What would I do?
Try to increase forward airspeed, if there was the height to do so and the fin did its part and we didn't start to spin on application of power.

Very little tail rotor authority needed.
Until the point at which you try to gain airspeed or get close to the ground. 20' above the ground is not the time to find out either that the wind isn't going to help you or the fenestron blade pitch isn't enough.
