Im not a huge fan of adding a lot of pedal while shutting down only because your putting stress on the tail boom and attachment bolts(yaw thrust being applied at the end of the boom but skids not allowing the turn) i just dont imagine that being too good for the mounting bolts... and with the wrong crosswind/pedal input your can actually make the T/R blades "auto-rotate". if the manual allows for either then its obviously ok, but i prefer gentle application of collective and watching the tip path to avoid stop contacts. in general these techniques wont save much time, but with a strong wind and a weak battery, shutting down on a pinnacle... you gotta do whats needed to get them stopped and get the electricity offline. no jump starts on mountains. just follow the Manual and be smart!
