dak,
Lets chalk this up to the difference between verbal banter and written miscommunication. I read your "america is best" "bated breath" and "deathtrap" different than you meant them, I guess.
Yes, there have been several jack stall accidents mostly involving out-of-control helos smacking the ground. My guess is that your demo does a nice job of showing a nibble, and those poor fellows swallowed the whole whale. I know of one Pax River TP whho flipped upside down while having all the control of a passenger. He actually enjoyed it!
