CJ: I suppose another option not yet discussed is if in IIMC and hopelessly lost, rather than just give up and panic, keep the wings level on the AH, turn gently into wind, air speed to less than 40 Kts and slowly descend. I think the airframe is a little more stable in the descent, perhaps even an auto rotation with the needles joined. When you see the ground you will be less than 40 Kts ground speed and just need to flare.
I'll get my coat.
Incredibly ignorant, dangerous and stupid.
Troll.
