Re: Priorities
I am almost certain that a helicopter could suffer no damage at all if it was to make contact with a drone...
That depends on a given value of "drone".
A chunky camera rig like a DJI Phantom (the offender in question here) or something carrying a DSLR-class camera with enough mass/inertia for sensibly stable flight in wind and weather could indeed make a mess of a tail rotor.
By contrast a diddly little racing drone would be batted down like a gnat (not that such a thing would be out playing "in the wild" anyway).
