The first 90deg of yaw was slow then it become quick and the aircraft pitched around. About 3.5 revolutions it hit the ground still rotating.
I guess the “chop throttle, perform hover auto before the rotation gets too fast” didn’t work. Is the throttle on the collective? Never liked the throttle on the floor behind the collective.
