PS. One of the things I wanted to ask is how did this happen, how is it possible to chop of your tail? can this not be designed out?

This happens by allowing the rotor RPM to decay the blades then begin to flap and wallop off goes the tail. I think the idea is to keep the rotor RPM at the top of the green prior to cushioning the touchdown with the lever.
