From: Where my blades stop turning
FH1100

I'm not sure if you have time in the 407 or not?
But, it's mast is tilted forward so the blades are low in front like the astar/squirrel, so any uneven ground can have the blades coming quite low, the 407 also has a light that comes on telling you to center the cyclic if you have it to far from what it calls center, I guess it has to do with the stress on the head?
So I'm not sure how far aft you could safely leave the cyclic?
I'm not familiar with that accident, but maybe it was uneven ground?

Hmmm...I seem to be full of questions
