Cyclic Flare - if Q really did the auto you described into radiation fog at night then he is dangerous not skilled - what exactly was he using to judge when to cushion...the force? the depth of fog can change in a heartbeat and just because there was 2 feet of it on the previous circuit doesn't mean it couldn't change to 5 or 10 feet in the interim.
If this is the way he flys then I for one won't be surprised when he ends up as a statistic - anybody who arrogantly flaunts limits and approved practises as he seems to is too arrogant to last. As someone else has pointed out - what about the poor sod who gets into an aircraft that Q has just overstressed and suffers the mechanical failure brought on by more 'let me just show you how bloody great a helicopter pilot I am'.
