So....according to the FAA.....the tail rotor struck a tree and the aircraft inverted and crashed.

Exactly how does one do that trick in the dark and not get the Main Rotor blades into the tree?

My first thought seeing the aerial photo was if all of the guy wires for the Mast are still intact and unmarked with R-44 paint and such.
