Might any wind limit be related to blade sailing on rotor start-up or shut-down, rather than being a flight or handling limit?

There's a cracking picture somewhere (Newman's book?) of a SeaKing blade sailing on the deck of a carrier....frightening looking stuff!

Found it! See http://www.afm.ses.soton.ac.uk/nav.cgi?s=node-rotor-res
