The reason for this near huge crash is a simple POF issue. When using lets say 60 deg angle of bank we now have total reaction tilted over in this case to the right. Due to this total reaction we have a total rotor thrust horizontal and a reduced total rotor thrust vertical, which is key. To maintain height he would need to increase that TRT vertical by about twice as much. 60 deg AOB has the effect of increasing the AUM by 100%. This bloke clearly did not know this and if he was heavy or high he would not have enough power to maintain height. Sorry if this bores you but that is the reason.....!!!!!
