interested in the composite rotor blade manufacturing process discussed within. I certainly have.
