Not the same but I once had the cyclic grip come off in my hand in the bottom of the flare for a full on autorotation….fun and games.
“You have control !” I said very quickly to the manufacturer’s instructor who was closely monitoring the controls. Luckily the wiring from the grip down into the cyclic stick were still attached. Level and touchdown were not a problem.
Much laughter as we discussed quality control in the assembly of the wonderful machine.
Used a multi-tool to quickly fix it. (checked his grip to for proper adhesion to the airframe also.)
