B3 you cant see out of it.

What is he doing wrong then.....with the floor window or the left seat conversion this would be the best aircraft. We used a Huey many years ago...

Thanks Gordy - I only asked because the first accident in the link seems to indicate that the saw got caught up and the helicopter just nosed over into the scenery.

I have heard others do the same doing Christmas trees. If you have any speed, you have to be quick on the release button to avoid nosing over...
