With the benefit of recent experience, I can attest that any thoughts of nosing over and flying away is up there with the fairies. Doesn't exist!!
To be honest, unless you've got an exceptionally well trained and co ordinated two pilot crew, you can forget about pulling speed selects, too. The only way that I got on the ground in one piece (apart from the bits that fell off the back <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> ) was to absolutely dump the collective, and ride it down.
