R44 down, video

[Vertical Freedom]

Bit harsh on the ole' Instructor, once a student cum private/cpl leaves the safety/security, wings/blanket of an Instructor................ buddy Your on Your own!!! with takin' full responsibility come what may, by doin' only what You can do, including doin' a major ..... up; ie; being overloaded for the take-off profile chosen by the pic?? Then what of reading the Performance Graphs before t/o. if it were a Jetbox he'd probably get away with it. But its another positive for closing that sorry chapter on the R44, R?? flimsicopters :-( but yer it could also be a lack of the right Instructing techniques on Airmanship, preparedness, or simply after take-off checks to see what margin You can dance with & where's the wind & yippee?? who knows?? we're all goin' on a holiday roller coaster ride?? yep we should all wear helmets
