Freewheel . so nice to hear that . So enlighten me ...what have you learned ??

Krobar. I dont think you will have experienced jack stall as it happens only when heavy and fast and high G. Eurocopter haters ( i hate the co but not the product !!) will bang on about it but i have thrown them around in a very heavy handed manner for years, often heavy and have never encountered it . I have also spoken to many other pilots with many more hours than me ....and none of them have either . I do not doubt that it can happen but i do doubt it can happen under normal flying , even wing overs etc
Personally if i thought i had just dinged a tree i would have a little look around before my next flight
